    Hello, this in Andy let me ask you a question, When was the last timeyou replace the battery? have you check for false contact on the cattery cables remember his batteries have acid and with time start eating tou cable terminals creating false contact. Now have you replace bulb for factory bulb remember aftermarket (or non original bulbs) may have more watz consumption overloading magneto stator (alternatior). after you dont all this and you continue having the same problem you may want to replace your stator

    It doesn't have a battery it has a pull start. It has the original bulbs. Could it possibly be the regulator?

SOURCE: Polaris 400 snowmobile I'm thinkin it's a float problem wondering if it would be better to clean it for quick fix or replace it. It's a beater so I'm thinking clean it looking for the easiest way.

its not hard to put a new one in in the long run it would be easier and a lot less headache
