    The sticky posts above have a link where you can download the wiring diagrams for free. You will see a small draw because the pod needs it to maintain the clock. Mike

    Something is preventing the float needle from closing off. Could be a bit of debris inside

    Try disconnecting the battery overnight, then before connecting them back to the battery, touch them together. That will reset the pod.

    I use the Garmin Oregon 450t which allows loading custom maps into it. Mine came with the US 100K topo maps already installed (hence the "t") Mike

    Thanks much for ur reply. Couple questions: 1) how do I know if my atv is a 400 act or 400 fis? FIS is "Fully Independent Suspension" if you have cv joints and two springs in the rear, it is an FIS model. 2) how do I test functionality of auto choke electricly? Everything else is working as it should. It is not an electrical part, the warming of the engine shuts it off. 3) would it damage the carb/engine if I sprayed (sparingly) BG carb cleaner in the air intake as a last ditch effort before overhauling/replacing carb. I have already put a few oz of seafoam in the gas tank which actually did help a little bit? Try a stronger dose of Seafoam, it may clear the problem up. I have done this with good results. I also add a dash of Seafoam every other tankful. 4) any info on removing front axles from differential as noted in 1st post in this thread ? Here is a step by step guide with pictures. I used this guide myself CV Boot replacement with pics - ArcticChat.com - Arctic Cat Forum Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would use the gift card to help repair the damage caused by this roll. I guess Cats don't always land on their paws. Mike

    Yeah got that one too, I am sure its too good to be true :roflc:

    I cannot directly post the schematic because the file is too big. To reduce it to attach it would make it unreadable. Instead you can get the schematic and print it out here with this procedure. http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/arctic-cat-atv-forum/10091-extract-print-arctic-cat-atv-schematics.html From looking at the schematic. and if I understand what you mean, the quad will shut right off once the starter button is released? This would also mean your cranking the starter continuously. (not a good thing to do) I would check a few things. - Make sure the ground wires are secure and making good contact - Check the "neutral relay" it may be defective. - There is a diode that might also be bad, used as part of the starter circuit. - Check fuse #6 (accessory) Mike

    The high current leads go directly to the battery for the winch. You should have two cables on each terminal. They will lead down to the direction relay that controls the winch's direction. Attached is the wiring diagram for a typical warn winch. Mike

    I am sure it will be purring like a kitten

    Sounds like a good price for the work being done. You should be in good shape after that. Should have many trouble free miles.

    I have not worked on EFI machines (both my Cats are carb'ed) but did you check the fuel pump to make sure its working properly? That is my only guess (suggestion) Mike
  17. mikeexplorer
    Sorry not a record, my 2007 400 hit 11,000 miles this past November. Hopefully when the valve is fixed you will be back up & running. Mike

    If your plowing fluffy snow, the intake may have sucked in some snow. I would also check the intake for snow obstructions, the tires can sometime sling snow to the underside and that is where the intake is. Mike

    2007 models are known to have wiring problems. I know as I have rebuilt both the front and rear wiring harness. You can save yourself some future grief if you take the plastics off and cover the harness with some spiral wrap. The first picture is when I blew out my front harness, fried 12 wires. Mike

    Parts should not be a problem, I did a quick lookup on Country Cats site and they have all the parts listed for the machine. Arctic Cats did use both Suzuki and Kawasaki motors. Mike
  21. mikeexplorer
    Country Cats website does have the parts breakdown for that model and it shows it is a gravity fed system and not a fuel pump. You should have an on/off/reserve fuel valve along the side. Maybe the tank isn't venting properly, next time it dies out like your planning to add gas, open the tank, but don't add an fuel, then try starting it. If the vent is plugged, you will be creating a vacuum in the tank after some gas is used up and it won't allow anymore to flow. Opening it up to fill it releases the vacuum. Mike

    Yes the 450 is the full sized chassis. The mid sized ones are the 366 and 425i. I have both types, my girl rides the 366. I am 5'6" and 220lbs and I do tend to like the larger frame quad. (though the 366 is a nice riding machine) Mike
  23. mikeexplorer
    Yes the 366 is air cooled. I didn't realize the 425 is liquid cooled. However, the way my girl likes to hit the water holes, I might as well say its liquid cooled :roflc: I have had the front plastics off the 366, not that hard to do but that seems a bit extreme to just change out the air filter.
  24. mikeexplorer
    I think yours is basically the same as the 366 model, does the lid to the air filter look like the picture? It is a bit of a pain to change it out. What I do is use a 1/4 inch socket to loosen the clamp from the air filter top to the intake snorkle. Then disconnect it from the air box. Then I pop off the three clamps (of course one is behind the unit which is real fun to get to) Then it should come out without too much trouble. You shouldn't have to disconnect the other side or take the wheel off. I turn the wheels hard left before starting and that helps. You have to work around the air deflection shield but it has enough give to it to allow slipping off the air box top. Mike

    What do you mean "bypass" it? which wire are you bypassing and what are you doing? Supplying power to a lead for the pump? A quick check of the schematic I would look at #14 to see if that is reading properly (12 ohms) I would also clean the connection to the CDI box, it feeds a signal out to the pump and it may not be getting that signal. Also check #13, maybe the fuel level sensor isn't working. Mike
