ok i got it all fixed you are right the newer clutch covers are stronger i tightened all the mounts and went over the whole thing when i replaced it i noticed that there is alot of gas that comes out of the lines that come of the bowl and the line off the top of the carb and i always have a puddle under it is there a way to stop that all i smell is gas

 

if you didn't install a new carb kit or at least a needle and seat,probably the reason for all the gas. Plus the brass float arm should be level with the carb body when held upside down.Also if the float arm and pin are worn and wobbly,might be time to replace them too as they don't come in carb rebuild kits. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARB-REBUILD-KIT-POLARIS-TRAILBOSS-XPLORER-XPRESS-300-/270464197468?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ef8ec235c&vxp=mtr

 

Thanks for all the help like i said never owned a polaris but i got a good deal i couldnt pass up again thanks

 

took your advice bought the carb rebuild kit now i need some help adjusting it they were wrong in the first place. it has an adjustment on top of carb for the throttle cable and choke cable that was messed up and also the air and throttle screws on the side the pix on here didnt help were is the best place to start adjustments on some they get turned in the whole way and backed out 1 1/2 turns but it dont work for this im clueless now

 

Throttle cable adjuster on top of the carb "normally" has about 1/2-34" threads showing on the adjuster after you tighten the lock nut down,then adjust the tension at the throttle cable on the housing itself to where you have about 1/8" slack only. Item 11 is the split cable going to the carb and oil pump. Make sure when you press the throttle lever the oil pump lever is pretty closely timed to the action of the carb slide.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse Turn the choke cable adjuster in or out to where you have about 1/8" slack at the choke lever,then tighten the 10 mm lock nut on the carb.Normal air screw setting is 1 1/2 - 2 turns out from a lightly seated position.More turns out,leaner on idle jet,inward on screw is richer on idle mixture. Just experiment to where it's doesn't bog or hesitate when you give it throttle from an idle position.The big knurled screw is the idle adjuster. Just turn it to where you have a steady idle.

 

thanks alot for all the help im not trying to be a pain. works good now
