Hello:
I was given this Polaris Magnum by a good friend that had it sitting around collecting dust and rust. That being said, I cleaned the carburetor, fuel tank, replaced the fuel lines and fuel filter - it sparked right up!!
Now, I'm going through it and looking it over and making a list of parts that need to be replaced. My question(s), as a newbie with a little bit of knowledge on small engine repair, I'd like to know what's important to change/replace first?
Here's where I'm at with replacement parts:
- Exhaust system - it's all rusted out.
- Air box stand (broken)
- Foam air filter - goes on end of air box
- Foam seal - goes on end of air box
- Petcock/fuel valve - has a small leak
- 1/8" Fuel line - from top of gas tank that runs off to the bottom of the ATV
- In-line breather - from crankcase to air box (is this a must)
Here's where I'm at with maintenance:
- Needs a new spark plug
- Needs oil & oil filter
- Needs air filter
- Replaced the fuel filter
- Replaced fuel lines - from carb to fuel tank
- Cleaned out fuel tank
I'll update the forum on other parts/maintenance that I may need (i.e. brakes, tires, etc.) once I getting it to riding status, but if I'm missing something or you all recommend I check other stuff prior to that, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Last but not least, where do you all suggest I buy replacement parts?
