Hey from Az.I bought a 2001 Polaris 500 Mag. 4X4 that wouldn't stay running,in fact I haven't ridden it yet.Just pushed it into the garage.This is all new to me,never owned a dirt machine before but have gone out into the desert on friends machines.Its absolutely a fantastic experience to go riding out there.So much to see.As well as on the forums here there is unlimited resources to help me get this bike up and running,thanks to all who contribute and make this possible.

Welcome to the forum Hank Guy !! :seeyac:

BTW ... what exactly does your bike do ?? Will it idle ?? Does it die when warmed up ?? Does it die when ya give it gas ? Has it been sitting long before you bought it ?? :toetap05c:

I assume from it being a 2001 it has a carburetor ... if so ... it may be gummed up if it had been sitting around long before you bought it.

Might want to take the carb off & clean it up real good with carb cleaner. Check the needle & seat too.

Make sure gas is coming out of the fuel tank valve ... sometimes the screens inside the tank will get crap on it that will plug them up.

Check your spark & maybe change the spark plug too.

And check to make sure the air filter is clean ....

Not sure what else to suggest ... have fun dude !! :cheers2c:

Welcome to QC Hank. theres lots of helpful people on here. If it was sitting outside a lot you might want to drain the gas tank. You might have gotten some water in it or the tank can get a gummy build up in it. also the carb is probably dirty and needs cleaned.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      I am new to this site. I have a 1987 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport I think. Is there a difference between quadsport and quadrunner?

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      2 problems with 2000 Timberwolf 4x4
      By Tim Keiper
      1st problem, Does anyone know where I can find a stock carb for my Timberwolf, I have tried two different aftermarket carbs and they both suck. The machine runs great until it gets good and warm, then it keeps stalling unless I feather the throttle. it will even stall while I'm trying to go from 1st to reverse or vise versa. I took it to a buddy of mine who is a bike mechanic for years, and he told me try to find a factory carb. When I look online from dealers it says "NOT AVAILABLE" anyone have any suggestions ?
       
      2nd, The small tab on the rear axle for towing is to short for even pulling my small yard trailer, I can't even turn a little bit and hit hits. I tried making an extension which worked great as far as length, but it bends the tab and then the extension drags the ground. I have an idea of what to do to fix it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and see how you solved it.
