    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    You can download for free the service manual from this link. "K&T Parts House Lawn Mower Parts and Chain Saw & Trimmer Parts" The procedure to check and adjust the TPS is in there.

    You have a broken wire somewhere in the front harness to the pod. Once you repair it, wrap the harness in spiral wrap like I did and it will save the harness from future problems. Mike

    It sounds like a broken wire from the fuse block to the front harness. 2007 models are known for wiring harness problems. I know, I have repaired both the rear and front harness already. Look at this post http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/arctic-cat-atv-forum/10091-extract-print-arctic-cat-atv-schematics.html This will help if you print out the schematic on several pages so it can be seen better. I would start following with the meter to see if the ignition switch has power to it from the fuse block. The wires that snake up to the handlebars are notorious for breaks. The first picture is the schematic printed on 6 sheets of paper and taped together. This larger print makes it so much better to see the wires and notes. The second is what I had to deal with a few months ago. I blew out about 12 wires in my front harness. Mike

    I can't see why that remote would not work for you. I seriously doubt the wiring is "different" just because its rebranded for Arctic Cat. This listing shows it is compatible. High Lifter Products - WARN Wireless Control/Remote Upgrade Kit I attached a diagram of the winch, so it will help with tracing the wires out. I also found a PDF of installing the wireless control, Looks real easy and should work with the Arctic Cat version. MAYBE the wire colors differ then the diagram, but I doubt it. I see no reason why it won't work, all it does is the same as the rocker switch, only remotely. Mike Warn Winch diagram.pdf Warn Wireless control installation.pdf

    First I would verify that power is reaching the starter, take a screwdriver and touch both larger terminals of the starter solenoid being very careful not to let it touch any metal on the quad. This will bypass it. If you still get nothing then you need a meter to verify that you have 12 volts on one side of the solenoid, then when you press the starter button, it should show on the other side. If that checks out, then there could be a broken wire between that and the starter itself. I would also verify the ground side of the starter is also securely connected as well. If you do notice a drop in voltage (say under 10 volts) when you press the starter button, that means the battery is too weak to turn it over. You can use a vehicle to jump start the quad but ABSOLUTELY do not have the vehicle running when you do this. The output from a vehicle's alternator will fry the battery in the quad. If you show no voltage at the solenoid at all, then you need to check the thicker cable from it back to the battery. Mike

    Also known as "CRS" Can't remember sh!t

    This is what some of our local trails look like. :sifonec: And, yes, we do go through bearings and bushings. Mike

    Looks like some nice trails. Mike

    Hopefully your harness won't look like mine did ! Yes, Cats are known for wiring problems. This was the third wiring problem with this machine. Mike
  20. mikeexplorer
    Look under your left front wheel well and the VIN should be on the main part of the frame. Mike
  21. mikeexplorer
    For that issue I would check the front harness where it crosses over the support. I had to do a major repair of 12 fried wires in that section and that was one of my issues is it would do nothing unless I had the key in headlight position. Mike

    It is a good run, lot of woods riding and technical. Mike

    Annual poker run is on! Always a great ride for a good cause! :partyc:
