yes it does, it have set it to factory spec. about 1/8th inch gap.

 

You said you replaced the stator,cdi and coil along with checking all grounds,tether switch,etc?
Is this a Polaris replacement stator or aftermarket?(there have been some who used aftermarket stators that didn't work) Also you say you felt a "shock" when you turned the ignition key on? Have you ohmed out the switch to see if it might be the problem? Either it may be shorting out or the emergency kill switch may be the problem? OPT

 

well I got it running, and it runs well. however it will just barely move if you rev it to the moon. I took the belt cover off and everything seems to be fine. when it idles the driven clutch doesnt move, as you rev it it will start to rotate then when its close to redline the clutch will engage a bit and it will slowly creep forward....any ideas??

 

First off check if the belt looks worn or glazed on the edges,plus if it is loose on the clutches could be you need to replace the belt. If the belt is ok and tight, then you might have to check out the drive and driven clutches for roller or slide pad wear in the front drive clutch and roller wear in the rear. (manual highly suggested if you tear into these!) PS what did you do to get it running? OPT

 

The belt looks good, im kinda concerned because the drive clutch wont even start spinning until im up around 5000 RPM's. is that normal??


I took the drive clutch off and it moves freely in and out. but it wont when the engine is running. the belt sits almost on the front shaft between the drive clutch plates. is that normal? is it too narrow?

 

The belt should ride between both clutches evenly in the center. There is an internal engine centrifugal one way clutch that engages and places power to the drive clutch. At idle it will be stationary if I remember correctly. Still a belt change may solve the problem especially if it's the original one? It's the first thing I would do before digging into the clutches! OPT

 

I will get a new belt in the morning,

hopefully that will fix it. I still have to replace a cv boot and clean the carb as it started puking fuel out the overflow.......

thanks for all your help with this.. If the belt doesnt fix it I guess I will have to tear it apart and inspect the starter clutch next....\

how does that work, do the shoes inside it grab the drum then spin the clutch??

 

Yep, the shoes spin out and grab the drum which transmits power to the outer drive clutch when rpm increases. Funky system but takes a load off engine while starting up and at idle. OPT

 

well it wasnt the belt. just for grins I started it up and revved it up. I put my hand on the clutch and i could hold it stationary with my hand while revving it up quite a bit.


so deductive reasoning tells me its the starter clutch. the one way bearing it catching and hooking up fine.



is there any way it could just be binding up in side there or should I go ahead and order a new starter clutch now.


thanks for the help.

 

I wouldn't order any thing until you tear it down! You never know what it might be? Maybe something simple? OPT
