1998 polaris xplorer 400 4x4 Quad dies

[Brittany Jones]

Yes I just got a 1998 polaris xplorer 400 4x4. Ran fine after hauling then died. Cleaned carb and put new fuel filter, hose, and new battery in. Starts 3 out of 10 times but will only run for a short time. Any suggestions?

Test your spark and not just for a few cranks.  See that it’s consistent. 

If that’s ok check the timing. We hear some of the time people hauling things and you wind up with a jumped timing chain. 

Other then that I would say to look at the carburetor and fuel delivery system if all else checks out.

We didnt haul with the quad we hauled the quad in back of pick up. It ran fine after unloading. Got 2 miles and it died.

Ok so go through some of the things listed and see what you have as far as results.
