I need my polaris friends to help me out. I got my son a scrambler 90cc 2001 used off a friend this machine is better then new. no use on it. any way i stored it outside in the garage till xmass then i brought in the house for the morning.. i took out side to start and run for him and it starts strong but it dies off. like bogs down to stall. no matter what you do it dies. i took plug out and it looks good besides from a little gas on it. after 10 minutes i re start and it goes strong for 2 minutes and then dies . if you give it gas it makes matters worse. need help please wife is pssed and 9 yr old wants to ride...

 

How old was the gas in it? Check air filter? If it's been sitting along time, the carb might need to be clean.

 

i checked the gas and its fresh gas . about a month ago old.

 

i was just riding it a month ago at my friends before i put in the garage. i can go outside right now and start it and it will run till it dies like it starving for gas . i stumped.

 

just wondering is it starving for gas ar is it fluding it self out? don't have a 90cc but mine for some reason was fluding itself took of the air filter and ran better try a air filter maybe. my 2 cents good luck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

How cold is it there? You may have to change the carb settings/jetting to get it to run. Does it run any better with the choke on?

 

I dont have a 90cc. But I've forgot to turn my gas dial on several times. Make sure your gas dial is on. There is a on/off and reserve position.

 

Hi luckycharms, welcome to the forums! It has been considerably colder here the last few weeks than in November. My LT was a bit cold blooded today when it fired up and ran fine in a bit warmer weather. I know it's ailment is lean jetting. Jets are cheap and usually pretty easy to change. If your gas is good, air filter clean, etc you may want to rejet and see wherre you are then.

 

Fuel filter?????

 

Got squirrels? A friends sportsman had similar problems and a squirrel had decided to store nuts in the air box! packed the thing full of leaves and nuts!
Sure you looked there by now, but thought it was funny, he was always bragging about how much nuts his machine had, I never thought it to be literal though.
