HELP! Is my carb the problem??
I just recently bought my 98 Sport. A few weeks later i ran it and wide open throttle i could barely hit 30 down hill! At first if i cracked the throttle from a dead stop it would give about 90 percent and hit the power band and pull to about 20mph or so, but when i try to punch it from a 10mph roll it won't catch the power band that it would. Now it won't hardly hit rap up and runs full throttle like 1/4 throttle was the weeks before. I talked to some people who own polaris where i live and they said they have experienced the same problem and deamed the problem to be the carb.
Are polaris carburetors notorious for acting up? And do these characteristics warrant a problem in the carburetor??

well if you just bought the atv and also its a 1998 model and you dont have in your hands paperwork indicating previous recent work maintenance on it, i for sure would take out the carburetor and at least tear it apart and give it a great cleaning or install a rebuilt carb kit.

when you say you ran it wot and couldnt do more then 30, is it because the engine wont rev up and no power or is it because it revs up and deosnt barely move? how does the spark plug look? that would be a good place to start to tell you if its running rick or lean. if you know how to i would also pull carb off to clean it and replace fuel filter and maybe even the fuel to rule these out. just a thought.
