Default My 1993 Polaris Trial Boss 350L

Last year i bought myself my first ATV i got it for $800 but it ran like a piece of crap. The old owners that had it before me did not take care of it at all. i have had to put in almost $300 into it and now i have it running a little better than before. But then i noticed it has a really hard time idleing could anyone help me on this please i would really like to know why it is doing this. Thanks A lot

This could be caused by a number of things. Best to read over this manual as there is a lot to a 350 and 400 engine. Can be a can of worms especially of wasn't treated well by PO. Service manual can help you find the problem along with helping you decide to put any more $ in a 21 year old machine.Here's a link to a pdf manual. http://gh-ftp.com/ORV%20Manuals/Pola...e%20Manual.pdf

Polaris just goes back to 98 on their web site for free owners manuals that I've found.May be hard to find a free one,but here's the list of owners manual part numbers for 1990 models. May still be able to get one ordered through a local dealer. part # 9911856. 1990 ATV Manuals from Polaris ATV Parts, Apparel and Accessories 2002

Krylon Fusion if you want to go on the cheap side. I've seen some good looking automotive type paint jobs that didn't last because of the plastic flexing and cracking. Plus there are wraps along with after market suppliers such as Maier,but they may not go back that far on your model.
