nother sled issue

[Boar]

fired up the sleds tonight for a spin, got 94 polaris 650, no it dont have electric start. i put the back end on a jack stand to run the track a bit to loosen things. id throttle it a little to run it, the it seemed to not go back to iddle, stuck in gear so to speak, i had to hold the break to stop the track from spinning. i toom it out for a spin to see if it would work it self out. seemd to get a litt worse. if i didnt hold the break, it would just keep.going. any ideas?

It's all carb something. Start by checking to make sure your slides in the carb are not gummed up and not closing all the way. Air leaks at carb rubber boot mounts, or just a dirty gummed up carbs all together.

Did you try to adjust the idle screws at all yet?

It wants to go fast.

First things first. Check the throttle cable first for internal ice/moisture  or kinks. Spray some lube down into it, get some heat to it (hair dryer, etc) Try it after it's been warmed up. Still have probs? Proceed with leech's advice.

I was think of leeches, thought, but I went thru the carbs, and cleaned them good prior to starting this winter. its stila good thing to check and simple. we've had rain recently, ive thoguth that way as well, ill pick up some HEET deicer and spray stuff. thanks guys. different sled now to.

Definitely one of the things leech said. Quick way to check would be to get it into a warm garage overnight and see if it still does it. if not, then you would know it is moisture.

Jeff my friend....

This is a sled issue.

[Boar]

oh, yeah i can see that now, so then i have a sled inigma????lol

[dew2]

 On the side of the carb there is a set screw,It stops the carb slide from going  down to far so it idles right,Turn it out 1/2 turn at a time so the slide moves down to slow fuel intake till it idles at the required RPMs thats the idle adjustment,
 You have to have the sled running to see its idle and work the throddle so the slide goes down.
 You rebuilt the carbs? Sure you got the E clip on the needle in the center slot?

 Edit>>If its runnun and you drive it all it is , is idle adjustment is to fast

ok, thanks dew, it was fine on a previous trip, then we got some rain,  and slush, which i did not run it in, but was outside, when i fire it up last night on the jack stand, it idled just fine till one time.i hit the throttle a bit to loosen the track, and it stuck, it came and went on the ride but eventuly just stuck.

[Boar]

come to remeber when i pulled the carbs,  alls i ddi was open the bowls, saw that theywere sparkley clean clean, and.put them back on, did not tamper with any carb adjument screws or.jets took the bos off and put them back on and installed the carbs

Don't need that, Dew, just hope he  tries THAT first before he ends up wid a big  pile o' parts in the floor!!!    Maybe he will with BOTH of us tellin' him!!!!!!!!!!    

[Rebel SS]

Pour a shot of FIREBALL down that cable!!   

[Boar]

[Rebel SS]

Might be best if you'd stay away from anything with an engine.....

[Boar]

LMAO, hey I fixed both of them.

[Jerkbiat]

yah, that starter replacement was a piece of cake. 

[ray634]

Sounds like you need to pour 10 gallons of gas in the 6 gallon tank, light a smoke and toss the match as you walk away.
