Hi There. I have a 06' Polaris Hawkeye the problem is it will not start in the winter unless it is in the garage covered up with a heat lamp underneath it!! Does anyone else have this problem?? What is the solution?? Ken. Atlanta Mich.

My Wife has an 08 300 that was hard to start till I found the secret. I now will turn the key and pull out the choke just a little, maybe 3/4 " and I can hear the motor slow just a little, then it starts right up. I used to use to much choke and it would just spin.

 

Probably the air fuel screw on the carb, it's on the bottom of the carb and may have a brass plug over it that has to be drilled out and removed with a sheetmetal screw, should be set at 2 to 2.5 turns out.

 

what was the carb update they did on the 06' hawkeyes? any way besides the high attitudes it helped running issues or starting? just a thought.

 

The main update were the replacement air box tubes to help eliminate water ingestion,changing fron cr7hsa plug to cr6hsa. Also the air/fuel screw is a d shaped screw to keep people from adjusting unless you have the tool (I have the tool,BUT stupid idea,since people have used needle nose pliers and such distorting screw,rendering tool useless!
