PS: Thanks for the awesome videos!!

Sheesh. You can tell Polaris didn’t put any thought in easy access for repair and maintenance. Lol.

I may or may not have cursed their name once or twice 👀. And it’s not just this one boys. Get used to it if you are a Polaris fan

It ran great last summer...💯

Can you tell me where you ordered the carb rebuild kit for your 500 Polaris Scrambler? Mine is a 2004 4x4. Mine has oily-looking gas in the airbox, and is hard to start.

I just got it off eBay for like 15$ if I remember right ! But I did buy the float separate off eBay too. Mine had a similar problem of gas coming out of the air filter !

Is there a extension for the intake tube boot mines short I need it to b a lil longer ..I have same one you have

From what it looks like on mine there’s the rubber boot and that goes to the plastic piece threaded on each side. So yes the piece that the air filter goes on is separate from the intake boot so it can extend into the air box you can see a close up at 5:49

I never thought of taking the handlebars off that will make getting fenders off so much easier.

Is that a full exhaust or just a slip on? And I have the same looking scrambler but my vin# says it's an 05.

The 7th digit in the Vin tells you what year it is.

I bought one. It has a new carb and petcock but it loses power and sputters only going up hills. It has me stumped.

Have you checked the valve clearances ?? If they’re outta speck it’ll do that and be really hard to start

i have a 03 scrambledoo 500 carb leaks from what looks like to be the fuel drain. i want to see if i can get away with taking out the airbox and pulling the carb out. ill see if it works

Same thing happened to me on my YFZ. As soon as you turn the fuel on it’s a constant leak. Check the float to make sure there’s no gas in it and it floats, if that’s fine it’s probably the float needle or bowl that’s not shutting the gas off

Did you replace the float needle ?? The carbs not shutting the gas off so it’s coming out the over flow basically so replace the float needle and possibly the bowl it goes in and that should stop it

@@wmack7283 if you look at the tip it should be pointy and still rubbery not dry but sometimes the ones in carb kits don’t fit properly and cause that. Same thing happened on my yfz I replaced it with a new one and it wouldn’t seal so try putting the old on back in and see if it leaks if it still does I’d remove the bowl it sits in and order a new one with a new needle possibly

What handle bars and light setup do you have on your scrambler and do you know where to get plastics for it?

@GoingGh0st

Жыл бұрын

I have the pro taper “atv mid” handle bars with the yellow bar pad and the light bar kit I put on it I tried to look for it on eBay and they don’t sell it anymore unfortunately. Plastics are pretty hard to find for this your best bet is go on eBay and try and find some used plastics in good condition

Mine is purple with a snake skin seat

You do not need to take handle bars or the cluster out

Great video....terrible music. Very good directions, but irritating beat.
