1999 400 polaris sport

the reverse is probably caused by a maladjustment on the shift linkage.
if the recoil doesnt turn the flywheel i would take the recoil housing off and see what is stuck shut on the recoil part or if the basket or cogs are still on the fly wheel. .....to follow up....it will not start at all...the fly wheel does not turn at all after tryin to put it in fwd. the fly wheel caused the starter to be mangled...any suggestion?...removing fly wheel? ceased pistons? something else

 

you need to be clearer on your posts. this is the second one youve done like this.
i cant tell if your asking a question. replying to somebody else and just made a new topic or are you asking a question then answering it!?!!?!

 

Ditto. The second one I've read like this too. Not sure if it's a question or answer. WTH?
