Joe, there is supposed to be a foam sock filter on the end of the rubber intake hose where you put the tape. That will create the proper air resistance for the carb. You're welcome.

I remember back in the day when I bought a new one from the dealer back in 99 they told me the cams would go bad if you didn't use the special polaris 0w30 oil in them. I listened to their advice and used 0w30 Polaris oil since new and my dad has it now and it still runs like new. It has 28,000 miles on it. It is a sportsman 500 but basically the same engine.

Polaris tech tip. When diagnosing the fan simply unplugs under the passenger side fender well. Unplug it because it sucks enough juice to drain the battery in 5 minutes by its self. It will save on your cranking juice. Also the fuel “pump” is merely a device that only allows fuel to flow if the engine is running activated by air pulse. The fuel is gravity fed otherwise. The cams do get worn on these really bad as they aren’t oiled properly. Then go ahead on an add a jump to ground on the brown wire for the AWD so it’s never an issue. The factory mikuni carb is the best you can get. Only replace jets and parts as necessary . All the china remakes will never run right.

What would you advise on the engine oil? Is 10W40 motorcycle oil good enough to protect the cams or should you use some car motor oil for best protection since this vehicle doesn't have wet clutch? Some people above say to use 0W30 or 0W40 motor oil. Thank you.

Found a 180 main jet in it and got a 140 and it ran great then . What a pain it was and it is now back after a couple months with no spark . I was really hopeful you’d need to do more to that one . Wish I could come over and say help !!!! Also that’s one of the fastest ATVs I’ve rode .

Rubber (resistant to fuels) is normally attached to metals or nonmetals surfaces by the ad of painting the metal parts in areas where you can see it shall be attached. Let it dry. Apply the rubber part to the painted metal area and supply some pressure but mainly heat will do the cure. The paint is a special dedicated glue to ad/cure the contact areas

I worked for a Polaris Dealer back when these were new. They have had carburetor issues from the start. If your filter holder repair don't hold you can get that and the belt cover after market from Amazon. Back then Polaris did not sell oil they called for full syn after the cams started wearing out and atf fluid in the front hubs. You don't even need Motorcycle oil because there are no clutches in the engine and oil weight depends on where you live 10w30 is fine most of the time.

So Polaris engines are not that picky about the oil type? I have a Polaris Magnum 425 6X6 but since i've always heard that it always should be used Polaris oil in Polaris 4 stroke engines i haven't used any other oil. Is it the same for transmission oil or the oil in the front hubs for Polaris ATV's and UTV's too that you can use other oil types without any problem?

Inherited the same quad as a basket. Had to find a carb and throttle. Finally started but wouldn't run faster than an idle. I read this was indicative of a cam with a worn exhaust lobe. Pulled the cam and sure enough it was worn to almost nothing (how is that possible? Did the previous owner just idle the engine endlessly?). Anyway I replaced the cam and it ran fantasticly.
