I know you meant no offense by it. It’s sure is a good reminder anyways. I think sometimes it’s easy to forget we are prone to mistakes. sorry about the lack of updates guys. We just bought a new car so I have been busy dealing with that and haven’t had time to look at the 4 x 4 lately.

Should add I am a diesel mech. Very positive it is put together properly. However, I am asking to see if there is something about these that I don’t know like are they full time 4x4 with switch on? Does the 4x4 only operate when the rear tires slip? However if normal function is always on with activation then I can lift the front and look for 4x4 lockup. I am certain it is most likely electronic. Probably a coil.

Not sure where to start with 4x4 inspection. I tried to drive over a long the other day and noticed that the front wheels were not engaging. Recently had the differential apart front diff coil measures at 25 ohms. Everything looked pretty good. I also repaired the pigtail for the front differential connection. I replaced the Sprague cage with an aluminum one and all the bearings in the diff. So, as it sits. My 4 x 4 switch works as far as I can tell. My gauge cluster shows 4 x 4 I just have no engagement. Any suggestions on where to start?

Replaced the u-joints and put a new badlands 3500lbs atv winch on her this weekend! I have new upholstery/seat foam on order, custom made with an extra 1/4 foam sewn in the cover. Pretty excited! Will be using it to plow this winter and as a toy on the side to go tackle some trails.

Just got it out today for the first time. Rode great and not bothering with jetting because it felt great. Are these Hilliard differentials normally whiny upon deceleration? It only makes noise when it is below 5mpg to a stop. I should also add that it has an aluminum sprague cage instead of plastic and new bearings/seals.

That is charging voltage, 14.7 is as high as that should be. Your issue lies somewhere else, I would purchase/obtain a manual and follow the diagnostic route set forth by Polaris.

I have a champion in it now, I think I’ll switch to an iridium after it’s dialed in. I like having less stress on the ignition system! Lol that plug is brand new… I think you’re right as far as just needing to adjust the needle. It’ll be a week or so before I’m that far though. Thanks, I like to think I pay attention most days! 🤣

Here is the plug color, but this is without a load on it.

Duly noted. I will keep this in mind for the coming weeks. Still have a lot to do before riding. Front diff Rear torsion bushings Exh. Rocker Reupholster seat Front cv shaft

I feel like when I rev it out, it is shorting itself in the top. It’s not hitting rev limiter as far as I can tell. However, it’s hard to tell when you aren’t riding lol. Can’t says it’s Faulty without a load. I am 0-1800ft elevation

Well I’m not going to close this case yet. I still have the diff to rebuild and a test drive to do. Finished the rear end and new tires for the front. Waiting on a drive shaft for the front and the exhaust rocker. Changed all Fluid and filters, greased her up. I think I might need to size up the main slightly. I need to know what max rpm for this machine is though. Service manual does not say as far as I can tell.

Yeah seeing it for what it is usually take some time unless its very obvious. Glad you all could talk me through it! I was very sure it was a carb issue as well myself. Not having enough fuel and being properly jetted never made any sense lol.

I figured it out 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 The carb vent tubes were ran down the PVT intake and as a by product it was stealing vacuum from the carburetor. I pulled the vacuum vent lines out of the PVT and “voila” no more “lean” condition. This had me thrown for a loop because the plug color was so perfect. Also, the kill switch needed a clean up and I bought an eBay one. No more touchy kill switch. No electrical problems as of right now. My exhaust rocker was damaged though as if someone had done a cam and not replaced the rocker. Ordering today. Woohoo!!

I guess I should add I am a diesel mechanic for the daily. I have checked what I believe to be the simple things first. Carburetor disassembly/reassembly was meticulous. I think I am worried that either 1: I have port spark under throttle 2: This is a bad carb right out of the gate

Will not maintain an rpm at given throttle above 3000rpm. Rpm’s fall and rise slowly as if fuel level drops and then catches up. Very distinctly lean, bogs with a lot of throttle and then catches up. However…the spark plug is dark brown…that indicates an otherwise rich condition.. Tank vent is good. No emissions equipment. No air cut valve on carb.
