I just bought a 2000 explorer 400 4x4 from a guy @ work. He told me that he was running it the last time he had it out and it quit on him. He said that he changed the spark plug but just couldn’t get it to run again. When I got it home I tore all the plastic off it to make it easier to work on and get to everything. It seems to be getting spark but won’t fire even after putting some gas in the jug. He told me that he recalled that when this all started he recalls that it overheated too. Doesn’t seem to be any coolant in the radiator either. Oh yeah, it seems to have good compression too. I put my thumb over the cylinder port and cranked it and it’s hard to keep my thumb over the hole. I also pulled the flywheel to make sure that the woodruff keys was ok. There was some liquid (seemed to be coolant) in the recoil housing too, if that tells a story too. I also checked the crankcase dip stick to see if was overfilled but its not.

I have no power to lights starter, and 4x4 switch. The cooling fan does not come on either. I installed a new battery. Still no power. I do hear a clicking sound when battery is connected. This sound cycles with or without the key turned on. The machine does start with the pull start. Any suggestions?

I just bought this machine and it wasn't shifting into gear cleanly. I have been fiddling with the rods from the shifter to the transmission and now have reverse consistently, but can't get forward gears. I had lo forward before I start messing. Is there a trick? Some guideline to adjust to? Thanks for any help.,

I am picking the machine mentioned above and it has an exhaust leak at the engine. The previous owner implied it was just held on with springs, but I was curious as to weather there were bolts also and hoping that I don't have to deal with getting studs, out etc. Any advice appreciated. New to the forum and the world of Polaris's too. Thanks.

hey all. i just aquired a 1998 polaris explorer 400. the starter doesnt work. i tapped on the starter as i held the starter button in. it will turn over very slow. this was with my charger hooked up to battery. would my starter be screwed, or would it be the solonoid. when i hit the button i can hear the solonoid click. any ideas would be appreciated.
