    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

    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

    I have seen a lot of nice views myself

    Went to Vermont for the weekend, the views from the mountain are great.

    Go to countrycat.com and look for the technical section. You can download the service manual for free. Alternate location which includes wiring diagrams here: http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Arctic-Cat-ATV-Repair-and-Service-Manuals/ Mike

    You can slide the whole tent out and flip the gates vertical to use as a utility trailer. Mike

    That smell is the gas has gone bad, you will probably have to clean your carb now. Mike

    All the accessories are discounted as well that would be a good deal. The unit I bought was a 1 year leftover but new. I do know the warranty is from time of sale, not manufacture. I don't understand why they are not more popular. I have friends who travel west to hunt and they see them all over the place. Its a unique way to camp and a great way to haul machines without needing a ton of towing power like a toy hauler. Mike

    A VIN number should be stamped on the frame somewhere

    Just a note, there are not many dealers on the east cost, when I was looking for one, I had contacted Jumping Jack and they could bring one to a nearby dealer (about 20 miles from me) for $700. Then I lucked out and found the unit in Maryland. He discounted it enough it was worth the road trip to get it. ( 4 hour trip)

    When I heard of the merger I pulled the trigger and replaced my girls quad with a 2017 Alterra. We kept her 2010 366 is a backup machine. I wanted to see what would happen after the merger. So far they are doing good. My local dealer has sold more machines because they changed the pricing to make them more competitive. That 2017 Alterra 400 I got for $4500, thats hard to beat (and that is not a sale price) They are keeping the plant open and I heard they plan to expand it, so that is a good thing, I hear they want to produce more engines from the facility.
