  2. That's exactly what Id do: I use my old mobile phone which has more CPU power and a better screen than consumer GPS devices (and it is cheaper). The Can-Am I own has a 12 volt connector right next to the steering and I have a mount on the left handle bar. The phone doesn't need any paid service contract, it is in offline mode, only using GPS for maps. Then using whatever app you have decided on, load the MN DNR GPS tagged PDF map and go riding. The only additional option I have researched is a really nice external GPS antenna that is bluetooth connected called xGPS. It can be mounted or even used as an armband and it has a 65-channel SkyTraq GPS chipset. This is the cheapest unit: https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Electronics-XGPS150A-Multipurpose-Augmentation/dp/B006M49G80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514220807&sr=8-1&keywords=xgps The next model up can support 5 devices at once... kind of cool. Tempting.
  3. I'll have to take a look at that app. I tried Gaia which has good reviews, but I was disappointed with the maps for a paid app. When I am riding I want to have a clear map with POIs for the surrounding area and clear ATV trail lines that are accurate. With Gaia you can overlay multiple maps over the DNR trail maps which is nice. I am still not sure what he best solution is here. It appears that Garmin owns this market. Does anyone have a screenshot of how the MN DNR ATV trails look on a Garmin? Curious.
  4. Try all the fuel related things: inline fuel filter, fuel tank and the fuel pump.
  5. I was looking at the MN DNR website and trying to find some better maps and information as well. You can download PDF maps from the DNR site and use them with Avenza maps app. It's free, you just need to create an account. Here is an iPhone link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/avenza-maps/id388424049?mt=8 I use my old iPhone for this on my Can-Am with a USB charger attachment that plugs into the lighter socket. Most folks have a couple of phones in a drawer these days... The app will load the map and then you can use the GPS functions (offline with no phone signal needed) to navigate and it will also plot the path you have ridden. Here is the MN DNR page: http://dnr.state.mn.us/mobile/geopdf/index.html Hope this helps.
  6. Solution: The fuel pump was failing.
  7. I need to know the vacuum lines connections for the bottom of the carburetor... ALL of them really. They are not in the shop manual and I can not find an image googling. :( If you have a picture of how these connect on a Can-AMATV please reply. THANKS!
  8. The original carb and the new carb don't have any connections at the bottom. (see picture of original carb) I think this may be the issue... I see some pictures where a new, stock carb has a brass screw in the throttle side of the carb next to the pilot screw. I don;t know if this applies to the can-am carb or not.The problem is I have never seen these connected, so I don't know the correct setup. I can't find an image or drawing showing any hoses connected to the bottom of the carb. Anyone got a picture of this from the bottom?
  9. Everything is the same now as when I started. I can start the engine this morning, but again the choke does not have any affect and it won't idle and runs rough. This is the exact same symptoms that I started with a week ago. So if my logic is correct. The original carb was fine. Perhaps it needed some minor adjustment but it was very close to where I am now. I haven't found any loose wires or corroded connectors. I am not sure what to do next? I really do not want to try re-adjusting the carburetor again. Perhaps this is required, but I'd like an expert to chime in on this if I can find one. I would appreciate it.
  10. Thanks. I am going to take another look at all the wires. That could explain some of the sudden issues after it appeared to be working (mostly). I am confident the green hose is just supposed to hang in place now... I found another drawing that shows it does NOT connect to anything at the base of the carb. See picture. I am going to assume the cap on the other side should be in place since it appears to be a black rubber cap like all the others. I'd really like to end this today with some good news so I can go riding with my 10 year old daughter soon.
  11. So I literally flipped through my 2002 Quest shop manual and reviewed all the diagrams and pictures. On pages 04-0205, 04-02-1 & 2 there are some details that show the hose attached from the throttle side and going over the carb and down by the fuel intake line. There is no connector there between this vacuum hose and the fuel line, so I guess it just hangs in this location. See green line in images. If you have a picture of this and looks different please post it. thanks!
  12. Anyone got some detailed pictures of the 2002 quest 650 carb from the top and sides showing all the hose connections?
  13. I thought perhaps I found something. The hose at the rear of the air box was not seated well. I fixed that. I did notice the hose on the throttle side of the carb that just dangles there. Is this supposed to connect somewhere? It doesn't appear to connect to the air box for example. See green arrow in picture.
  14. Perhaps a vacuum issue. The rest doesn't seem to apply since the carb is new, clean and I have a new fuel filter in place. It was running earlier with choke and idling and now it won't start. This happened after I attempted run it in gear.
  15. NOPE. FAIL. GAME OVER! I decided since it was idling for some time and it was warm that I should try to shift it into gear (nicely) and verify that it would stay running. It stopped running immediately after putting it in gear. So then I tried to reduce the choke a bit and give it a bit more gas after engaging either forward or reverse. It dies each time. Now I can't get it to start at all. I checked the plug and it was very foul and black. This may be from when I have been adjusting the carb from lean to rich. So I changed the plug and it will not start. FRACK. Part of this may be the CVT is still engaging perhaps? I think I have it set quite well... If this is true and the CVT is engaging at a low idle (improperly), do I then need to have the clutch looked at?
  16. I have some good news! I got the carb dialed in and then adjusted the idle. The choke has to be on to keep it idling by itself. A question about the choke. I have the shop manual and it states that you can adjust the cable tension just below the choke knob area so that it stays in place. I think this is complete BS. There is a small black plastic nut that you can tighten but it seems to make no difference in whether or no the choke pull will stay up (fully choked). The choke always pulls back down to not choked. Has anyone figured out a good method to adjust this or mod it to work correctly? Using a small pair of vice grips to hold the choke seems pretty crappy.
  17. Yeah, it's all stock. The fuel lines look good. The fuel is non-oxy premium. Fuel is clean. I replaced the fuel filter. No leaks in the fuel lines or carb air connectors that I can see or hear.
  18. I spent 4+ hours trying to adjust the pilot screw in order to get the machine to start better and run at idle. No improvement. I had it close once and made a very slight adjustment and never got it close again. So I tried to turn it back to factory settings and follow the shop manual guidelines: Can_am shop manual states warm up engine turn clockwise until engine misses or decreases idle speed turn counter-clockwise until engine misses or decreases idle speed center screw between these two settings unscrew 3/4 of a turn If idle speed changes after this adjustment, readjust idle speed screw. Nothing.
  19. I think I need to investigate the carburetor pilot screw or adjust the pin up.down 1 notch? I need to get it running properly and at the correct idle RPMs. Currently, if you try to shift the CVT is engaged because I always have to keep the idle a bit high and then it moves into gear abruptly.
  20. Perhaps this is a dead end. The wiring diagram that I found online shows the same wiring to both a metal crimp type connector and the yellow plastic type connector in the top image.
  21. The bottom image is the Oil Pressure switch from what I have found. The yellow connector in the top image is the one I need to figure out which is on the same wiring harness. thanks
  22. I own a 2002 Can-Am Quest 650. It will start if you massage the throttle a bit and it will continue to run. BUT if you let go of the throttle and try to let it idle it will always die warm or cold. It has Non-Oxy premium gas, a new gapped NGK plug, a new carb (as of today) and fresh fluids. After installing the new carb it runs exactly the same. I only have a few things that I have observed since the new carb: The choke still doesn't do anything. It has a good cable and it is hooked up. It on fully off. There is a cable in the top, front of the engine that splits into two connectors. The connected side is in the photo. The other side has the yellow banded section and is not connected. I do not see anything in range of this connector so I don't know if this is normal or not??? The original carb wasn't really dirty or clogged. I'll use it as a spare. I don't see this cable and connectors listed in the Can-Am shop manual. Looking for some help. I want to ride!
