2000 Trailblazer 250 --

Seemed like jetting/carb problem. Have rebuilt carb and jetted to hotseat performance specs. Now what I get is.

When in Drive, you can nail throttle and it will just sit and sputter and eventually take off after about 30-45 seconds.

When in Reverse, you nail throttle and it responds great and takes off like a scalded cat.

 

I'm no expert but I think that's a transmission problem.

This is my first Polaris and first CVT, so not familiar with it, and honestly not impressed yet.

 

Push the over-ride button and try it, if it runs ok then unhook the black wire that goes to the overide.

 

If you want something that will impress you then an 8 year old Trailblazer ain't it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

it was for my son (14yrold). I just didnt expect so many issues i guess since it is in great shape. Heck I have a Kymco 90 for my youngest and that thing has never given us a hint of trouble.

 

hey KERBBIRDS!!

You may have hit it on the head for me.......but dont see a "black wire" going into the handlebar assembly. I have two connectors that plug into the left switch assembly. but neither has a solid black wire. Do you mean the solid black that goes to the actual limiter assembly near the oil tank?????

 

i would have to agree with jumbofrank, it sounds like a transmission problem. if i was you i would ditch the older polaris and get your son something he needs to shift. much more fun! good luck

 

polaris does not have a geared transmission. all that gear box does it reverse which direction the chain turns: forwards or backwards. the only way that it controls anything is from the rev limiter which is what it sounds like. there should be a black wire going to the rev limiter under the hood piece.

That is the wire to unhook.
Dont let these guys on here dog your 250 Trailblazer.Get it lined out and then with a pipe and matching clutch kit it will impress anyone.
