I have a 700 sportsman. It starts and runs great till it hit 190 on temp gage then it will not rev up.
Has any one had this happen? It is snowing here like mad and i need it to move all the snow HELP! JOEZ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

check and make sure it has enough antifreeze in it. had the same problem with my scrambler 500 put antifreeze in it and it works fine.

 

is your fuel geling.. whats it do ????

 

It acts like its on the rev limiter but its at idle. I am going to check the coolant to see if it low
fuel is good

 

what happens if you push in the reverse over ride button... just a thought

 

Not a thing, and it is full of coolant.

 

if its running good and has all of its power, idle to full throttle until it heats up then the carb sounds good. maybe valves need too tight and need adjusting. just a thought.

 

may be a faulty coolant temp senser, on fuel injected car the coolant temp senser can do real funny things..

 

HEY MAN, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THE DEALER TOLD ME THE HEADGASKET WAS BLOWN, WE REPLACED THAT AND IT DID NOT FIX IT. THEN THEY SAID TO COIL WAS BAD, WE REPLACED THAT AND IT DID NOT FIX IT. THEN I TOUCHED TO SPARK PLUG CABLES AND GOT ZAPPED. I THEN REPLACE THE CABLES AND MY 05 700EFI SPORTSMAN HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT SINCE. THIS HAPPENED BACK IN AUGUST OF 2006. GOOD LUCK LET ME KNOW IF THE WIRES WORK

 

SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT
