Glad it was helpful!

I bought an 05 like this that ran fine for the test ride, within 20 min of getting it home my nightmare began. Learned a lot fixing it, 3 years later its not had a single hiccup

Sometimes used units need a bit of love then they are good to go.

Word of advise to clean carb without removing it, if you can get it running a little, drain gas get a can of Berryman’s fuel treatment (the cheap stuff on shelf) dump a cup in with a tank of premium try and run it a little get the mix into the carb and let it sit 24hours and see if that works, Ive done it more than a few times and have NEVER been disappointed! Cleans those jet right out! Nasty hole in top end range gone! I live in California worst gas in the world for shelf life.

It may work but I like to take them apart and see what's going on. Usually jets require mechanical cleaning and an air blow.

So I think you should officially name that four wheeler Frank. Remember in the movie Cars…Frank was the combine…that Polaris is officially a Cornhusker😉

Cool. I'm a big king quad fan. I have two of them. Good luck on your search and thanks for watching.

Have u learned how to check the diagnostics? Neutral, key off, set e-brake, hold Reverse over ride button while u turn key on, that resets wrench light and gives resistance reading of each gear if u move shifter

I didn't know that. Thanks for the comment.

Ok, so asking because I don’t know and am new to this, is a 500 a good size machine for plowing and running on the ice with a portable fish house?

I would say yes.

Just watched a little bit more of the video and I'm going to say you have a mouse nest.

My Polaris has a shield on the muffler right where the plastic melted on yours.

I think there was a recall back in the day and it was updated at some point.

That back plastic melted due to no insulation on the back. I thought there was a recall on it back in the day. It'll just keep melting if you don't insulate it

Bad design. I think it has melted as much as it's going to.

@@GarageWorx I have a 2008 500. They updated the issue and I've had no problems. Yours is still touching the pipe( it seems so). You'll find out once it gets to full temp.

Yeah mice!

Hello new to the channel. You said you got a good deal can you tell me what a good deal is on this machine. I have a machine like it that I'm looking at it's not running.

Hard to throw out a number. In my area ones in good shape with lower miles run around 3g
