atv stalled in water
I have a 01 sportsman 500ho I went threw some water deeper then I thought.
Was deep a nuff where muffler was under water my atv stalled then took me 10 15 min to get running after was out of the water.
another 1hr letting run before it would move.
Why did it stall I can member I had my atv way in water up to my seat never did this.

Also, you want to be careful about starting a quad that is stalled in deep water. If water gets into the cylinder and you try to start it the engine can get destroyed. It's best to take out the spark plug and then crank it to push out any water in the cylinder. If your belt is wet there is a procedure in the owner's manual. Shift the transmission to neutral. Using the throttle, vary the engine RPM from idle to full throttle. Repeat several times as required. During this procedure, the throttle should not be held at the full position for more than 10 seconds. Clutch seals should be inspected for damage if repeated leaking occurs.

Also check your fluids to see if any water got into the transmission, oil, or gear boxes. If you see a milky color chances are water got in. Change them out if they got water. There's a screw or bolt head on the bottom of the muffler. You can take that off and park the quad on an incline to get the water out if it is in there.

Yes it is, Hard core mud runners at High Lifter even remove the pull start and JB weld the hole closed.
There lots of Polaris Stator problem posts, its not that Polaris has bad stators but more that they can only handle so many swims. Same with the Bendix drive.
