<p> I cannot get into scribd.com. It keeps telling me that my
email is taken. The Catt II computer that runs the software is a
proprietary computer that is only available from Arctic Cat
distributors. There is one on Ebay right now for $1800. That is
the reason no one in OKC will work on them anymore. They came up
with this VLX model of ATV that was such a good deal. But the
reason is they took the display off the handlebars and only have
idiot lights. The lights do not flash to display a code like the
old automobiles did. I bought this 700CC VLX 4wd atv newin
2019 for only $1000 more than I paid for my Arctic Cat 366 in
2008. They make it back by charging $250 minimum for
diagnostics....<br>

Cecil,

<div>Don’t know if this will help. You need to read through it. It
sounds like you can download software to a PC and diagnose your
machine.</div>

.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I tore down
the Arctic Cat 2019 700 VLX yesterday. I bought a lift table
at a sellout of a cycle upfitter. The fuel pump suction
strainer had disintegrated in the tank. The tank had some
sticky red crap in the bottom that would not mix with the
gas. I dumped the gas and mopped up the red stuff with
towels. Then found that methanol would make the red stuff mix
with the leftover gas and pour out the tank. I think what
fuel was in it caused the fuel pump to liquify. Then the
carburetor throttle plate was frozen. I worked with carb and
choke cleaner and finally got the throttle shaft pulled and
the throttle shaft had the same sticky stuff. This only had
maybe 10-12 hours on it if that much. It has been sitting 2
years. I never put anything in the tank but gasoline. I try
to buy only premium unleaded no ethanol. I buy from the same
place. I have it nearly all back together and I tried the
starter and it fired with the little fuel in the fuel line.
Now I have my 2012 Arctic Cat 700 with power steering to find
the problems. The power steering, 4wd, lights, fan all quit
working. I have checked all relays and fuses. The fan was
the first to go then the power steering, then 4wd and last the
lights. Arctic Cat has become very hard to get correct parts
for. Textron bought them and now they are producing their own
brand of ATV and letting the Arctic Cat division go hungry.
It doesn't make sense, but I have 3 of them. My first Arctic
Cat was a 2008 366 model. i bought it when I first started
consulting and it was what I could afford. I paid for it in 4
months, financed it with my credit card. I bought that 2019
model when the 366 would not run above idle. I bought the
2019 700 to use while the 366 was being worked on. It took 2
weeks at least before the dealer would get it into the shop to
work on it. When I picked up the 366, it ran good for about
30 minutes. I put an Ebay carburetor on it and it would not
start. When I was working on it I found all the rubber
connections on it were cracked and leaking. Why the dealer
did not change these I don't know. They charged nearly $500
to rebuild the carburetor. It turns out that the dealer I
bought all these Arctic Cats from is no longer an Arctic Cat
dealer. The closest one is over 120 miles away. I had done
a lot of business with them for service over the years. I
messaged them about the problems I was having, and got the
response that they were sorry for all the problems I was
having. So, I bought a lift table and will do all my own
work like I used to do. The last time I put a fuel pump in my
old 700, my back was killing me for days. I have to be able
to work while sitting in a chair. now that i have tried the
lift table, it needs a little modifications on the safety
stops to get it at just the right height. It works great
though, as it will run off a small compressor.<br>
