New polaris owner here. I just bought an 03 Polaris trailboss 330. The bike has very low hours and sat for a long time. It starts and runs but won't idle so I'm assuming a clogged pilot jet. Can the carb be turned in its boot and the float bowl removed while on the machine? I haven't had a chance to really examine it yet. I'm assuming the side panels come off for carb access?

 

Not sure about the 330, but the 325 had to have the tank off to really access the carb.

 

yep tank off air box out ,mine had a simalar problem

 

I have a 2000 325 and I had the same problem. I found that the "ETC" contacts were touching. You can pop the top off the throttle control and see if yours has a set and see if they are touching. You can also start it and barely put your thumb on the throttle and see if it will idle. If so there is an adjustment nut about 1 foot down the cable from throttle that you can adjust to open the contacts up so they don't touch. I don't know if this will help you but you never know, it might save taking the carb. apart.

 

my old yamaha never could idle, we adjusted the air flow in the carb and that helped

 

You need to pull the tank and take the carb off to clean it right.

 

I cleaned mine and blew air thru the passages ,that helped

 

Man, thanks from Argentina! Suddenly my 09 Trail Blazer 330 stop idle and I thought it was a dirty carb and I was ready to disasembly everything until I read your post. You have save me a lot of precious vacation time!! Thanks again.
