500 Sportsman won't idle
Hello 1der. You might want to check your owners manual. My owners maual for my quad says that the jetting needs to be changed when it is operated below 40 degrees F. It also says how to properly richen the idle mixture when temperatures drop. Hope this helps.

hello,
you might want to check the throttle cable play adjustment. if this is loose, (more than 1/8" play), it can cause it to die. i'm assuming from your post that you can get it to idle with a slight amount of throttle? also, after check the throttle cable play, check your idle screw at the carb, but adjust the t-cable play 1st.

a Sportsman500 in the cold needs a little more gentle warm up time. play with that choke while feathering the throttle until the ATV has warmed-up. then kill the choke and you are ready to go.
i don't know of any SP500 that needs to be re-jetted for winter. no way.
your ETC could be out of adjustment or like others have stated the idle a tad low.
i have found the Sp500 to be VERY cold weather friendly ATVs.
