I have a 2006 Hawkeye that hasn't run properly ever! Polaris and the delaer have left me in the cold. Was hoping to get some help here. Original problem was when the bike hit 15-20mph it bogged down and would spit and sputter with no power for climbing hills. Now it won't even start. I have spark and fuel flow. Any Ideas? Please keep in mind this is practically a brand new unit with only 137 total miles on it.

I can't believe the dealer hassles with the Hawkeye. I bought mine from the dealer and they had made the changes before puchase. Runs great, not a problem with this machine, and I work the butt off it with the tracks.

PS. In no way make any mods or upgrades until you have it running right. Take it to someone that knows atv's and bring it up to fac. specs.

Dealer had it in several times and claimed to make adjustments to carb. but it still continued to run poorly. Last time it was driven my son was driving it up a hill and it actually shut-down and he rolled it on the hill. Now the dealer tell me the the warranty is void because of the accident. Polaris will not respond to several letters. Anyway, do you folks think that the jetting issue would cause it not to start? I mean this sucker is just turning and turning but will not start. Everytime I check for spark, I have spark. I there something other than the jetting that is inherient to the Hawkeye line that I should be looking for?
