Does anyone know what the polaris part # for the HO cam is? I need to replace mine on my 97 500 as it wont rev and pops back threw the carb anything above 1/4 throttle..

Where is the best place to buy one?

 

Did they make an HO in 97?

 

No but im wanting to install the 01 HO cam in my 97 since im going to have to go in the motor.

 

According to parts list for 01 500 should be 3085855. They have parts manuals on their site , just have to register.

 

I own a 2000 sportsman 500 and placed a 03 500 HO cam in it about a year ago and havent had a problem yet. I bought mine off of Ebay

 

I see its 166.99 dealer cost on it. Can someone go over the installation?

 

check out web cams they make a big difference...

 

How do the web cams compair with the HO cam lift wise? Anyone have a chart comparison?

How much are the webcams? If anyone has the "hookup" let me know.

Where can I find the procedure to replace the cam on my 97 500?

 

The number is 3085855

 

If it was only that simple. The HO cam, or other race cam, is most likely going to require a new carb as well... possibly a new piston, intake, exhaust, etc.

Need to do your homework. The 500 HO vs regular 500 is different in more places than just camshaft. A race cam would make things even worse.

If you're planning to totally rebuild the engine, that may be a very good plan. But, if you thinking of just a cam swap, I don't think it's going to be just that easy.
