I am looking for a workshop manual for my polaris diesel it appears that they are like rocking horse manure,anybody got one ?

 

"rocking horse manure"???????

For starters I would search Ebay.

I came very close to buying a new Diesel years ago when they first came out. However by the time I decided to, the Dealer trashed-it using it around the yard towing stuff. With the worn tires, dinged rims, and super-scratched fenders, there was NO WAY it was worth the price of a new one.

Living in the North East the big drawback for that Diesel was no glow plugs or engine block heater offered. Also, I can't remember if EBS was offered in that year.

Still, it was a neat concept imo.

I think Artic Cat currently offers a Diesel ATV.

Good luck with your search!

Arctic Cat does have a Diesel, and it works great for most applications. Dont expect it to be a dune racer tho.

We use one all the time for work stuff, and you can burn about seven types of fuel in it from bio diesel to jp8.

 

I have already got the polaris diesel just want a WORKSHOP manual can any body help ?

 

I tried a search on EBAY for you, as I earlier recomended, and came-up empty handed.

Have you tried calling a Polaris Dealer?? Maybe they have one collecting dust on the shelf. I'm quite sure you could get one dirt cheap.

Thanks guys, I rigged up a fuel line with filter,bled it through cranked it .....nothing turned over ok and it sounded like a car with a broken cam belt so of came the rocker cover to reveal a broken bolt which holds down the rocker shaft part of which was still in the head,out came the drill to drill a hole in the broken bolt i started to drill and the bolt went down into the head even further,rats i thought but hang on it might have gone down on the thread in the head or it might very well be stripped,so ever optomistic i reground the drill so it would dig in when the drill is reversed it worked and screwed the broken part of the bolt out replaced bolt, set tappets and then I turned it over have now got compression but not enough to fire it up.A sniff of easy start and I have a runner,not too smokey or noisy but it looks like a strip down.
Hefty lefty I was able to down load the complete Yanmar workshop manual from Daws downloads for free .Also there is a chinese copy yanmar on ebay for £350 very tempted but you only get what you pay for, not sure how to put photos on so you guys could have a laugh. Will keep you posted. Steve
