Sportsman 400. New winch now wont start ?

[TSG2287]

My name is Thomas and I am new to this website. I have a Sportsman 400 and just had a new winch installed on it. battery seemed weak after installing the winch. Replaced battery but will not start at all now. Everything is hooked up right and I had the winch installed professionaly. Do I need to upgrade to a stronger battery ? Or take it back to the shop and have them deal with it ?

if the bike worked well before the install, i would take it back to the shop myself. it may have been hooked up direct and not thru the ignition, meaning that it will draw 100% of the time instead of just when the key is turned on ...

Yea I am here this week. Its just the engine turns sounds like it wants to start but just doesnt. At one point it started for a few seconds then cut back out.

they may have missed connecting everything back up properly too. you could always pull the plug and see if there is spark and replace with a new plug in the meantime ...

Take it back Tom, but I would just check that the battery terminals are done up nice and tight maybe spray some WD on them and charge the battery for an hour or so but not to long it is a little battery after all:wink: theres nothing like paying good money for a bodgy job:no: Tom will the winch work when the key is in the off position/turned off?

Ok found it today. I feel so stupid. When I picked it up from the shop they had the fuel reservoir switch on off and I never checked it. Im new to this game. Bought it to plow snow in tite spaces a truck cant get to. Runs like a top now haha.
