  1. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Trying to revive an old ranger. Got it to crank once with original starter but was leaking fuel out the air intake then the starter burned up. Now the new starter won't engage with the motor to turnover and just spins till battery drains. Just replaced: Battery Coil Carburetor Fuel pump Fuel...
  2. ATV Performance Modifications
    Hey! I was just wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with a mikuni hsr42 carb on a scrambler 500 ho. If so, what is the jetting you guys are running. My scrambler needs a new carb and I figured it could use an upgrade from the CV carb. Thanks!
  3. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hey guys, I'm rebuilding the carb on my 05 700 (Sportsman) and I noticed something weird, on the engine side there should be a slot for an adjustment screw (not sure what it does, but I've looked at diagrams and it should be there) however it has a brass plug in it, with no way (that I can see)...
  4. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Anyone have a link to a guide or some general pointers as to the process of adjusting the carb? Put a rebuild kit in it last year. Kept the stock needle and used most every else. Cleaned the carb, and gas tank and replaced fuel lines last year. Haven't ran it in 6 months. After getting fresh...

    Bought this Sportsman 500HO a couple months back. It ran fine then one day (while driving it nicely) it backfired, died, and wouldn’t restart. Granted, I think it also ran out of fuel BUT even after fuel it would not start. Now, while working on it I can sometimes get it to start and run when...
  6. Polaris Predator
    I have the engine from a 2005 Predator 500 that I swapped into a go kart. I had the engine running in the quad before swapping but the knockoff carb it came with and the cables are shot. I was looking to fit a new performance carb without breaking the bank. Main one I’m looking at right now is...
  7. Polaris Trail Boss
    96' trailboss 250. I am at the end with this machine, please help! I have gone through the carb repeatedly, all passages are clean. Checked timing, ETC, tank vents and oil pump function. Put a new top end on, bottom end still seemed tight and moved smoothly. Replaced fuel filter, fuel shutoff...
  8. Polaris Magnum
    I know many people have had this problem before. I recently purchased a 98 Magnum 425. Guy said it would run but spit and sputter. I brought it home cleaned carb and some fresh fuel. Fired right up and idles perfect. Runs good up until about 1/5 throttle then starts spitting and sputtering and...
  9. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    All the lines had rotted/fallen to the bottom and I have no idea what goes where. There is one of the left/ drivers side, there are 2 on the right/passenger side, and one on the bottom that I assume is for a drain line. One of them must be for the oil injection (bike has been running premix...

    My ‘04 Sportsman 500HO has the OEM PN 3131567 carb. Attached to the drain on the bottom of the float bowl is a vinyl tube with, what I think is, a check valve built in the drain tube. I recently had the float bowl drain tube off and noticed that after starting and accelerating the engine, gas...
  11. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    I purchased a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 500HO carbed and bought it non-running. I got it running and was driving like normal, then began to have sputtering issues. If you gave it gas it would just sit there and hesitate/sputter and would eventually clear up and it would take off. It got to the...
  12. Polaris Magnum
    I've been trying to get my magnum running after sitting for a year and I can't get it to idle and if it does idle it dies after 20secs but I tried to rule out all the common suspects and I bought a new carb and fuel pump and I still can't get it to run I'm pretty new to carbureted engines but I...
  13. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hello! I have zero experience with ATVs aside from some basic knowledge. Last ride, we had to pull out a stuck wheeler, and while doing so, my 2004 polaris Sportsman 700 got damaged. We believed it to be the belt, because it would buck forward or backwards after putting it in gear. We replaced...

    I've got a 2004 Polaris sportsman 500 H.O. I noticed a lot of fuel coming from the carb overflow line both while running and while the machine is off. I figured it was a stuck float, bad needle etc so I put a brand new cheap carb on so I could keep using the machine while I cleaned the OEM carb...
  15. Polaris Sportsman
    Hello all! Happy Memorial Day! I have a 1998 Sportsman 500. I just put a brand new carb on it. It won’t start, not a big surprise starting out after new carb install, but it won’t even start with starter fluid. Any ideas? I’m perplexed.
  16. ATV New Members
    I have a sportsman 400 4x4 It keeps stalling. If you let it sit for about 10 to 15 seconds it starts right back up. You can drive it another 50 feet and it will do it again. And it does it about every 50 feet. I put a new stator on it thinking it was that. The motor was just rebuilt It doesn't...
  17. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    2005 sportsman 500 ho Carb Runs great down low but if held at 3000 rpm it sputters and sounds like it’s hitting the rev limiter but when given more gas picks right up and runs great up top. Carb was cleaned new fuel filter and intake boot, but hasn’t really helped the issue. Any ideas?

  19. ATV Racing Discussion
    Hey guys. I’m over here racking my brain trying to figure this out. A few days ago my Atv started sputtering and would only run with the choke out. So I cleaned out the carb and decided to order a rebuild kit. Well the Atv idles perfect, but if I give it much throttle at all it boggs down...
  20. ATV Repair and Maintenance
    Hey guys, I inherited a 2008 Trailblazer 330 from a family member that hasn't been used in two years. My son and I decided to take it on as a project and cleaned it up and replaced the carb, oil, filter, battery and spark plugs to see if we could get it working. It turns over but will not...
