Default 03 Polaris 90 predator

Hi guys, first time posting, but I've come acrossed an issue with my sons little 90 I can't figure out. So here it is, quad was running fine kids were riding around trails and through a creek, then the predator goes down, long story short ended up changing out the stator, now won't start, if you shoot starting fluid in it starts up then dies after starting fluid burns out, it did start after we covered up the intake side of the carb for a bit then died again, I've gone through every part of the carb even bought a new one, drained tank, did it all again, still no results, any ideas???

I'd check compression next if you have good spark and fuel to the carb.That could be the problem or a crank seal leaking. These are what a lot of people over look.

Got good compression, brand new top end. Doesn't seem to want to pull the fuel from the carb. But there is good vacuum through the carb.

If I stick the fuel line straight into the carb it will run

Then you can have a stopped up fuel valve,kinked tank vent line,etc. You just have to eliminate one thing at a time until you find the problem.Polaris ATV Parts 2003 A03KA09CA PREDATOR 90 OIL TANK-FUEL TANK Diagram
