Polaris Trail Boss 250 Starter Removal

[@b20inside]

Thanks for your video!! I bought a 1986 traill boss 250 Res for 500$ and got in the process of restoring it.Your video help a lot

[@кактакполучилось-з8ф]

Привет, у меня тоже биг босс 4×6 250, старый, он у меня уже 15 лет, я купил его там поршень сломан и кольца, зажигание сломано полностью, хозяин сказал что он его в море нашёл, он со льдины упал, это было в 1993 году в городе пивек Россия, потом он стал жить в другом месте, и я его купил у него сломанный

[@raymondbrazel9903]

I just got one of these here in Australia, been sitting for years. I couldn't work out how to get the starter out. A big thanks, your video makes it so simple.

[@saywhat6453]

Change your CRANK shaft seals

[@scubasteev]

When reassembling, leave the top bolt off. Someone did that for me on my 99 trailblazer. I replaced starter without having to take clutch assembly off...and it's still good 10 years later. You do NOT need that bolt!!

[@thomaslaprade9620]

I drilled a hole to acsess those screws made life way easy ,,ill put a plug and silacone

[@zekestonekiller7456]

Yep, it really looks easy when you skip over the really hard parts. He doesn't show the removal of the bolt for the pull starter that is behind the rear brake linkage because it's almost impossible to remove. Likewise, he doesn't show taking the secondary drive sprocket off after it's been in place for 25 years, nor does he mention that you need a similar tool to the one for the primary, and it's a 1"-12 thread at least 7" long. I found out all of this the hard way.

[@joeblair995]

How did you get it off

[@mikerisher1536]

Thank you for taking the time to make this. It’s gonna save me a ton of time 👍👍

[@thomaslaprade9620]

Thank you alot easier than i was looking at,,i did cheat on that top bracket i drilled a hole threw the plack cover and bam acsess to tha stupid bolt ,,i did all but the bolts from recoil side so my next task is that and a new starter

[@tanner1893]

I was able to replace the starter on mine by taking the skid plate off instead of the belt assembly, and going from underneath.

[@fredgarven99]

Thanks so much a really good video and finally someone who actually says what size the bolt is. Thanks

[@pigseye2]

Great video. Thanks so much for doing such a great job explaining and showing everything.

[@chesterfield5704]

Great video. I will use it this weekend!! Thanks!

[@curtjackson5001]

If you don't want to take the clutch off you can take the skid plate off and easily get to the starter. I think its faster

[@AlestormMaiden]

i did that and there's one bolt left and i really cant get anything to it.. i think i'm gonna take the cluth off and see

[@Laynthelion]

How do you get the one starter bolt out on the clutch side?

[@butchortner6572]

Great job on your video. Question - where did you purchase your new starter ?

[@rudijones]

Thanks. Amazon

[@jharley811]

good vid, I did mine just like you said using the threaded rod clutch puller, but instead of the whole unit poping off the cluch unscrewed and the back pulley stayed on. kinda stuck now

[@rudijones]

Hey Jeremy, when you say the pulley stayed on do you mean the inside metal belt drive surface? It has what looks like cooling fins on the engine side right and juts a spindle sticking back at you? If that's the case it should have threads inside it as well from what i remember. If you use the clutch tool again it should pop this portion off as well as long as you can use a block of wood or something to stop it from spinning while you crank on the Removal tool.

[@markjeepingful]

Thanks for showing us how!!!

[@lorettacaputo6997]

It seems like I have a bad starter on my 96 2 stroke polaris 400 sportsman. I am familiar with the removal of the starter, but I am considering doing a rebuild of the unit considering that either the brushes and or hold down springs are bad. Trying to minimize the teardown time and effort especially the recoil side with the chain that is in the way of its removal. I am wondering if I could access the end of the starter just from the primary secondary side and open the starter to replace the brushes and springs while it is still on the engine. It would be a time saver in the long run, plus save me some money from getting a new starter when I know that the bendix is good.

[@earlparker4208]

GOOD VIDEO MAN ***** THANK YOU .!.!.! VERY HELPFUL ....

[@tyhill3280]

What kind of clutch that is

[@bobpage6867]

Great video., Thanks for posting!

[@nerdwell5318]

Very nice video, very clear.

[@baconstrips31]

How did you get to the long screw on the recoil assembly? The one behind the brake

[@wadehgarrett9269]

Thank you.

[@caillouthesender8093]

What keeps the benndix from being loose mine is loose and when the starter spins it it grinds

[@fornsphin]

Sounds like the gear teeth are stripped out

[@jesuseduardovalenzuelavale9862]

Me podrías decir la medida del tornillo que usaste ?? ❤ pliss

[@kenethrobles4705]

Es de 3/4 rosca fina, 16 hilos por pulgada

[@kenethrobles4705]

El tornillo de 4 pulgadas de largo y el perno igual de 4 pulgadas, el perno es de 5/8 busca un tornillo de grado alto o un birlo

[@backncardr]

Having to do this very job on my Trailboss 1987 model, fortunately I have already purchased the removal tool. What a piss poor design and not just the starter blarney.

[@fornsphin]

And this is why I will NEVER buy another Polaris anything.

[@_AlejandroGonzalez_]

Exactly what I was thinking. Made that mistake once but never again. Had to replace the starter on a Polaris magnum 325. Boy was that a pain in the ass. I also had to replace the carb. Absolutely no room to tune it at all. Runs good enough but not perfect but It barely ever gets used so I don’t care about it.

[@wisco-lad]

Is a trail boss 250 the same as an explorer 250?

[@rudijones]

Very similar.

[@cesarjuarez2987]

Minute 2:42 what measure of given is plis Thank you

[@TWhite864]

Thank you so much

[@dustinday8590]

Is the starter assembly the same on a 1990 polaris 250 trail boss 4x6

[@rudijones]

Dustin Day - if I had to guess I would say it is the same but I would confirm with the starter supplier first or the Polaris dealer if you are getting the starter from them.

[@dustinday8590]

Ok thank u

[@shanegriffin9254]

Do anybody know what the bolt that shows at 12:40 is , I’m missing it and don’t know what it is

[@connersnow298]

Nice vid

[@itchyprince3793]

Will this work on a 1992 trail boss 4x4?

[@fornsphin]

Yeah, they're pretty much the same.

[@eliabclemente7378]

Does it work for a 2001 trailboss 325cc model?

[@rudijones]

Eliab Clemente it might but I can’t say for sure

[@alextootill1569]

Anyone know how to respring the recoil starter???

[@saywhat6453]

One of the atv parts companies has videos for installation ✌on the internet

[@antoniogonzalez5826]

Good video 👍

[@HorsepowerHouse]

Trying to find where the other brown ground wire goes from the stator up to the CDI and Coil up front? I know the one goes to the Coil ground up front. But there is a second short brown wire that splits off from that wire. Where does it connect? I can't find anywhere. Been searching the wiring diagram as well. Googling everywhere. Can't find it anywhere. 2006 Polaris Trail Blazer 250. See my video for what I am referring to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJq1kJiHar2ffM0

[@thomaslaprade9620]

I will seal hole with a plug and siacone

[@TheRealOman]

Great video, with that being said, that is the dumbest design I've ever seen in my life!!! Buy a Honda, they actually know how to build ATV's!!
