06 scrambler 500. I had issues with carb so I purchased knockoff carb while OEM was being cleaned. Installed the off mark carb. Ran great but fuel was heavily dripping (not pouring) out of overflow. Then I got my OEM carb back after being cleaned and rebuilt. Install OEM and now I have a very...

While trying to clean the carburetor I broke.the brass tube on the carb that goes from the choke to the bowl I believe. Is there a way to replace this part or fix it? I can't seem to find that part or a part number. Thank you in advance. Picture is from a google search to help explain the part.

I have a 98 magnum 425 4x4 and when the handle bars are parallel with the front end the tires are turned a bit off to the side. Is this an tie rod alignment issue or is there a way to take the steering shaft and loosen it up and turn it to the correct position and then retighten it? I loosen the...

Hi Basically I have been rebuilding a carb with my friend on his Predator 90, the carb was stripped and left for the past year. We came back to it and theres only 4 bolts! we managed to get 2 on the float bowl crossed over and it holds without leakage and 2 on the top of the carb for the...

I have an older Polaris Sportsman 500. I use it primarily as a plow for my long mountain driveway. It runs well in the colder weather but won't even start in the warmer weather. This summer, after trying to get it to start, I opened up the air filter box and found about a half inch of fuel...

Starts and idles fine but as soon as I give it throttle, it wants to stall(in any gear). Changing plug and oil tomorrow. A buddy said to drain float bowl in case of water buildup. Did this with no result. Problem started when I was plowing snow down hill and using ABS to some extent. At first...

I recently bought a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500. They just put a new 500 HO motor in it and took it out a few times before it sat for a year or two. I have cleaned the air filter, replaced fuel pump, took carb apart except for the two jets that screw in, and soaked parts in carb cleaner for 6...

Picked up two sport 90's 2006 both have same problem. they start and run good until half throttle then run out of gas. if i back off they will catch up and run only under 1/2 throttle. i have checked and cleaned both carbs every thing looks good, next?

I found that while I was riding the machine started running bad.I started checking different things out,and found that the clip that holds the needle jet had come off.This was making the engine bog down and sputter and the power was ziltch.My question is which slot on the needle does the clip go...

Hi I have searched and searched trying to find out if I can use the Scramblers Carb (Mik- CV 40) in my Trail Boss(Mik-34 I think). Trying to save money the engine is shot in my Scrambler the carb is shot in the Trail Boss. From all my research I gather that other than mounting issues, I would...

i have an 06 predator that was running great. i recently put a yoshi rs3 full exhaust on and took the carb off to jet it, but i had trouble with the choke plunger being stuck in the carb. i got the plunger out and cleaned it up with some 320 grit sand paper as well as the inside of the carb. the...

Hi everyone, new to the forum. I've got a 2004 Sportsman 600 that was a BASKET case! thing was sitting for years. I just got it running and I cant get the idle to come down, it doesnt like to shift when running. I've put a new carb in it with almost all new parts, all my jets and passageways are...

I am currently rebuilding my 1997 sportsman 400L. When i was doing the top end i noticed some indications of overheating(i assume due to improper lubrication from the oil pump), and was wondering what the procedure is to eliminate the oil pump system all together and just mix the gas myself. I...

First of all hello everybody. I'm new to polaris i just got a late 90's magnum 425 and it seems to have two problems that are keeping me from enjoying this atv. First i cant get the quad into high or reverse, i suspect that it is the pin that is sheared off that is on the selector inside the...

I've got a 1995 Polaris Magnum 425 4x4. When I rev it up and let off the gas and then rev it up before it gets back to idle it bogs down pretty bad. The air box is missing the boot on the intake also and was wondering if that might have anything to do with it running poorly. It does not idle...
