It ran fine before I parked it for a few months, now it won't start. Its has spark, and getting fuel ( fresh fuel ). My only guess now is the valves need adjusted but I don't know what the clearance should be.
2000 Sportsman 500 carb cleaning question
Removed the carb and cleaned the living bajebus outta it
Installed a new oring on seat under the float( needle seemed in great shape)
Reassembled and still getting the over leakin by (bottom line on the carb)
My question is does the line hanging lower then the carb cause it to siphon and does it have to be elevated to have the line above float level to create a float back pressure
How do you add pics to these post?
Lol

Reverse the rims, out is in and in is out
I was thinking wheel spacers but the ones I bought do NOT fit the rear stock rims.
But I did find out, you can bolt them on and they fit properly backwards. Since tires are rotating only one way, they need to be moved to the other side to keep turning the same directionality,
the rears clear and my width is now 55 inches from tire edge to tire edge.
The front rims bolt on ok, but the tire air valve hits the brake caliper. So you would likely have to drill a hole on the other side of the rim.
I looked into trail width restrictions and it seems this is less of an issue today than earlier. where it was set to 50" max width.
The pic shows it mounted reversed, and it seats flat on the hub.

Power loss
Yes I’ve picked up an old 2003 600 twin. It has sat up over 10 years. I have completely rebuilt it and it’s looking great and runs great except. At 35-40 with full throttle it stops increasing speed. You can hear it reving down but keeps running great at 40. Any ideas what to check next. Thanks
Snowmobile vin help please!!!!

L not showing on screen
When I shift into low gear it no longer shows the "L" or AWD symbol on the LCD screen. All other gears and info work. Wondering what causes this.
explorer 400L/water in combustion chamber
Hello,
I recently rebuilt the top end, started and ran on bench for total of 1/2 hour, it was basically for about 5 min till engine was good and warm then let it cool then repeated 3 more times for total of 20 min.
Everything seemed perfect.
Next day started it still on bench and it ran for 1 min. and then it died. Wouldnt restart. Pulled plug and soaked with water.
Pulled it apart again and put new headgasket on it. Back together and still wont run because of water in cylinder.
Pulled it apart again had head machined. New head gasket and then back together.
Started engine ran great for 1/2 hour in 5 min. increments
Came out next day and started it. Ran great for a min and then water in cylinder again.
I have drained the crankcase and got a little residual fuel out of it.
I drained countershaft and originally got some water out of it (assuming it accumulated from many river crossing over the years I have owned it and my ignorance in not knowing that this two stroke has engine oil in it to lube counter shaft bearings)
After starting I again drained both areas and have nothing in them of any significance. (of coursed it was only run for 30 min and so not much might have accumulated n that amount of time)
The pull start area has no water in it although before rebuild it did.(assuming that was also from river crossings)
Questions.
Could I be getting water into combustion chamber from leaking water pump seals?
Could my break in procedure be causing the problem? ( short multiple run times )
Should I have taken it off the bench and ran in for half hour in one shot under load instead of the multiple 5 min short runs that i did.
Thinking that maybe since i warmed engine up and cooled off multiple times wthout retorque on head as opposed to starting and running for half hour straight then letting engine cool and retorque that this might be the issue.
Any thoughts would sure be appreciated, I am about ready to make a boat anchor out of this thing.

Not sure what parts I need…
I bought a 1994 trail boss 300 4x4 for a project I am working on and have ran into some issues that I am hoping someone can help me with. First of all, I cannot see that they made a 4x4 trail boss in 1994. Local Polaris store looked it up and confirmed it was a 1994 trail boos 300. Second, the front axles that came on it are splined, but the hilliard clutches I bought for it are keyed. Third, I purchased a set of axles for it, which are keyed (thinking the previous owner was trying to swap parts and had put the wrong axles on it) but the keyed axles I now have are to short. Guess I should have done more research into what I have before I started ordering parts.
I only have half the model number (W948...)
The vin is *2312459*
I don't know if someone was trying to Frankenstein the front end or what, but I need to figure out what I should have so I can order parts. Hopefully someone here can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Just picked up a polaris 250 was told it's a 93 trailblazer. I've looked for a vin to verify this info all I can find is a 7 digit number stamped on a plate welded to the frame on left side front of motor. I'm also gonna need some mechanical advice as it doesn't run. It has spark and will turn over but will not start on starter fluid sprayed in intake.
