Old 2-stroke Polaris won’t idle. Fix!!!

[@nickdaniels1262]

Service manual goes a long way. That's the counterbalancer oil reservoir, lubricates water pump and oil pump. It holds a few oz of 10w30.

[@rileyalbert9398]

I have a 91 350 trail boss, similar set up, is that supposed to be empty because mine has a crank case fill port for oil and yes its a 2 stroke

[@breeherron6698]

where is the idler screw on the carb located?

[@jeffr1272]

I have the oil pump problem of dumping too much oil in mixture. How did you cut off or what do you have to do to bypass anything to just premix fuel? Thanks

[@thatmodshop7160]

Unbolt pump cover, disconnect your cable, drain oil tank of oil, mix fuel and go, I prefer 50:1 mix

[@joesellars574]

Where and how much oil do you put back in it or do you at all

[@larrywillard2489]

So is there not supposed to have oil in the crank case ? Mines full and it smells like gas and oil its blue oil looking stuff its doing the same idol as this video

My polaris explorer does not like to stay running in reverse. It starts and drives just fine, except in reverse. Have never had problems until now. Any ideas? Thank you

[@redneckcustoms5919]

Probably the reverse speed limiter

[@jkoco199]

@@redneckcustoms5919 that's the yellow button. I use that for plowing when in reverse. It wants to die in reverse. I'm putting a new spark plug in tomorrow. Other than reverse, it starts and runs forward just fine...

[@romeonaize537]

I also have the same problem shifting to reverse.

[@jkoco199]

@romeonaize537 I changed the spark plug and I installed a new battery. She starts up, runs, and now shifts perfectly!!

[@jandeband]

Mine runs fine, just wont idle, if i increase the idle it grinds the gears, runs very fast, but idle is erratic, what to do ?

[@camdencrotwell349]

I have a 96 that idles super highhh and when I pull the choke it bogs down also when I try to adjust the idle with the screw it does nothing at all could somebody help me out? I’ve read so many forums and nobody seems to have the same problem

[@DrDaniel98521]

Probably got an air leak or a bad crank seal

[@tomwatkins9805]

I got the same issue haven’t figured it out

[@brianboles5907]

Check in side the gas Throttle on the handlebars is the wire inside of the box Did throttle cable goes in

[@Imspeakingmyminds_tfu]

I have a 98 250 that idled super high after a new carb was put on, we got 2 new carbs that ended up not working and a throttle cable that claimed to be for my machine but was too long. So we got a carb rebuild kit for the old one I got water in, rebuilt it now the thing has to stay full throttle to barley idle it was running fine again for awhile but we could never find it's happy place with the air fuel it would always still bog when given half or more sometimes less. I figured the carb rebuild would solve that but I guess not still have yet to mess with it more.

[@cbossplayz3555]

Compression on thease are supposed to be minimum 115 psi

[@joesellars574]

Where are you located ?

[@roycenters1325]

i have a 2000 explorer it idle but while it idle it reeves way up all by itself

[@markw7587]

My experience with that issue was and air leak at the rubber boot between the intake and the carburetor.

[@grandcrappy]

I linda lije 'em. In a way the lesser powered 250 or 300 wouldn't have counterbalancer (correct?) or water pump so less parts to fail. A few hop up parts help wake it up.

[@joesellars574]

Where are you located ?
