It’s just a piece of 1/2” fuel line about 5/8”-3/4” long.

@@ArcticFrost will try that! Thanks

Sounds like the carb could be dirty cutting it out. Try cleaning it out with carb cleaner and compressed air to make sure it’s clean.

@@ArcticFrost Thanks!, hopefully that works

Rough idle, runs rough, atv dies out, won’t stay running, etc… basically not getting the fuel it needs and it will cut out on you.

@@ArcticFrost I put a new fuel pump change the air filter the coils and wire and plug and it's still the same sing and does not idle rough and for the record mine is a Polaris sportsman 450ho efi 2017

That normally is the diode in backwards. You could check the start in gear relay in the fuse box. Or give your carb a thorough clean with cleaner and compressed air. Or could be needing the valves adjusted.

@@ArcticFrost got it. Is it worth replacing the diodes? Mine has three and they’re all facing the same direction. Whats the best way to check the start in gear relay? Carb has been cleaned. Idles and revs well in neutral/low range. Valves is an interesting take.

You can test the diodes with a multimeter on the diode setting and it should read 0.5-0.7 DC. To test the SIG relay all the relays are the same so you can swap them around to see if one isn’t working. I mentioned valves and should include timing because I had one that the timing was off by one tooth and would idle and drove fine at low speed but would cut out at higher rpms. If the valves were off you would get cut out on higher rpms too but it may just be a relay or diode.

Cool, glad it helped!

Glad it helped!

I know a lot of people probably don’t but I use mine. Every once in a while you need a little extra traction.

Sounds like a connection is loose somewhere. ruclips.net/video/3D6tw8svGYo/видео.htmlsi=qYf6UHI4Nix1V_IF

Largest you could go is 27” without doing clutch work. Could fit 32” if you do clutch work, axles, probably a programmer and exhaust. Kind of depends on how much you want to keep modding it.

@@ArcticFrost Thank you for that advice! I think 27” will be a sufficient enough upgrade for my purposes. Excellent channel you have btw🤙

@@hunterthelord let’s go! 😎

That one is for the previous models of 550 and 700.

Are you getting spark? Make sure you're getting voltage.

@@ArcticFrost yes getting good spark and the fuel psi is good too.

@@tinyfarm2757 could be the valves need adjustment, air filter is dirty, or it’s not getting the proper fuel pressure.

Normally it’s best to stick with OEM carbs. Clean it out with carb cleaner and compressed air to make sure the passages are clear. Those aftermarket carburetors always seem to give issues.

What is the battery voltage?

@@ArcticFrost 12 + volts.

@@ArcticFrost i have lots of juice in the battery, i even tried jumping the selenoid. Nothing ..

Check up the wiring harness. Sounds like there might be a short somewhere. Also, could get your battery load tested. Even if it shows voltage it might not have the amperage.

Sounds like the battery is dead. You can get it load tested to confirm at your local auto parts store but you’ll probably need a new battery.

Glad they help.

Does it show E for any gear position it’s in?

@@ArcticFrost yes yes, but E shows gear position H, L, N, R does not show these letters but only E shows what could be the problem

@@ArcticFrost pls replye

@@donatahmeti5796 check the wiring to your gear position sensor, there could be a bad ground or connector is loose.

@@ArcticFrost

Not yet

They are the same, yes. 👍🏼

Probably needs a good cleaning. Might check the coil wire too. One of mine was starting to corrode on the end. ruclips.net/video/ZehqLGrywhs/видео.htmlsi=Goa-m2gzRrFu0BGo

There is tape you can get with the insulation backing but since I had the original backing on the fender I just added the aluminum heat reflective tape. Great for keeping the heat down for summer riding. ☀️

I really like them, great for keeping the brush off 👌🏼

Lol, all drag races? No trail riding?

Have you managed to delete the code? We don't have a "reverse override button" either, instead we have a horn. :(

They’ve held up great in the last four years, I normally use the low setting in winter, high is too hot unless you need to warm up quickly.

@@ArcticFrost thank you would you recommend buying them I like how the switch was done and how they're one of the cheaper ones

They’ve been great. I’d get them again if I were to put them on another ATV.

@@ArcticFrost okay thank you

Glad it helped! 👍🏼

What model are you working on?

@@ArcticFrost 2011 model

Do you have a new plug in it? To get a better connection you can trim the coil wire back a little. If the wire is damaged or corroded too bad a new one should work.

Yep, one of the best ways to tighten up the suspension. Installing UHMW Bushings: ruclips.net/video/dT2o1rKiNYg/видео.html

@@ArcticFrost thank you! New subscriber here and went down the rabbit hole watching tons of your vids. Great stuff !!

@@ArcticFrost shoot looks like RTR stopped making these

I don’t know if you messaged him on the forums he might have a set left. Thanks for following along!

@@ArcticFrost I’ll check! Mostly need them for the rears. The squeak is unbearable 😂

Yes, that will happen if the one way is bad. It’ll catch on the clutch and cause it to stall out.

Lol! That’s what they want you to think

Glad it helped, Thanks for watching!

Yeah, you’ll just look for clutch kits for the 500 model.

@@ArcticFrost okay. I just haven't been able to find it anywhere yet. Thanks

@@ArcticFrost Hey there Arctic Frost, can you please help me again? I've been doing research and reading a host of different opinions on increasing tire size on stock rims. Could I actually go from 25" tires to 27" without having to change the clutching and it wouldn't be a big problem regarding performance? I'm hearing that you can go up 1 to 2 inches bigger, but anything beyond is questionable. Is this true and what's your honest opinion how much bigger I could go up in tire size on my 2016 AC 500 alterra XL with the 25×8×12 & 25×10×12 without changing the clutching?

You can go up 1 or 2 inches without losing too much power. But if you are looking at getting a more aggressive tread that will add weight with the bigger size so you will lose power and speed. Mud tires are a lot heavier with their thick tread and some all terrain tires will have more tread or thicker side walls that can add weight.

@@ArcticFrost That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Especially about the all terrain tires, because I'm mostly driving on pavement and hard pack dirt and gravel roads. Thank you so much 🙏💪

You can add an inline filter to the fuel line. But yes, the filter is in the tank.

Some of the things I’ve seen for a while but time to get it in top shape. 👍🏼

Glad it helped, love riding the Alterras! 😎

LEDs shouldn’t change anything, might check your sensor to see if it’s damaged or the connection is loose then take it for a test drive.

The manual says every 2k but I would change it out every 1000.

Thanks. I’m guessing over time of changing and checking plugs it got ripped. Good to check on things every once in a while to keep it running good.

Sounds like it’s getting too much gas if it’s coming out the exhaust gasket and flooding it.

no way it could be a valve issue?

You could check the valves. Sounds like it’s getting too much gas. Does it fire?

@@ArcticFrost gotta really give it the gas and it will spurrer and like choke itself out, 3 carbs, all new for the 500 ho. thought it was stuck needle and seat, but all 3 have gas running out the exhaust donut. Going to take the valve cover off and see if the valves are moving, any ideas? The cam looks good, and rockers.

Double check your valves if they are off ruclips.net/video/0fV_aphDHqM/видео.html

You could check the ignition coil but it sounds like there’s bad connection or the idle is off.

On your model when you have codes it should display them on the screen. The copper wire method or diagnostic plug is for the older models before 2013.

@@ArcticFrost Ok thank you. Two more questions: (preface to first question)- How do you work the display so it shows any codes the computer may be detecting problems that should be addressed? Because the owner manual doesn't explain how to. It only shows you how to open and enter the diagnostic screen where you can see the battery voltage, coolant temperature, intake, air pressure, speed, rpm, etc. 2nd question: Is there a special electronic tool or part that I'm required to purchase in order to view troubleshooting codes?

On your 2016 500 If an EFI or component fails or an out-of-tolerance signal is detected by the ECM it will display a code on the display until it the issue is corrected. If no codes are showing then it’s either not detecting an issue or there’s no issue.

@@ArcticFrost That's good to know 😁👍

Yes, there should be a quiet whirring sound from the pump. No noise could mean it’s not getting power or not running at all.

Everything is pretty simple to do on Arctic Cats. 👍🏼 The 75-140 is good for towing and off-road use. You should be fine running it in your diff, I’ll probably run that next time I change mine.

I try to share them in the description when I can. You can also find them at countrycat or if you know the part number you can search ebay or amazon.

​@@ArcticFrostokay great. Yeah I was wondering about countrycat regarding whether they were reputable or not. Thanks!
