I bought a 98 Polaris Magnum 425 4x4 it ran decent when I test drove it. I know it had been setting possibly a year. It smelt like bad gas and seemed to bog down when I got on it.
Today I cleaned out the carb which looked pretty good. I still checked everything out and the needle was free moving and clean. Choke was clear and throttle cable was free and clean.
I replaced the Plug only the cable looked brand new up inside was bright and clean. It looked like it had good spark.
I am still waiting on my new K&N airfilter.
When I put the machine back together it still has that miss when you getting on it. I tested without the airfilter and with airfilter with no change. Before someone says that.
I still don't have a service manual but, what is that aluminum boxlike device that the fuel flows into then on to carb under the head light? Is that some sort of filter? It appeared to have good fuel flow going to carb but its hard to tell how much it really needs. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
