Hi guys.

I just bought a used Scrambler and I was riding it around today with no problems at all. But then I started having a problem with the reverse. I dont know if it had to do with the AWD swtchj on the right control or what. This is what it does: When I put it in reverse it boggs down and I give it throttle and it wont do anything, it wont rev or move. And the idle sounds alot different then it does when its in nuetral or forward. Now it doesnt do this all the time. I dont know if its just a coincidence that it happens when I flick the AWD switch or not. Im new to this machine and dont know much about it. I cant even tell if the AWD is working... And I just read about the override switch so I need to play with that. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh and i drained and replaced the trnas gear oil after it started doing this to see if that would make a difference, but it didnt.


Also, when is the fan supposed to kick on? Havent noticed it yet.

Thanks!

 

You should have a yellow button on the left handlebar near where your thumb would fall. It's labeled "override".

It's some sort of safety feature so you don't go flying backwards unexpectedly.

Hold down the button, and you can now run about 30 mph in reverse!

 

I got a manual if you need any assistance. Got a buddies '99 Scrammy in the garage with cylinder off, going 1st over on the piston, and trying to get him to rat the unit out!!!

 

Thanks, but I got a Polaris factory service manual with it, but it doesnt help me at all. Lol.

 

THe bogging is a safety feature in reverse.Either use the override button or disconnect the reverse limiter.Find it box and unplug the black wire.

 

Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks.

 

Ok, it starts bogging in reverse whether its in awd or not. and only after I have been riding it for 15 minutes. I press the override and hold it works fine. If I ride some more after a few minutes it starts working again without the overide. What is going on?

 

bypass the reverse limiter.

 

Ok. Can you tell me where its at? And its a black wire?

 

under the hood the box with 3 wires.If not black try each one until u get the right one.
