I have a 2003 Polaris predator. Been sitting for about 6-7 months. Put brand new gas in it, new plug, cleaned the carb. Starts up no problem. Idles well. As soon as I put it in first and release the clutch to ride it, it rides but kind of bucks a little. Like its not getting fuel. As I give it gas it like sputters and breaks up. If I stop put it in neutral it idles perfect. Any suggestions?? Thanks

Sounds as if there is still some funk in the carb to me. Id give it a complete tear down, cleaned and put it back together unless that is what you did, only other thing I can think of is a very dirty air cleaner.

I just cleaned it quickly. Seemed to help a lot. I will probably end up taking it apart this weekend. Someone else had told me the clutch plates could be sticking together from it sitting for a while? Which would be why it's bucking? Thanks Jon.

      2006 Polaris Sawtooth No Spark
      By LashinWheeler
      Hello all, I have a 2006 Polaris Sawtooth with no spark. It has a dead battery but with a jump pack on it, it will still not Spark. Plug is good, Throttle ETC is not closed, Stator pick up coil seems to Ohm out in the correct range, Unsure how to properly check the CDI. And when ignition is on the Neutral and reverse light come on but after cranking just the neutral stays on. 
       
      Any help would be great,
       
      Thanks!

      Looking for Quadrunner Flywheel Starter Clutch Gear race diameter
      By logray
      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      First time quad owner looking for advice!
      By Mikey509
      Hi guys, I was given a 2000 Honda Recon fourtrax 250 (I think that's the full name lol). The previous owner had it sitting for a while before I got it. It sat for another few years in my ownership. I got it up and going on its first test drive today!! I was wondering where everyone buys their parts from?  Coming from the car community, we have sites like RockAuto and many more. Anything like that for quads? Also would like to be pointed in a direction, if possible, for plastics. I am missing a few and would like to have it complete. I appreciate any input!
