I would think it would be fine.

That really applies to most older bikes with the staring up and bogging. They have to warm up a bit. As far as no choke that’s a little strange unless it’s kept in a garage or somewhat warm place.

Lol no don’t ignore it. If it’s an independent axle you will have to pull it and have it rebuilt or order a new one.

Seen it on IG. Looks sick! Nice work.

Yes you should have at least a little bit of a fire if you have spark. Is it possable that your temp connections are good ? I would def take the carb apart and clean it just to get that out of the way. As far as spark goes is the plug fresh? If not put a new one in.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

No it’s a worn joint. Can’t adjust it.

Dam @pokerl0w that’s a lot of snow. I’ve been watching the news and and seeing some posts/pics on social media about the snow out there. With the right machine it could be a lot of fun! Even with all my sh** I have to ride I would prob just stay in and eat and drink 🍺.

It’s great stuff. Put some pics up when it’s done.

I am!

There are apps on your phone you can download that are speedometers. They are spot on accurate. Download the app and take a ride in the car and compare you will be shocked. Clip the phone to the quad and you can see how fast it goes. Not a fix but you can get an idea on how fast your going.

You have to take the carburetor off of the bike and completely tear it down. You will need a small piece of wire to clean every small port on the carburetor as well as a small can of air to blow out the carburetor ports while your cleaning it. The part of the carburetor that’s probably jammed up is the float and fill needle inside the bowl. Not allowing fuel to get into the engine. Make sure you work on a clean surface and blow every small oraface out of the carburetor. There is also a fuel air mixture screw on the carburetor before you take that out it would be best to count how many turns it is set at from a snug tight position so you put it right back where it was or close to it when your done.

Agreed.

I agree with the air and vent/vac lines having minimal impact on the air box and it’s baffling. I’m just trying to look at everything. @Kurt Reiser has said he’s checked for any obstruction on all openings air filter etc so how can this be? Very strange.

That part on the throttle was most likely a rev limiter. Major problems with them on some of the Polaris bikes. I’ve learned that personally on one of mine. Backfire issues, reving spitting you name it. I removed it and the bike ran perfect ! Thanks to some of the memebers on this very forum with that info and you know who you are! 👍 As far as your clicking if it’s independent suspension it’s prob the axle joint making the clicking sound. ESP if it’s on turns only. Very similar to a CV joint on a car. The trans not engaging till half throttle is a clutch issue. Weather it’s worn (prob so) or springs my guess is it’s just tired.

Hoses connected to the air box like the vacuum etc ? Did you try to disconnect them lines and reconnect to the carb and see how that is ?

Lol that’s great. Into the darkness!!!! The rims do come out well. So as far as the plastics if your intent is to paint them black then you might as well experiment with them a little bit and see what you can do. Ive tried heat guns at a safe distance. It works so so. I’ve water sanded and buffed out. Same result so so! I’ve trained everything to no avail. But I’ve water sanded and ran them up to a local body guy and asked him to spray them in a booth. $100 bucks and they are like new in a gloss black. Cheaper way to go is buy rolls of vinyl from amazon and cut out your own patterns and place them on where you want and hit the vinyl with a heat gun and they shrink right into any bends or corners of the plastics and look great. They sell all sorts of colors and even camo. Check out one of my posts on my daughters bike. Pink camo patterns home made. You can also look up spray painting on you tube and find tons of info.

Lol it was pretty funny stuff.

Any progress?

Never be sorry to ask. Better safe then sorry. Moving the clip to the top notch lessens the amount of fuel coming in. Moving the clip to the bottom of the needle allows more fuel to flow. Where is it at now ? (The clip)

Ok the reason I’m asking: 1. I’m wondering if there is a problem with the vacuum where as soon as you hook the air box up the vacuum lines are drawing all the air from the air box starving the air flow into tye carburetor. Why? No clue! Just wondering if that’s what’s going on. May sound stupid but you never know Try to move the needle on the carburetor and see how that goes. Make sure you remember where the clip was on the needle before you move it. If that’s not the fix then disconnect all hoses going to the air box, reconnect to the carb and try to run the bike and see what happens. Side note. That clip and spring set up in the carburetor can be tedious. Parts can fly off and never to be found again. Work in an area that will prevent that from happening.

That saw I bought from HF about 5 years ago. The compound slide version. That saw was good for what I needed it for however whenever I used it the electric motor gave off a burning smell that resembled marajuana. So my customers would look at me funny and I had to explain that it’s the saw. I had to turn the saw on to show them. I still have the saw and use it for only demo work now since I’ve upgraded to a better saw but that one did the job and yes it still smells. It’s a smell from the electric brushes but man it was a weird smell.

That’s a good point. Maybe adjust the main jet needle on the carb. Take the carb off and pull the vacuum slide out and see where the needle is set. I’ve attached a pic. It’s possable that tye needle is set wrong. Good point @JacobSlabach

Quick question. Is there any other hose that connects to the air box from the engine ?

Yep the after market ones are nice. But if the bike is solid then it may be worth it. Whenever I pick up a new project bike I take the rims down to bare metal and prime and paint. They always come back to a real nice finish. It’s not a lot of work and the end result is always rewarding and worth the effort. So if you have a wire wheel for the drill and some sand paper, spray paint you can pick up a used set of steel rims and make them look new.
