I just bought my first atv. It's a 2017 Polaris 570 sp with a little over 1000 km on it, it's after an accident so I'm learning how to fix them right away and I hope I'll be able to find a lot of useful info on this site.

Hey joe. What your looking at there are valve stem seals. They are supposed to sit on the base of the valve stem under the valve cover. They are inside the valve spring. It would make sense on the fouling of the plug but they cant come off unless they are split or the valve comes out. So either someone left them inside the engine or they are split ?

Thanks for the great tips, this helped me big time today

It gets to me when some refuse to take this pandemic and the warnings seriously. My daughter and her husband are in the front lines in the battle with it . She is a lab worker in the hospital in her city that is testing hundreds of suspected COVID samples daily putting a serious strain on her and her co-workers handling them and all the other tests they have to do for patients in the hospital. It has been close to overwhelming for them . Her husband is a paramedic / ambulance worker running 12 to 14 hours a day dealing with suspected victims along with all the accident cases they're called for . The extra protective gear they have to wear now and the extra ambulance cleaning they must do is burning them out . I saw an excellent post in a forum that may put it into perspective for those that don't think a 3% death rate ( so far ) really should be something they need to worry about. What would they do if they were presented with a bowl of 100 of their favourite candies and they were told 97 of them are fine , but of them will kill you. How many would take the chance of eating a few because the odds of them eating a poison one was "only" 3 %? Frank.. The only time I want to be that high up looking down is when flying a plane. Like Ajmboy pictures like that give me the willies .

Doing ok here. I'm out in farm area and only go to town to get groceries and fuel. I do visit one friend down the road his dog and mine love to play inside their fenced yard. I haven't hears of any reported cases in the nearest town but I wouldn't be surprised if there are at least one or two. BC and Ontario are the hardest hit by this damn virus, with BC having the largest number of deaths from it; most of them in care homes with the most vulnerable patients. With the border with Washington closed to all but essential traffic businesses on both sides are hurting severely . Cafes, restaurants and entertainment facilities are closed; except food industry can only serve take out or home delivery. Stores are all on short hours, limited customers in store at a time and of course limits on how many items such as toilet paper and paper towels can be bought per visit . There's no shortage of them from the manufacturers, it's just the idiot hoarders have been clearing shelves as fast as they're stocked.. Costco is one store rthat has posted items such as toilet parer, paper towels, hand sanitizer and disinfectants such as Lysol cannot be returned. I hope the hoarders soon realize they've got supplies for the next 20 years if all the social marketing sites put the clamps on the ones trying to profit over their despicable "business" practices . Stay safe everyone .. Get out and enjoy the outdoors, but despite what some of those who think they are invulnerable think, ride safe and not in large groups .

Hopefully everyone is doing well through this craziness??? Im still working even with the 100% shut down we are exempt until we have a confirmed case on site. This weekend my offices and the entire site is being sanitized and wiped down etc by a specialized company. The city looks like a Sunday every day thats how quiet it is. Erie is a better way to put it. Here is a pic of the city i took yesterday mid day, Park Avenue. I'm sure we are all getting a ton of stuff done around the house, honey do lists? My wife is actually a hot mess with all this going on and completely on edge thinking about her father, me or the kids and if anyone of us gets it! Then add the home schooling and logging into the schools for the days work etc. 🤯 She worries to much this woman. Her father i agree as he's much older and has underlying health issues but we are all healthy and i feel we would be fine if it hit us. I wonder how long Netflix will be able to keep up with the volume of users before it crashes lol and how many babies will come out of this, social media shows we will call them "coronials" 😬 Anyway just wanted to see how and what everyone is doing?? Stay safe people.
