I bought a 2003 sp700 from a buddy for $1500 but it had been sitting for around 5 years. I bought a new (ebay) carb and a battery and hit it running but it would die when giving it gas. The cdi or stator went bad in the process (ducati) so I replaced the system with the updated kit by Kokusan. I got it all together and it fired right up, idles right around 1100 but it wants to die when I give it gas still. I can actually get it in drive and go 20 or 30 feet but it starts to choke out. It does seem to be getting better the longer I let it run, but I wanted some opinions on what it could be. There's a real bad gas smell so I've been tweaking the carb but I'm not having much luck. I don't want to stress the machine, it's my first Polaris ever, so I'm timid about it due to not knowing what it's supposed to ride like. Any input is greatly appreciated!
