2006 Polaris Outlaw 500 Will not start after a carb rebuild
I recently purchased a 2006 Polaris Outlaw 500. It had been sitting for 3 years, after about 10 minutes of trying to pull start it, it fired right up but would not idle. The previous owner said either going over the carb for a good cleaning or a rebuild would probably sort right out. When I got it home I pull started it again and after a bit of driving and warming the engine up it would idle and start up fine. After letting it cool it would not start again. I ordered an all ***** carb rebuild kit, cleaned out the carb, and rebuilt it. Put it all together and it will not fire. I checked everything i could think of but I am at a loss. I don't know if I should go over the carb again or what. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have spark(plus change the plug if you haven't already) sounds like you need to go back and recheck what you've done. Plus valve clearance needs to be checked/adjusted every 15 hrs on this racing machine. Valves set at .005 intake and exhaust. Every orifice/opening needs to be blown out thoroughly and you should be able to see daylight through the jets. Look over this parts break down on the carb for reference.If you need a manual here's a cheap one for 5 bucks. 2006 Polaris Outlaw 500 Service Manual PDF Download P.S. And obviously a fresh tank of fuel..
