Polaris RZR 170 Carburetor Adjustment and Servicing

[@KajunDave]

If your RZR is still sputtering, this is what fixed mine! So I check the spark at the plug it was misfiring, I opened the factory gap until I had a constant spark centered on the electrode approx 40 thousand, in conjunction with adjusting the float for a lil less fuel in the bowl no more misfiring on acceleration or top in … thanks for the video I learned a lot from it

Absolutely amazing character sir, I love it. Thank you for helping us out, as now our kiddos can get back out there!

Gavin thank you so much!!

[@illtrax]

Thank you! Love how in-depth you go. Keep'em giggles going!

Perfectly detailed video! Good job! Do you happen to know where I can find something that shows me the correct throttlebody position? I took it out to clean it and take a peek and must’ve put it in backwards or something?? There is a channel it has to go through to seat completely but… Not sure it’s even a thing to put it in backwards? …but now the throttle does nothing. 😬

Did you check the service manual I linked in the video description?

[@HavasuLew]

@ yeah I looked through the PDF, but it really doesn’t tell you about the orientation of the actual cylinder itself. It seems it has guides on both sides, but the bottom is different. I even put a scope down to look inside and nothing really defining. This is what I always do… Take something apart that wasn’t even a problem and fųck up the whole thing! It was just sitting for a long time… Siphoned the turpentine… And still runs like an old lawnmower, even backfires which my kid seemed to really like as they took a video of a couple flames coming out the pipe! 😂😂 So now, instead of doing the things I should be doing… Like pulling the spark plug and fuel filter… I’m dealing with this bullshit. I appreciate you even responding! Most people don’t, and I am pretty diligent at answering my KZbin comments as well. 👍👍

Well done on the video.

Hey I have one but I already change carburetor and gas pump spark plug and it turns on but shortly after it turns off

These were all the steps I took to diagnose the fuel delivery and electrical systems… Polaris RZR 170 Won’t Start - Fuel & Ignition System Diagnosis, Step by Step kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIiXeYKrrrGAjrM

Hey Mike, So I pulled a few things apart on the razor 170 and no success, so it starts well and runs for a short time while riding it then it begins to lose power and we have to choke it to get it the the garage. We had the carb off and cleaned it awhile back, filter looks good pump obviously pumps, new gas. Any suggestions? We may try a new pump but I don’t want to just start replacing parts.

[@wafflesquare]

I guess I would diagnose what might be effected by the heat. I would check compression, fuel delivery, and spark at cold and hot starts.

Thank bide is great

[@wafflesquare]

You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful.

Thanks

[@wafflesquare]

You’re welcome!

[@junelittle287]

I just bought this about a month it starts by but as soon as I give a gas it won't go it's like it's choking can you please tell me what it could be thank you

[@wafflesquare]

Could be the carburetor or the fuel pump, both of which I replace and/or service in this series. I would test the fuel pump first.

[@davidsmit3136]

Nice video. These things are poorly designed... not sure there's such a thing as "perfect" throttle response and carb adjustments. I'm currently repairing mine which suffers from a poor air intake replacement which the previous owner did to mitigate a poor factory air intake. Fun fun!

[@wafflesquare]

David I totally agree! Thank you for sharing your experience.
