Default 04 praditor 500 want start

I bought it with a few issues got to run I road it parked it got back on to ride wouldn't start not sure what's wrong or what to do I check everything I was told but the vavle clearance may be the issue. If it's to tight will that cause it to have low compression and the decompression cam ddeal not sure if it's good. Can you remove that. Pls help

Nope you can't. This is a shim under bucket system and unless you have a box of the shims,best to let someone adjust the clearances for you. I've had them drug into the shop that had quit running and first thing I went after was valve clearances.And almost all were tight. Got the clearance adjusted and they fired right back up.Spend the money for the valve adjustment if you have good spark and fuel supply and it won't run.If you want to read more about it here's the service manual. 2004 Polaris Predator 500 Service Manual PDF Download
