    yea i did the same except i went to the dealer to find part number and then found the part on ebay. turned out to be the same cost but oh well.. was $35 something...
  2. JacobSlabach
    ok so did a little digging found that the two cylinders have names (mag and pto) and that the mag cylinder is in the front and the pto cylinder in the back so i needed a mag cylinder ignition wire. after looking on polaris' parts diagrams i found the specific part number and then on to ebay searched 'polaris scrambler 4014007' and boom there is was for under $20. so maybe could we get a moderator (@Ajmboy ) to change the title of this forum to something like 'Polaris Scrambler PTO vs MAG ignition wires' or something? i think that would help out other ignorant folks like me and save them some trouble if theyre searching on the web for a similar issue. To wrap it up on a parallel twin atv like a scrambler or sportsman 850 or 1k, the PTO cylinder is in the rear and the MAG cylinder is in the front. could never find it written that plainly lol had to hinda guess and do a lot of digging

    okay so what should i look for and where should i look for it?

    Hey so i sold my 04 rubicon and wanted something new so i went to NC and bought a '13 scrambler 850XP LE EPS. love it the only issues with it when i bought it were a leak in the front tire and the mice had chewed through one of the spark plug wires. currently have a substitute hooking the chewed end to the ignition coil so itll run on both cylinders however im having an issue finding a replacement coil wire for it and was wondering if yall had any advice. i need the longer of the two coil wires and i can only find the shorter one online. will throw up some pics of it when i can
  5. JacobSlabach
    was just searching through for any scrambler 850 info and saw this- the picture above is actually a sportsman 1k, not a scrambler.. for anyone who isnt familiar with the models so they arnt confused
  6. JacobSlabach
    he out here repping polaris lol sweet rides man love both of them
  7. JacobSlabach
    yea drums arnt for mud thats for sure- i took the Rubicon thru a pond and lost the rear brake pads- about a quart of water got in the drum and the glue that holds the pads to the shoes let go. Found out i had no brakes when i was cruising down a hill with a sharp curve at the bottom into the woods. so thanks honda lol i almost flipped it. ended up missing the turn and careening into the woods on two wheels lol

    sold this bike a couple weeks back wanted to update thread.. folks that bought it from me thought it was the greatest thing lol
  9. JacobSlabach
    someone lost some $$$ there.. those dirtbikes and that scrambler to the left of the honda arnt cheap question: what excatly does impound mean like they take ur quad then u have to buy it back? or is it like getting ur car towed if you parked in the wrong place or what? dont have any personal experience with any of this lol

    so great idea@MarkinAR , heat worked great and the studs popped out with just minor beating. held the soldering torch on the stud for a minute or so until the backside of the stud started smoking then cut off the torch and gave it a good pop with the 4 pound sledge and most popped out 2nd or 3rd hit.
  11. JacobSlabach
    thats an option. will give it a try
  12. JacobSlabach
    yea but the studs is not what i need- i need the hubs for the kit without the studs in them
  13. JacobSlabach
    my issue is getting the old studs out of the hub. i tried putting it in a vise and pressing them out and beating the crap out of them with a hammer should i get a shop press and if so where?
  14. JacobSlabach
    hey so never ran into this before but i recently got a 04 honda rubicon 500. bought it from my doctor not running and the front brakes were locked up. cleaned the carb and it fired right up and runs great. these model atvs have drum brakes front and rear. not a fan. lost all brakes on this one when i hit some water and it got inside the rear drum case. so i ordered new shoes for the rear end no biggie. front is more complicated. has hydraulic drum brakes not sure who thought that was a good idea but the pistons in the drums rusted and locked up from it sitting with moisture in the drums. so i had a choice to make- 1. buy new brake pistons ($120 for a set of 4) or 2. order super atv's disc brake conversion kit for $250. i HATE drum brakes so i went with the conversion kit. it said it was easy to install with no specialty tools. so i order it and turns out i have to press the studs out of my hubs to get the disc on. anyone ever done this and if so how?
  15. JacobSlabach
    funny story happened last week- me and a buddy were ripping down a back road on my honda rubicon when the front wheel fell off lol. didnt wreck just ran in the ditch with sparks flying. wheel almost rolled down the mountain but a tree caught it. happened do to me not putting in a cotter pin in the nut that holds the hub against the axle.
  16. JacobSlabach
    i use valvaline 10w-40 like@Ajmboy. i like it and it seems to hold up well. i changed it out in my sportsman 500 and idk how but just changing the oil gave me an extra 700rpm on the top speed i think it was. went from topping at 6500rpm to 7200rpm lol as for seat covers thanks @Ajmboy also for the tips. so far the seats on my newer atvs have been in good condition and the older ones wernt worth more than a duct tape fix lol but i just got a rubicon thats in dire need of a new seat cover and id rather not make it look like a roll off dumpster with a duct tape seat
  17. JacobSlabach
    oh that could be a problem- i would check over all the parts in your rearend and be sure nothing is tampered with that could have caused the atv to blow itself agian. as for the clip i order most of my parts off amazon and most of the time if im looking for a specific part and have the part number i will simply search the make and model of the atv followed by the part number and 90% of the time can easily find the exact part for my atv regardless of make or model. the only times i have trouble finding parts is on these little knock-off chinese atvs that they sell nowdays but yours is a well-known make and model- you should have no trouble finding what you need on amazon or ebay or the sight you have used.
  18. JacobSlabach
    check compression, timing and valve lash- those can contribute to your symptoms. i agree with@MarkinAR , cant be electric related or it would not fire period. had you tried cleaning your old carb before you bought a new one? the choke is another thing id check- if its stuck open, itll flood the motor enough to not run
  19. JacobSlabach
    what part(s) from the rearend were you looking for? and what went wrong with it? also these old suzuki 500s are solid so dont give up on it
  20. JacobSlabach
    oof have fun with that i hate drum brakes they suck on atvs
  21. JacobSlabach
    these are fun little quads- ive owned two chinese atvs and 4 other small atvs. awesome to rip around on and even it you do turn it over it wont kill you lol. id check the oil and if you mesure the opening on your carb, you can usually find one of amazon that has a matching opening size. if you got water in your carb, it could have possibly worked down into the motor and then into the oil.
  22. JacobSlabach
    But it’s up and running good now. Upgraded it a little since then too received_119527162754816_1.mp4
  23. JacobSlabach
    Great advice and that’s actually exactly what I did. Found out the reason the boot popped was because the boots were too wide and rubbed on the hub. Just rubbed until they got a hairline crack all around and started to leak. (The other lower boot started leaking too for the same reason)
  24. JacobSlabach
    I’ve lost $3500 to a scam when I was 13. Same deal as@Ajmboy came across. So yes, if it’s too good to be true, than it isn’t. Never ever send any money for any reason thru money gram or Walmart transfer or by taking pictures of eBay gift card and sending them to anyone. Always buy in person. No handshake, no deal is my rule.

    i have yet to wreck an atv.. ive come up on two wheels a number of times and ended up in the ditch in AL when spinning some donuts on the old sportsman 500 but never turned one over or hit something. i have almost flipped my lifted 570 hitting a ditch in a felid going about 40mph- had a trailer on it which kept the back end down. i did flip riding mower going up a hill and just recently broke my collarbone jumping a road scooter with a flat front tire. as for fire, ive done a lotta stupid stuff with fire but havnt caught anything i didnt want to on fire. ive drove an atv through a fire but thats about it. funny thing is my parents said id wreck an atv first, but the only times ive got hurt was on homemade things (was building the mower into a racing mower and had broke the seat off the scooter so i have to stand up on the pegs while riding it)
