Hey Colin welcome to Quadcrazy. Definitely pics always help so have at it. Is there a name on the carburetor? Mukuni or Kehien?

Hey Barry, welcome to Quadcrazy! The cluster on the dash should have nothing to do with the high/low beams. If the cluster is working properly aside from the illuminating portion then there may be a problem internally with the cluster. I would move some wires around going into the cluster and see if it comes on like a loose connection. I am not 100% sure but my guess would be if the cluster has power and shows the diagnostic portion (mph/rpm) of the atv and the illumination portion should work as well.

Good luck. Hopefully it will work the same on the atv.

That’s a great idea having that extra nozzle and a place to put it no less so it does not get lost.

Holy crap. The the engine come to an abrupt stop or back fire at all ?

Ok I was curious what that small brass nut was for on the end of the wand. Usually its there to siphon a liquid into the wand I thought.

Ok, I was just curious. I’m not sold on that stator being bad but go with it and see how it goes. Meantime I would continue with all other tests just to rule out any other failures. Go through everything else so it’s all wrapped up and it’s just a matter of putting the stator in. I’m particularly curious on the regulator tests.

16’ wow your going to have plenty of room with that! Might as well mount a bbq and cooler to it.

Check each wire from the stator to the ground as well ,with the tester in between. See if it ohms out (continuity) Just curious if any of the three wires is shorted. I have had good luck with caltric so far.

Should be a 10 mm wrench. Not a socket.

Not 100% sure yet. I was supposed to go up this weekend but due to the rain I held off. Are you going to have a new machine or bringing the 06?

There is an adjuster for the valves. All you would need is a set of feeler gauges.

Nice mike. Do you u spray on the cleaner by spray bottle or does it attach to the sprayer?

That’s good. Can’t wait to see it brother. U know we’re hitting the trials as soon as u get it set up.

Wow that’s great you were able to get it back! So are you going add that in as a trade in or hold onto it ?

That white should go to the ignition, regulator and an aux set of wires. Check that the cdi is getting power also. I believe the cdi power wire is yellow/red. Ok brother got to hit the hey. Keep at it, check in tomorrow.

Absolutely just take your time and don’t make any decisions on my advice. Check a few others out, my take is you know what bike is for you when you sit on it and it just feels right. Good luck brother can’t wait to see what you get and hit the trails wit ya. 👍🏻

Ok brother. Good luck and let us know how it works out. Feel free to ask any questions.

When you press the start button you should have 12v on the black wire plugged into the start relay there is a black and black and yellow stripe wire. You also have a white wire coming from the battery that goes to the ignition switch and comes out brown. From there it spreads out and goes to the regulator, and a few other places.

And does the engine crank over ?

I have ridden that Polaris 450 HO and it’s a beast, powerful and the independent suspension is awesome.

Ok so here are some important diagrams. I’ve highlighted some stuff you need to look at. What I like to do is print out the main diagram and highlight all the wires with a ruler and different colors so it’s easier to absorb and see where each wire is going. So study it for a while and get acclimated to the system. Any questions, ask away. Start with the testing on the parts first to rule out any bad parts INCLUDING the regulator and only use a test light on the regulator test portion. Everything else you can use a meter. Make sure you have the 12v on the white wire coming off the battery and the start relay has power. Ask as many questions as you need and if you get frustrated walk away for a little while and go have a beer 🍺. Go back at it again later with a clear head.

Ok so I was wrong on the start circuit relay, it’s two blacks one brown and one light green.

Listen, no matter what your capabilities are it’s not rocket science. We have helped so many people that haven’t been able to start a lawnmower and now they are able to do all sorts of things. It’s a matter of isolating the problem. Under the seat you will find two relays. One has two bigger wires on it, one from the battery and one goes to the starter. there is also a smaller plug on that relay and it sends power to the cdi and everything else. That’s the start relay, it has a rubber boot around it and a fuse buried in there. Check that and then start testing each wire for 12 v. The second relay is located in the same place and is round, aluminum and has four wires going to it. Green, white and two black if I can remember. That’s the “starter Circuit” relay. That’s coming from the neutral safety switch that’s located in the engine cover left side by the shifter. It’s a green and red wire that goes into the engine. All that does is allow the starter circuit to work because the neutral safety switch tells it that the bike is in neutral. So if you have the dash/neutral lights on then that relay should be fine. So turn the key on and go to the starter relay and check the fuse and have a tester ready. I’m going to pull the wire diagram and see if we can do some testing and isolate the problem.

Good stuff @Rich1028! That map at the end looks like a treasure map with that hand written cross 👍🏻 Maybe time for a bigger trailer or do an over under with some welding.
