Not a 1993

 

Ok. No that won't be on there.
A 1993 what?

 

Does anyone have a link, (or a manual they don't need) for a 1993 Trail Boss 250 4x4? Polaris doesn't respond to emails. Thanks.

pretty much the same

 

I was going to suggest manualslib.com

 

Anything you'll need to know should be in the service manual that I linked you to dwg.
What is is specifically that you want to know?

 

I would like an owners manual specific to this bike.I'm waiting on a Haynes repair manual to come. I got it from a client. They rode it,and it wouldn't start the next time. It's sat for 4 years. It's not seized up. I'm not a mechanic. I can fix things once I know what's up though. Figured I'd start with the carb. I have it loose but can't get it free to clean it.

 

Ok... An "Owner's Manual" has very little if any useful information other than what all the buttons and switches do, a few safety tips and warnings for new riders and minimal maintenance info like what motor oil and spark plug to use. Other than that very limited info they're pretty much useless.
For any REAL information about the machine you need a Polaris Service and Repair Manual that contains all the information and specs about everything in and on the machine. The same manual used by dealership service techs.

 

I sent him the factory service manual for 85 to 95 models. Finding an OEM owners manual is highly unlikely anyway.

 

I thought you had latebird. I just wasn't sure he understood the difference between what he was asking for vs. what he actually needs or that he knows about checking his private messages to download the manual. Maybe he'll figure it out?

 

Sounds good. Didn't mean to come off as condescending. I saw that you said you were new and have seen others before looking for technical service info in the owner's manual which is the wrong source for that kinda stuff.
Good luck in you search.

 

It just pulls out of the boot - there is a rib in the boot and a groove on the spigot of the carb - the rubber hardens from heat and age and it requires a little effort to pop it out.

 

Ok. Carbs out. Gonna clean it, change some hoses that are worn, change the oil, new plug, battery and air filter. There was no air filter in there. I'm thinking this will be an issue but I'm just wanting to do the minimal to see if starts. Other than the years of dirt to clean off, is there anything else you recommend that I should do at this step? I really appreciate the help from you guys. Thank you

 

In case you didn't know it, it won't run right without a filter and it needs the OEM or OEM style filter

 

I wouldn't run it without the filter. So, are you saying that it won't run at all without it? Because the guy I got it from said they rode it, parked it and it wouldn't start the next time he tried. I doubt he did any maintenance to it, it's dirty as hell. Just wondering now if he told me the whole story.

 

I think polman read that wrong as I did too the first time I read it.

I'm saying it won't run right without an air filter. It was designed for an air filter, a specific type of filter, a sealed air box and an intake snorkel. The carburetor was then jetted to compensate for the resistance to air flow. Removing the filter and the lid of the air box means it may idle, but the carb would have to rejetted to run above idle with those parts missing.

Also, a dirty air filter will make it lose power during acceleration, limit top speed and decrease fuel mileage.

What's dirty as hell? The vehicle in general or the air filter or all; inside and out? If it was neglected severely and the oil never changed, there may be internal engine damage: rings, cam and rocker arms are easily damaged by neglect and failure to perform routine maintenance.

 

Ouch! If it didn't have an air filter in it and had been ridden that way I'd want to do a quick compression check just to see what it looks like.

 

I may be misinterpreting his posts but my last suggestion about checking compression was because of his comments in posts #'s 21 and 23 about the machine's history and current condition. I get old machines in pretty often that have obviously been run with little or no air filtration and extremely nasty oil. It has become routine for me to check compression first thing when I see really bad oil and a torn up unsealed air filter with dirt in the intake.

Post #21: "There was no air filter in there."

Post # 23: "Because the guy I got it from said they rode it, parked it and it wouldn't start the next time he tried. I doubt he did any maintenance to it, it's dirty as hell. Just wondering now if he told me the whole story. "

 

Nope - I missed it

Yeah if run without a filter, the rings could be toast - need a compression check before even trying to start it

 

Yeah, hopefully its not as bad as it sounds. I just wanted to give him a heads up that it could be an issue.
