I’ve never been mechanically minded. Just saved myself a whole lot of money; brought a carb off eBay, watched this vid and installed it myself. Many thanks.👍

Ok, watched this 5 year old video yesterday, went home and replaced my carb. Not only was it step-by-step with the vid, but it went super smoothly and started right up. Thanks, Mossman!!

This has to be one of the better video’s out there showing how the throttle cable and choke cable disconnect. I purchased a new aftermarket carb brand new in the box for my 2002 Sportsman 500 HO on Ebay being I smelled gas leaking from the factory original carburetor for a while and now it won't start but turns over fine and has spark. The price on the replacement new carb was a no brainer. My only hope is that it is as good as the original that I also purchased a inexpensive rebuilt kit for. I am kicking it around whether to rebuild the old one or replace it with the new one like you did. Some people claim only a 0-Ring goes bad in the original carb causing the leak. What is holding me back at present is the fact I read elsewhere where someone replaced the original carb with a aftermarket and he found the jet to be a different size then what Polaris equipped the original carburetor with. Did you notice any difference in your Sportsman 500's performance with the new replacement carb? I didn’t see any brand name on the new replacement carburetor I purchased making me think it is a Chinese Knockoff but it looks exactly like the original on the outside from what I am able to see with my original carb still mounted to the engine. Just curious what your thoughts are and anyone else out there as to which way they went with a similar problem. Either way I will need to make a move soon. Just trying to not have to do the job twice if at all possible.

It's amazing what we can get on line compared to years ago when you didn't have too many options. Looks great.

Really helped me the carb removal for my 2004 Sportsman 500 6x6 (minor differences; space too tight to remove the intake manifold)! Many thanks!!

I took my 12mm to a grinder shaved it down and it worked beautifully to loosen that fitting just a tip for anyone that struggling with removal of the 12mm choke cable fittings 👌

Great video, especially the close ups! I found a good set of needle nose pliers work great for tightening the choke "nut" since a wrench cant fit on it

Exactly what I wanted to see. Excellent instructions.

Thank you. I also wasn’t sure how to get the throttle cable off. Got it done. Now I just need to buy a carb.

Thanks for a precise presentation and for speeding through the mundane parts. ,😂

Thank you sir! The wonder of modern technology.

Damn I love you mossman, every part I've had to replace on my 03 duramax, you've had a video showing me how. I bought a used Polaris xpedition and have to swap out for a new carb and what are the odds, you've got a video on that too!

Perfect that's what I needed to see very helpful...thank you .

Thank you very much! Could not figure out how to get that choke or throttle cable off of there.

Thank you for this video. was at a loss for how to get that choke cable off.

Great video, thanks for your help!

Good evening I have a 2005 polaris 6x6 ...that needs some work can I interchange parts from a 2003 that my buddy has laying around. Also do you have any websites that maybe helpful...thank you in advance for any help you may have.

Where does the first hoses you pulled off go to on the other end???

I'm new to these ATV/XUV's and one thing I'm realizing is that parts are expensive. I'm use to it though, I own a Harley and a Kubota. There all expensive. :)

Hi mossman, I finally got the new carburetor on my Polaris thanks to your video help, thanks. It runs good now but only with the choke on, do I need to adjust the cable in or out? I put the gas tank back on like a dumbass before I checked it so it's going to be a bitch to reach in there to adjust, any advice? Thanks man.

Hello my friend I have a Polaris Ranger 500 4x4 that does not work at all. After the examination, I found that the carburetor was overflowing with gasoline. I found the spark plug was flooded with gasoline and black smoke. I do not know the problem, is it from the carburetor or from the incompatibility of the spark with the rise and fall of the garden. please reply

did it help with the problem you where having ? Just a knockoff china carb?

I have an 2001 Polaris sportsman 500 ho and looks exactly like that carburetor.

Im having problems with mine stalling and not reaponding when i press the gas. The guy that sold it to me installed a new carburator, put new spark plugs and new air filters. Not sure what the problem is but its also not going full speed. Noticed that when its running if i pull the choke it goes a lil faster but still nowhere near where it should be. I put a full tank of gas and a lucas fuel injector cleaner. Do u have any idea what the problem can be. Also do they come with a governor and if so how do i cancel it? Mines is a 2004 ranger 500

Where does the 2 vents with the T go to?? Does it just hang down somewhere??

You know those vacuum lines on top of the carb? Where does the third line go to? can it just hang down or does it need to be somewhere?
