another question i have is ive been looking for a rebuild kit for my scrambler its a 97 and im having a hard time find one for my year but
i have found alot for 98-02 whats the difference between the 98 scrambler carb and the 97? and could i use the rebuild kit on my 97??

 

1998 is when they went to the bigger BST40 carb which is completely different than the1997 BST34 carb model especially on the float and needle and seat.I believe this was the first year of the HO engines in the Scrambler? My old memory might be a little off. OPT

 

Curious what you ever found to be the problem.. I'm having same issue with sportsman 400.

 

What are the issues you're having? Sometimes people just disappear from the forums..

 

2001 400 sportsman. Runs great until it gets hot, then dies and won't run until it cools off

 

That could be caused by several things,but I'd first check that the radiator is clean front and rear,especially around the fan area.If this area is dirty,the engine can over heat. Plus jack the machine up at the front,tires off the ground a little and leave the radiator cap off. Run until the fan cycles on and off several times to remove any possible air pockets. Coolant level should drop in the radiator if there is any trapped air. Top off the radiator and coolant overflow bottle and see if that solves it. This is just from the coolant stand point. Possible if this doesn't solve the problem,it could be an electrical breakdown or a mechanical problem,but eliminate the radiator and any trapped air pockets first.

 

It isn't overheating. It spits and spudders once it's warm. And it's still getting fuel. Seems as though its losing spark
