1992 Polaris 350L 4X4 Not Running

[bhristianzx12]

 I have acquired a free 92 Polaris 350L 4X4. Ive replaced carburetor from ebay, replaced spark plug, im trying to pull start but sounds like it doesnt want to fire. Spark is a bright orange spark (checked with spark plug tester), replaced plug, pre mixed gas from an external gravity feed tank. Compression test good. Anyone got any recommendations for me?

Is the spark plug wet with gas after trying to start?   That would prove gas is getting into cylinder.   

You can use  starter fluid to introduce fuel into carburetor. just to see it fire...

Wow that's perplexing

Make sure you have spark at the plug, you may have a good spark plug but it may not be firing when you plug it in.

If this is an aftermarket carb, sometimes the throttle cable is not adjusted proper for the fit. Make sure the throttle plate is closing all the way and the choke plunger is working properly. Try some starting fluid and see if it makes some noise if it does it will run just have to get the mixture right.

Spark test devices are nice.  I like more tools...LOL 

BUt getting it to fire is a great even with starting fluid is good starting point.  This is a 2 cycle motor.  Fuel mixture is important.  Is the  spark plug  'wet' ?
