You will find name brand carburetors have the name casted into the body of the carburetors. Here’s a few images and what to look for.

I looked I responded to it unless i am missing something? It was on the cams ?

Probably can be drilled out at tapped just go slow and lots of oil. I would also stick with a metric bolt and def thread lock when you reassemble.

Yep China carburetors no good. They will get your machine running to about 90% capacity.

Yep the lobes look a little beat up to say the least. I would change the rockers as well. I would also go with the oem cam if the engine is all stock.

That price the seller is asking is the value of the bike according Kelly blue book. Without the plow and winch of course. If the machine is in very good condition and serviced like you said and in deed has a new plow and winch then I would say it’s a good deal.

Good work detective! Dam that sucks, so now what to do ?

I don’t think you have to do anything if your not happy with that answer then run a cylinder honer through it. Amazon $20 bucks. Lightly run it up and down the cylinder walls nothing crazy. You should be fine with that.

Change the regulator/rectifier.

That looks like it falls in the 99-2002 range to me. All the parts were interchangeable for those years. The vin is completely gone ?

Hay James welcome to Quadcrazy. My guess would be that something is not connected the right way. Maybe one of the prongs on a plug has slipped out of the back, possibly a bad connection someplace. Maybe a plug is not connected etc. Check all fuses and grounds as well. You can start by double checking the obvious suspects just to be sure nothing burnt up. Stator coil tests, secondary coil tests and regulator coil tests. Is it possible that the battery was connected the wrong way for a split second ? Have you double checked the ignition switch and kill switch are ok ? If you disconnected the battery prior to the work then there should be no problem. If something got shorted out then it’s good to be a process of elimination.

Let it heal! Plenty of time to ride later. Glad it’s running good, ride safe.

That’s great. Hopefully this is the last bit of what needs to be done and you can get some riding in !

Yes you did. See the listing below, part number 5

The oem battery will work fine. You can upgrade the cranking amps but I don’t think you need to. If you do just check your dimensions of the old battery and compare it to the new. All the batteries show the dimensions. Today’s batteries are a lot better so the oem should be fine. Just go with a name brand and remember you get what you pay for.

That’s great news.

Ok got it now. Yes that’s a tough part to find new. I did see one on eBay but it’s a 97, I looked at the schematic and it looks right but I’m not 100% chances are it’s prob close but the part numbers are different. I would also explore taking that cover you have to a good heli arc welder that can patch that up and grind it into shape. It’s definitely doable. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F362725777685 Any questions you have feel free to ask the members here are full of knowledge.

What is the make Polaris ? Sportsman?

It’s most likely a cv joint on an axle. Easy enough to replace, best way though to be sure is to make a tight turn like a U turn and see if it’s worse. If so then definitely an axle.

It sounds like it’s happening when you hit a certain speed? Especially if it’s heard on a blacktop surface. My guess is that one of the drive shafts has a slight bend in it where you wouldn't feel it until a certain rpm. You may not be able to see that bend. I would inspect all the drive shafts for any marks that may be there. Something along the lines of you hitting a rock or tree trunk while you were riding ? I would also get the front wheels off the ground and spin the tires to see if there’s a bend in the rims and wiggle them as well to check the hubs. Do this for the front and rear.

Nice work, sorry brother been busy with work. Fuel out of the carb sounds like a bad float adjustment or the float is cracked. Keep up with the progress!

👍🏻 Good luck, let us know how you make out.

Ok quick test, each of the three wires coming from the stator. Test each wire one at a time, one wire to the ground on the atv with the tester. So, test lead to one wire and the other test lead to a good ground. If you get a beep or any ohm reading then the stator is shorted. Do that with all three wires one at a time and see what you get. Second test is go from wire to wire and see what reading you get as well. You should get a number reading from wire to wire and they should all be in the same range.

You can do some simple testing on the stator coil of your familiar with an electrical tester ?
