Now that would be like owning a Ski Don't, oh wait you live down south where there isn't snow, owning a Polaris would be like...being a Kurt Busch fan, I couldn't even imagine that scenario!

There is a flip over switch under the seat by the battery.It is a black box for safty when your atv flips over or on it side ,it will turn the engine off.Sometimes on rough terrain it will shake it up and cause the engine to cut in and out.Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

 

about the check valve for the fuel tank, when i unscrew the gas cap it is under vaccum, i can hear it suck in when its loosened, has this happend to you guys too? and about that oil level, that happend to me, went nuts trying to find out where all that oil was dripping from turns out the the airbox it pressurized and if u have too much in the crank case causes it to come up, when you check your oil dont screw the dipstick in, just put in and pull it out, that should give you a more accurate reading.

 

I agree with frndinalowplace, check the check valve.

I found on my '04 that it was so restrictive, that when you stopped with a part tank of fuel (either the ride before was rough, or the outside temp was hot), then a lot of pressure would build up in the tank, and force itself into the carbs.

I just pulled the check valve off (it plugs into that black tank behind the rear taillight). Solved all my hard starting and stalling problems.

 

Oops wrong thread....

 

Polaris Is ok for you people In AL, where there are no hills but here in Utah <mountain country> We need better engine braking than your 2 wheel ebs that polaris offers.Its ok for farm work and flat land but on steep hills its no good.

 

any body figure this out yet? mine, just did it again to day. while it was doing it. i took off the fuel cap, no change, pulled the fuel line off of the selector valve turned the key on plenty of fuel shot out still wouldn't run above an idle. the only thing i can think of, is that the floats are sticking, but i didn't have any tools with me to pull the bowls and check.

 

rock, what type of AC do you have? I just brought mine to the dealers for the second time for this exact problem yesterday. Iam starting to get pissed because they cant find the problem, the reason is because by the time I get to the dealer the AC is running fine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] of course out on the real trails the thing runs like $hit......can any one post a pic of the check valve?, iam not realy sure what everyone is talking about. thanks for any help
