    What dealer is this and where is it located?

    Since it has a lot of inside space, we have used a buddy heater to keep warm. I have a hose that runs out to the 20 pound tank on the trailer. I have the quality unit, has a tip over sensor and low oxygen sensor. We camped when it dropped into the upper 20's and was warm with it on low. I just kept one window open a bit for air. This weekend it will be the opposite, HOT. I am rigging up air conditioning and will see how that works out. Mike

    Ive been told by my dealer if the machine is new, or had a top end done, to run regular oil in it for about 300 miles then change it over to synthetic. This allows the rings and such to seat properly. Running synthetic from the start is not a good idea.

    It will no doubt have some impact on online sales but nowadays a lot of stuff is only available online. Electronic parts is one I do a lot of online shopping for because there are no stores near me anymore. The one store that was about an hour away cut back on inventory so it forces me to look online.

    Could be the carb sucked in some of the dust and clogged the jets. I would remove and clean the carb. Mike

    The mid sized ones typically are rebrands. Unless Textron changed that when they took over. I have a 2010 366 and 2017 400 both have been good machines

    What you need to do is verify first that you do indeed have voltage at the ignition, the red wire. Next, turn ignition on and verify voltage at the red/black wire, next step is to check voltage at the 10 amp ignition fuse. If this passes, check the ground connections, measure voltage from battery to frame. 2007 Cats were common for having wire breaks in the harness. I had a 2007 400 and had several harness issues. There is a post on how to take this diagram and print it out on several sheets of paper to make one big diagram. Mike

    Here is the diagram, if you turn the key to lights, does the lights come on? Mike

    This is the closest manual I could find, its for the 2005 models which should be close enough https://support.countrycat.com/posts/2804699-2005-youth-atv-service-manual

    Sounds like you got the problem

    A club ride, This club I am a member of but they are 3 hours away from me so I rarely get to ride with them

    I would suspect a broken wire in the front harness , check around the steering column first. 07 cats are known for this and I had an 07 that had harness issues. Once repaired I was good. Use a meter and verify you have voltage at the ignition switch Mike

    Went to Potter County, PA and stayed at the campground. You can ride your ATV right from your site to the trails or to the roads. Rode 311 miles and went through three counties and even rode into New York. Weather was good too. Mike

    Good information about the cart and that it has held up for years

    If it is a 650 the manual is here: http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Arctic-Cat-ATV-Repair-and-Service-Manuals/Arctic-Cat-2004-650-Service-Manual/ Mike

    check the connection to the pod, clean with electrical contact cleaner. if that doesn't work, leave your battery disconnected overnight then try it, sometimes resets the pod

    I would have your battery load tested to be sure its good, I would also check your ground connections, the heavy draw of the started might be dropping the voltage causing the weak spark. corroded ground connections would cause this

    Is it a DVX ?

    I just noticed you do have the make and year in the title. Service manual is here: http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Arctic-Cat-ATV-Repair-and-Service-Manuals/arctic_cat_2010_400_TRV_550_FIS_TRV_650_700_FIS_TBX_TRV_1000_thundercat_TRV_CRUISER_MUD_PRO_service_manual.pdf

    Third picture you posted is the cover for the CVT. You can download a free service manual which has all the specs and guides in it for free at countrycat.com , look under technical section. You will need the year and model to download the correct manual. My pictures are from a 2010 366, similar design, only difference will be the part number for the belt. I replaced this belt because of the cracks on the inside of it. Width was still good, and no glazing on the sides. If this is slipping, you would hear it squealing, if your not hearing a squeal, I suspect you have the wrong oil in the quad and its your wet clutches slipping. If your not sure of what oil you used, change it out to the right stuff. Mike

    We need the year and model of the machine. In general they are a CVT transmission with a wet clutch. If the belt is slipping you would probably hear a squealing noise. If it feels like its slipping with no noise, it could be the wet clutch shoes, most likely cause is using oil that is not wet clutch certified. You have to use the right oil in these machines. If you use regular engine oil, it contains friction modifiers that will cause the wet clutch to slip and burn up eventually. Mike

    Nice, glad to see you got it running

    What happens when you try in 2wd mode? does it feel like it wants to move or do anything? Look down at the rear driveshaft, is it turning? Mike
