Unhappy help!

I have a 93 polaris trailboss 250, it keeps dying out on me after an hour of riding any thoughts on the problem?

Check ignition circuit. Sounds like something may be getting hot and breaking down. Fuel vent too, but I do not think you would make it an hour if that were the case. Never hurts though.

After cooling down does it start back up? Check compression if you can cold and after it stops,could be time for a top end. Check for fire to the plug also.

DITTO!!!!!!!!!! Most people mistake low compression for either a carb problem or a electrical problem.Most the time these 2strokers just need to be freshened up(most the time this is the cheapest fix)

you need at least 100 psi of compression which gets less when it gets hot.
