1997 Polaris Sportsman started bogging all of a sudden


Recommended Posts

Check if it is a fuel issue by pouring a capful of gas down the sparkplug and see if it will start.  If it does, it is a fuel supply issue. Check carb again (99% of the time in these situations the pilot jet is plugged).  Then fuel filter?  Fill gas tank. lol

I just got a 94 Polaris sportsman 400 4x4 that has been sitting for awhile I cleaned the carb got it to start and run but I feel like its over heating I know nothing about the cooling systems on these also I notice the voltage regulator gets extremely hot while its idling none of the electronics work on it no lights of anykind head lights nor dash lights I jumped it to get it started also when I got it started it wouldn't go into reverse other then that it looks like a really nice bike no damage what so ever so I imagine with a little work this will make me a nice bike any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      My uncle bought a Baja 250, 2006. Knew there was no spark since the get go. He don't know anything about quads so is getting me to help him try to get it running...
       
      battery is bad so I connected battery charger to it to crank it over , cranks over well , but no spark .... 
      Lights and everything work fine , but with each crank over using the e start switch , the display reads 999 888 777 666 ... Right down to 000 and repeats itself . 
       
      He managed to get a parts bike , I changed over the CDI and the coil and the stator from the parts bike and there was another black box by the voltage regulator I changed over ... I used my multimeter to confirm as much as I could works , it's hard without knowing which wires are which , and I cannot find any diagrams online for this bike ? 
       
      Do you think it could be the Killswitch? There's so many wires coming from there I don't know where to start . Also I should mention it appears the fan on the front of the bike has been taken off (the wires have been cut too ) 
       
      If this bike sparked it would run . The previous owner said he parked it one day and it just wouldn't start after.

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      I Ran across this video today comparing an aftermarket to OEM Carb on Suzuki Vinson, thought it might generate some interest, it is quite long but informative.
