I have a Polaris sportsman 700 twin and can NOT get that thing to run.

We have looked all over it to find out why but to no luck.

To even get it to start we have to choke it and that's with it warmed up already.

Is there a way to run a diagnostics on the bike?

 

Carb clean,especially if have to use choke (probable jets stopped up or needle and seat varnished closed) PLUS if have champion plugs replace with NGK BKR7E.

 

We have tapped on the Carb to see if anything logged would come on out or w/e they did. If it needs cleaning then it should be taken out and done right? (I have no idea on how to do that kinda thing, i'm a computer person [TECH])

and if its not that then what could it be?

 

HAVE to remove and clean internally! If mechanically challenged OR dont want to deal with it just let OLD GOATS like me get it running for you.
Good luck

 

Lol, I think its time I learn to do something besides typing.

 

GOOD DEAL! Probably will find out easier than you thought! Good luck

 

check uu rubber boot between carb and motor 4 any tears, spray carb cleaner or brake clean on the boot and if the motor revs up, you have a tear in the boot. and if thats the case might as well clean the carb while ur there too

 

After my last message I went and told the guy that was helping me to check the carb again and turns out there was a major crack in the carburetor intake manifold (The boot thingy) so we used some sealant stuff (Red rubbery stuff) to seal it, used a lamp to heat it to help seal it, Took some bike tire inter tube and stretched it over it, along with some gorilla glue between the boot and tubing. After we was satisfied with it, put it back on and it worked great. Can't believe thats what was wrong. (We will get another later, we just needed a temp fix for a mud run.)

 

My 02 700 has been though 3 boots.if you have a 700 and it starts to run like crap thats the first place to look....

 

well if it is the carb..i found this stuff made my mercurey you know the boat moters..its called power tune..it will eat up any dirt grime sludge alomst anything..and it wont eat up any of your seals or rubbers....trust me it works...try that before tearing into the carbs if u aint fimulair with them
