Quad will Not start!!!

[Polaris600]

I haven't been on here in a while but I got a couple problems....

I always run the premium gas in my quad cause there was always issues when I don't. So this sunday (in a jam) I put cheap gas in it and started it up. It ran, but it cut off whenever it went to idle speed. After driving it for 15 minutes, I parked it. Next day I went to start it and it wouldn't start.

So Today(2 days from putting bad gas in) I siphoned out all the bad gas and put premium gas in and tried to start it, but nothing. I guess with all the cranking, I burned out the starter too it started to whine and then just cut off. Now the engine will not spin over and I am not sure what to do.

The ETC module on the handle twists easily and I have to usually play with that for it to start.

Dang I wish they had diesels in these.

Thanks!!

Update, I just took the spark plugs out and they had heavy carbon build up, is that normal?

Since I am pretty sure I burned out my starter will this one work?

Changed the starter and the spark plugs. When I turned the key I got nothing, so I am thinking the problem is the starter selonoid because I am getting 12V to the selonoid and the batteries cables are good and the connections tight. Anyone know where to get one?

Also, how can I tune or 'set' the electronic throttle cable???

Thanks so much!

Before you order a solenoid. Check if
Your getting 12
Volts at starter itself. And solenoids are 15-20 bucks on ebay. Also
Heard of some solenoids for tractors and possibly fords that'll work too but you'll have to search in the forums on here to get the part

on the etc switch, do what i did. open up the top of your thumb throttle assembly, you will see the 2 metal leads for the etc. if they touch, the atv will have no fire. i just put something between the leads so they would not touch. no problems out of it anymore for mee

If you take a screwdriver to the main leads on the solenoid and touch them together (to make the starter spin) it would answer some questions.

If it turns over, you have a bad solenoid OR starter switch OR bad cable/connection from the switch to the solenoid.
-- (FYI, a continuity tester can test your starter switch. If you have a solenoid like mine that doesn't disconnect the smaller pair of wires that go to it, carefully jab the wires with the tester's leads and see if you have continuity when you press the start button, but no continuity when you don't press it. If you get nothing when you press it, the start switch and/or cabling is bad).

If it doesn't turn over with the screwdriver test, you have a bad starter OR connection somewhere between the solenoid and starter.

(Jumper cables from the + on the battery to the solenoid connection to the starter (bolted connections) also server as a better "screwdriver").

It wouldn't surprise me to see a bad solenoid since you cranked it for so long that day. You need to work on your carb adjustments after cleaning it thouroughly. Replace your fuel filter and flush your tank. This should help most of your problems, if not all.

BTW, I always find replacement parts my looking at This Website then searching ebay.com using the part number I got from Polaris' site. Do a description search if you want as well. Most decent venders tad their item with the part number.

Hope this helps!

What about the the throttle cable adjuster sleeve, what do I do with that? Is there a way to set that?

[reizac926]

Are you referring to where it connects to the carb or the hand control?
