Polaris 500 sportsman give it gas stalls


Recommended Posts

I just put in a brand new cam and a brand new cap and it just did the same exact thing is there something that holds that cam or decompression ring in place. Also I noticed another thing when I started it disconnected the battery ran like it was supposed to hook battery back up couldn't hit the gas again. I'm getting so frustrated with thing its unreal about the hundredth time I've taken it apart.

It will go in 2 different ways but I put it in exactly how the service manual showed it both times now before I put it in and wounded the spring once never had this problem now manual says put it in with spring in relaxed position do not wind it once it will not work right but both times broke the case out like something is throwing it out the busting the weight off and weird thing it started running perfectly when I unhooked the battery its getting so much juice from stator it blew my neutral light out this is crazy I just keep throwing money at it and just keeps costing me more its insane

I went and got a new cam yesterday it doesn't even come with the spring preloaded which sucks. Right now I'm trying to find a cap before I can try it again. Just worried to break another one 

Also ? How on earth can the motor go backwards some where on hear someone said sounds like the motor went backwards how can that happen

That can happen if the engine backfires. Usually if timing is off or an unusual amount of fuel that builds up in the cylinder.   The engine kicks back.  

Can you screen shot the page that explains the cam and spring installation and post it here ? I want to read it. I don’t have time to start looking for the manual

      I generally use Non Ethynol fuel in all my small engines. I just got back from the gas station and that fuel has really increased in price since last year, I will continue to use it, even though its north of 1.00 a gallon more. That seems minor compared to cleaning and repairing carbs every year. 
      I was just curious as to what others are doing in regard to gas in their quads, i know a lot of the newer ones are fuel injected which shouldnt pose a problem, but i have had lots of problems with rust and jell forming in carbs when using ethynol fuel.

      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      Hi, I am having issues with my TRX350D fuel pump.  It suddenly stopped running so I have replaced all the fuses and cleaned all the terminals.  I have fitted a new pump, fuel cut-off relay and rectifier.  Still nothing!!  The pump runs when attached to a battery.  The engine will start on the choke and the filter fills with fuel but it will  not rev and dies when the choke is closed. I have power to the relay but nothing at the pump black/white wire when cranking the engine.  Any ideas where to go from here would be very much appreciated!!
