I have a 2004 Polaris 700, pressure washed it the other day after getting stuck in the mud and it has not run right since. Seems to be running out of gas, checked carborator vent line it is clear. Using alot of gas, does not have alot of power when I let off gas for a couple of seconds it willl go again. Also checked line coming from gas tank it is flowing fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

sounds like carb is dirty...imo

 

did you get water in it any where like the air box. check the air filter to make sure its clean and dry. if its sucking more gas then the air is being cut down some how. imo

 

thanks for the info all of you, i had already checked all of those things, but you are not going to believe this,,, i got home tonite and got to looking at it a little closer and one of the spark plug wires was pushed down under the gas tank and the wire had a bare spot on it and was rubbing on the aluminum heat shield on the bottom of the gas tank and was shorting out,,,, i wrapped the plug wire with elec tape and put the wire back where it was supposed to be and no more problem,, i guess when i pressure washed it i must have pushed the wire down under the tank,,,, runs great now, thanks for the reply's ,have a good day, Bryon.

 

glad it was an easy fix. i would still replace that spark plug wire for sure.imo

 

Easy and cheap.

Just the way I like my women too.
