Absolutely fantastic video! Just got tasked with getting my nephews 400 Sportsman going after it broke and sat outside for 3 seasons. Figured start with an ignition and fuel overhaul but never worked on Polaris's. Fantastic, clear video. This was the first video I saw when I searched and I think I'm going to stick with your channel. No need to search for anyone else! A+. EDIT: Made the comment just before you tackled the throttle cable plate guard screws. ALWAYS keep a container of valve grinding compound on your shelf! For hard to remove screws dip your screwdriver tip into the compound. The steel dust bites into the surface without slipping. If you're really in a jamb you can use Vaseline and sand but make sure you have more of the latter in the mix. Works great!

Excellent, extremely clear video and explanation on removing a carburetor. So...to reinstall, it's a matter of just do it in reverse. Is there anything one should know about hooking everything back up? Thanks!

@MidNebraskaMotorsports 2 жыл бұрын

Nope, reverse order will work great! Make sure your fuel hose isn't cracked because you'll end up pushing a chunk of rubber off the hose into the carb. Super common issue after carb cleans. I need to remember to mention that in my videos. I do have a re-install video coming out sometime. I just don't remember when. Thanks for watching!

Just pulled the carb off my 2000 Sportsman 500 4x4. The steps are exactly the same. My carb looks a little different, it has a plastic throttle lever cover with 4 screws. Anywhoo, I was having some issues when putting the wheeler in drive and going anything over 5 mph. It would load up, loose power and backfire. My thinking was bad fuel, not getting fuel. Crazy part, it fires up, idles, and revs up in neutral just fine. Noticed a bunch of oil in the airbox, so I'm thinking the needle and seat are bad and it was just dumping fuel in the motor. Any thoughts or advice?

Great how to on removing Sportsman carb. EXCEPT for one glaring issue. At about 1:00 you said removing that plastic air duct may make it easier to remove carb. Yes, it is easier to remove carb. BUT, getting air duct reinstalled is a royal pain! It goes into a very flexible rubber boot that has no access on the left side - clutch housing makes access impossible on that side. I removed the air box, again, after having reinstalled it. At least then you can actually "touch" the boot, but still cannot access the left side of boot. 1 1/2 hours of frustration later with various tools trying to get boot around duct, finally got reconnected. The small extra time to remove carb was more than offset by the great difficulty in getting air duct reinstalled. If there is a "trick" to getting it connected, PLEASE include it in video. Otherwise, the video is wonderful "how to".

I can’t get a wrench on my 12 mm choke plunger nut. On a 99 Sportmans 500. Different carb. The way the nut is sitting a regular wrench cannot make the nut move because there is no okay between the wrench and the housing of the carb. I can’t even tighten it or loosen it. It’s in that perfect position to not be wrenched on at all. I’m pissed.

They can be a real pain. I would us a good pair of needle nose pliers. Get a good firm grip on it so you don't slip off. Otherwise, send it to me and I'll get it pulled off for you. Thanks for watching.
