Hey Folks ,
I have an 89 Polaris Sprint that I have owned for the last 2 years. At the end of each season I'd drain the tank and let the machine run until it ran out of gas. So far that has worked. However the start of this year the machine would start however not stay running at idle. If I try to keep it running using the throttle it would eventually die. I pulled the carbs and cleaned them following the great carb cleaning write ups in this forum. Set the pilot air screw to 1 turn out. I also replaced the fuel lines while I had the carbs off.
I still have the same behavior as before cleaning the carbs. I can get the machine started using full choke however after turning the choke off the machine will not stay running. I pulled the plugs and they are wet , so I assume it is not a fuel issue. I tested the plugs and they have good spark.
I double checked everything using the write ups here and can not find out what is going on.
Any idea's ?
