i just got a 1996 300 xplorer 4x4 2 stroke, this is my first polaris. i got it home and was doing some visual inspections, popped the plastic off the right side, looking there i noticed a small gas line running from the bottom of the carb (just guessing, overflow) down to a nipple just above the dipstick on the transmission, deciding to drain the transmission i got mostly gas from it, probably 90%gas 10%oil. i'm really concerned about this, can anyone explain this? also what fluid can i use to put back in the transmission?

thanks, Greg

 

sounds like someone put the overflow hose in the transmission vent....

 

it shouldnt go from carb to the tranny overflow from the carb hooks to nothing.

 

The tranny vent runs up by the carb I would say someone put it on the overflow instead of the 2 hoses with the check

Could you explain where the tranny vent hose runs to a little better so i'll know where to put it?

From the back of the tranny up by the bottom of the gas tank
