Odd issue I'm hoping you fine folks can help diagnose. Recently rebuilt 800XP with new crank, rings, etc. Rod bearing went south so had to replace the crank. Got it back together fine, but only starts at half throttle and doesn't really even want to do that. Checked timing again and dots are perfect, compression 170 on both cylinders, fuel pressure 40ish.  Anything I could run down that I'm missing?

Could the injector wires be crossed ? Or ignition ?

 

Even though the valve timing is right, it may not be phased with either ignition or injectors.. Seen it on cars.

@Mech Good call, turned out to be injector wires crossed.  I helped my oldest rebuild the motor and drop it in and he put it all back together.  Woops.  The tip was last night when I could smell fuel a bit while cranking it over.  In EFI the only possible reason to smell fuel while cranking is no compression or a mismatch in squirt and bang.  I knew timing was perfect, that only left fuel and the spray pattern was clean.

      How to replace throttle assembly spring?

      I am having an issue with a hs500. I bought it broken and have been trying to get it running. It seems to be starving for fuel. If I put my hand over the intake it will crank but will not run for very long because I'm not able to get the correct airflow with my hand. The things I have done so far are. Replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, mass airflow sensor, idle air adjuster, fuel injector, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the ecu, and still the same issue. I notice the injector does not spray when removed from the head. I dont know if that is common. 
       
      I am out of ideas on what to do next. I have removed the fuel line from the injector and it is getting plenty of fuel. If anyone has an idea on what could possibly be the issue I would be happy to try anything at this point.

      Hi all. I have a timberwolf 250 2nd that will not start.. I thought it was out of time bc the guy I got it from said it just quit on him. The tensioner had a nut welded to it and it was like2 teeth off. I installed new tensioner and chain and it still will not start. It has fire and it will not hit off brake cleaner. It has compression. Haven't put a gauge but I'm sure it will crank and run with what it has. I double checked my work and it's still in time. Spot on. Both valves move. I'm about to put a feeler gauge on them and I'll cone back but other than that any ideas?

      Greetings to all.  New to the forum, but not to ATVing.  I started when they only had 3 wheels!  Getting back into riding.  Polaris 850.  Too many bells and whistles, but what do you do.  Scouting out places to ride legally now.
