I have a 2000 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 (Green w/Manual Trans), and it started having problems cranking......and I noticed that my crank case was full of fuel.....I took carb off and cleaned....ran a while, and still have fuel going to the crank case......any other ideas of what I might try to fix this issue?

I agree with everyone above, give it another cleaning.

Also I am not sure if the 2000 is gravity fed or not but make sure you have the fuel turned off when the quad is sitting. And if you have snorkels sometimes (vary rare) when transporting the ATV there is a sort a vacuum on the carb and it can draw excess gas into the carb and leak past the rings.

      By vickijjones
      Just purchased this 4 wheeler in June, now I need to replace 1 wheel bearing, 2 boots (on rear), figure just do both sides bearing & boots. Was told it had 2" lift kit on it.Read some where might need to get different boots since lift. Want to do upper & lower. Any suggestions on how to tell if it's lifted & boots I need?

      2016 Arctic Cat 500 Repair Manual
      By alexwv1863
      I'm looking for a repair manual that's specifically for a 2016 Arctic Cat 500. I have looked in the downloads section and there's one but it's for 500,700 & 1000 models. When looking through it, things I'm trying to find to fix on my 500 is not specific for just that model, and it's geared more towards the 700 model. So, needless to say, it really isn't helping me. I really hope someone out there has one. Thanks.

      Wondering if 1997 klf400b has a decompression, I’m getting 90psi on gauge.
