I have a 94 Polaris 300 2 Cycle that wont start. I have been having problems with it since I bought it. It doesn't make sense to me as it will start sometimes and then other times it wont start at all. If you wait awhile (day or so) and try it again it usually starts. I have noticed that when it does start, you have to fan the throttle since it bogs down when you first touch the throttle. I tried starting it last night to see if it would run today for my hunting trip and couldn't get it running right. I tried starting it for about an hour and it finally started. When it started it bogged down. I finally got it to clear up and revved it a bit to clean the cylinder out. I let it idle to make sure it would continue to run and it died. I checked the plug and it was barely wet (looked like a little film of oil on the porcelain part). I have tried to start with choke on and off and it doesnt seem to make a difference. I do smell gas when I crank on it eventually. Checked the spark and it has good spark. Changed the plug and still nothing. I did notice that if I let it sit for like an hour or so and go out and try to start it it will start on the initial hit of the start button and immediately die. After that it wont start at all again. I'm trying to find out why or what to look for so I don't tear into this searching for something that may be simple. Are there any common problems with these atv's? Thanks for your help
