Joe, there is supposed to be a foam sock filter on the end of the rubber intake hose where you put the tape. That will create the proper air resistance for the carb. You're welcome.
Joe, with your spark plug tester, can you show what a fouled plug looks like at revs
Vinnie is a happy boy...
@@ricksmith4736what a random ass reply😂😂
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨How many Wheelers do you got already in stock? 🤣🤣 you gotta be buying more then selling 😅🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
That just never happens... loll
Interesting bit of kit Joe,love it brother!👌🤝
I'm seventy five and never had a ATV or Bike but for some reason I truly enjoy watching your videos. Maybe it's your calming voice how you narrate the work you do but it's addictive. Keep up the great work
get urself a Raptor and pull some grandma fluff
Hee-hee, I've noticed the calming voice myself at various moments. I've occasionally viewed these videos totally alert and sat back on a sofa, and then found myself hearing but not seeing anything. Then I open my eyes. 😊
I love your little interactions with vinnie, he's a real character.
Yesterday I fixed an 03 Honda rincon for a buddy of mine. 5 of 6 bolts came loose inside the motor and ate the stator for breakfast. That was a fun one 🤣 my back is killing me today, I’d WAY rather just watch Joe wrench today! 👍
My dad currently has the same quad from 1995. It is bone stock and has over 4k hours on it, and has never needed anything but gas and oil changes. Most reliable quad I’ve ever seen
Doubt it but nice try brother!🤔😬👁👁👎👎🤝
@craigmorgan4676 nope 100% true best quad I’ve ever owned. Finally after 30 years of hard work the transmission is finally going. It has been worked it’s whole life and never gave us any fits
Great fix😊
Mine is a 91 and been great
My cousin had one identical to this back in the day when they were new. He was a hardcore Polaris fanboy in those days, but all I remember of it was him CONSTANTLY fixing on it because it wouldn’t run or the 4 wheel drive had quit again or something. He doesn’t run Polarasses anymore! 😂
In the the mid 90s we had to pull Polaris' after they got wet because the belts would slip they was definitely junk in those days . There actually good fourwheelers now
@@michaelmays9292 Still junk
Nobody "could" fix this 😂😂😂😂 nobody wanted to take the time to fix this pile of crap
@@NightTakesFlightyeah I’m still not a fan of Polaris. I like my Japanese stuff, it just runs forever. My 87 moto 4 still runs like a dream.
@minnesotatomcat same, I like my YFZ450R and my TRX250X, my brother picked up a 04 Predator 500 and it's just been a chore, still gotta fix the leak to the carb
I remember back in the day when I bought a new one from the dealer back in 99 they told me the cams would go bad if you didn't use the special polaris 0w30 oil in them. I listened to their advice and used 0w30 Polaris oil since new and my dad has it now and it still runs like new. It has 28,000 miles on it. It is a sportsman 500 but basically the same engine.
manufacturers oils (BMW SEAT VW etc)
are often good invoices, manufacturing,
Avoid returns to after -sales service of their vehicles.
The boots and shorts combo, that is quite the fashion statement
Your calm ,civil ,git it done additive,good editing and camera work make your channel a real pleasure to watch.
Joe, I really admire your dedication and determination in getting these machines, bikes etc. running again and really everything you set out to do, accomplished! You're showing that hard work yields satisfying results! Thanks for sharing & God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏻👊🏼
Cant blame him for picking that muffler haha. Unless its a Honda i find older atv exhausts are either hard to find or they're so expensive its not even worth buying.
Morning coffee and Joe’s fix. Becoming my morning routine!! Keep the videos coming Joe!!👍🏻
Someday, you will meet a girl.
@@billhenry7833someday you will also
Polaris tech tip. When diagnosing the fan simply unplugs under the passenger side fender well. Unplug it because it sucks enough juice to drain the battery in 5 minutes by its self. It will save on your cranking juice. Also the fuel “pump” is merely a device that only allows fuel to flow if the engine is running activated by air pulse. The fuel is gravity fed otherwise. The cams do get worn on these really bad as they aren’t oiled properly. Then go ahead on an add a jump to ground on the brown wire for the AWD so it’s never an issue. The factory mikuni carb is the best you can get. Only replace jets and parts as necessary . All the china remakes will never run right.
Polaris Tech Tip...Scrap it and Buy a Honda or Yamaha! 😁💪.

Any idea or tips for my atv?
What would you advise on the engine oil? Is 10W40 motorcycle oil good enough to protect the cams or should you use some car motor oil for best protection since this vehicle doesn't have wet clutch? Some people above say to use 0W30 or 0W40 motor oil.
Thank you.
Polaris tech tip "the cams wear out because they arent oiled properly" 😂😂😂😂 polaris is garbage.
@@paul340mopar Really...how about CanAm? I'm looking at one
That plug tester is super cool!
2V, you landed a winner! When looking at that complex air box you can see some real tuning prowess went into the design. Live and learn! Great rescue! Congrats!
I could watch your videos every day.
There are only a couple of channels I could say that about here on TH-cam.
Great job Mister Joe.
I just finished rebuilding a 1996 425. Cam ended up being wiped out on the exhaust lobe. You got lucky with this unit in very good condition. Thanks for the content
A lot of ppl don't run right 0w40 is only thing good for these
Vinny shook his head no right from the start. Vinny always knows.
The way I found your channel was a video you did on a Magnum 425 right after I bought one. Very good timing for another 425 because I can't get mine to run currently. This was a nice refresher on some of the things to check and how to fix them. Thanks for the video
My father in law had a magnum and it had somewhere around 30000 miles on it! Was a damn good wheeler.
That spark plug tester is cool as heck
Nice you found an honest seller after some of the less scrupulous guys you've dealt with. The package of the KTM and this one was a winner. You had a couple of relatively easy and cheap fixes and can make some money on them. I don't ride ATVs or motorcycles but really enjoy your patient and thoughtful approach to fixing these machines. I've learned a ton! Great content as always!
Logical sequence, spark, compression, fuel, timing and patience. Good job!
thanks Joe for the help. I have 425 magnum 6x6 i had hard time tuning it this video really help thanks again!!!!
Wow, That thing is a survivor!
The Heading on this video is what one would call click bait. Nobody could fix this. LOL funny man.
Great find for your fix. Had the same thing on a 2 stroke atv I fixed 12 years ago. I had to zip tie a rag between the carb and filter. Weird it needed more resistance for the carb to work correctly.
😮great video Joe keep them coming man
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Great job on the repairs. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thanks Joe. Enjoyed the video and learned something. 😊
You sir are a saint . You have a new subscriber for this video alone . I’ve just wasted a day trying to get a proper answer online about this and exactly where it’s located. And at last I come across your fantastic video . I’m positive after tomorrow all will be fine again in my motoring world, thank you so much 🙏🏼👍
Recently came across your channel and i must say im highly impressed with your mechanical skills and i absolutely love watching your videos they are definitely entertaining and informative.
Put clear silicone over seat hole. New sear cover over that, good to go cosmetically.
Got a great deal. I would still look into a new airbox. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job buddy you always do amazing work i enjoy watching you go at it
Everything is perfect...just perfect! PERFECT!!
Bravo, with some tinkering you got it huming nicely
I think Vinny was a little more interested in playing on that beautiful day 👍
well done Joe fixed it, maybe somones shortened your air box rubber end, or mixtures out more petrol for amount of air comming into carb
My first quad was a 330 magnum. What cold blooded pig that was! But low range on it was an absolute beast when i had to pull anything. Never again will i go back to a straight axel utility quad though, my back couldn't take it on the trails. Love your content from the UP of Michigan!
I saw his one with the bike on the back of the truck I hoped you’d work on it today . I’ve had one for a year trying to get it right . Would die backing up wasn’t cutting out in reverse fan great idling around but full throttle or against a hill it would cut out I totally went threw it new valves cleaned carb new cam everything was good new fuel pump coils stator still ran crappy got a used regulator CDI and Rev limiter still crappy . Found a 180 main jet in it and got a 140 and it ran great then . What a pain it was and it is now back after a couple months with no spark . I was really hopeful you’d need to do more to that one . Wish I could come over and say help !!!! Also that’s one of the fastest ATVs I’ve rode .
I really enjoy these videos! Looking for my own atv project
Sometimes I think vin is the real star , and you are the comedic side kick😅
i have had the same issue on my quadrunner 250 and it was my carb bowl gasket was not sealing properly anymore as soon as i changed it it ran like a charm
Happy Days Joe Has Posted 🔥🔥🔥
I have absolutely no interest in the machines you fix, but your explanations about how these work is fantastic. Your knowledge is incredible.
I had a similar issue on an old Kawasaki street bike with CV carbs. I replaced the air box with Uni Air Pods, and the air flow was too great. I blocked about 75% of the Air Pod with aluminium flashing, and it ran perfect.
You make everything looks so easy
I had a 94 Sportsman two stroke. It was stolen off our property. I put a lot of work into it and that think would rip. I miss it ever since.
This could become a good backup utility machine when you do landscaping, gardening, ice fishing, etc.
Wow, great job, and great video!👍🏻
nice find you cant get much for $200 now a days -- great video like always ---
I had the exact same problem did all the same things you did to try and fix it though it was my air box
Turned out to be the intake boot o ring was sucking in just a bit of air . Runs perfectly now maybe give that a try
Another win! Well done guy
I know people hate Repairis quads. I've had good luck with them. Great vid.
It's lean. Loose airbox allows in more air. Go up a size on main jet.
The few times I've pulled the carb off my of my 500 Scrambler that polaris carb mount as aggravated me, thankfully this one is a bit easier than the scrambler
Man for how young you are you know tons about how these machines work, I know you look Alot of stuff up but for doing this on your own for so long you always get it right 👍 you inspire me to start my own business doing this stuff but in the area I'm in it's very unlikely. I always enjoy your videos and learn from them your the best man I very appreciate you and what you do,, and congratulations to finally having a family bro not many you're age get to have a wife and child. You are the best 💯👌👍👍 keep wrenching my friend.💯
Thise tractor mufflers work quite well on atvs surprisingly. I have one on my wolverine with the combination of a mower one at the back of the atv. Its so quiet you can hear the air being sucked into the carburetor.
My grandfather has that quad. It’s a pretty nice machine.
Sweet score Joe! Minty!
I worked for a Polaris Dealer back when these were new. They have had carburetor issues from the start. If your filter holder repair don't hold you can get that and the belt cover after market from Amazon. Back then Polaris did not sell oil they called for full syn after the cams started wearing out and atf fluid in the front hubs. You don't even need Motorcycle oil because there are no clutches in the engine and oil weight depends on where you live 10w30 is fine most of the time.
I have the 2x4 2 stroke version of that quad. 94 Polaris 300. It’s a pretty reliable machine
I need another 400 but mine was two stroke I do still have a 250 trailboss live that beast
Had same top end problem worth my Sportsman 500. Carbs are really sensitive to air leaks and tuning. You must have the airbox on when adjusting carb
fantastic !!!.. it can also be simple Joe.. Vinny was very excited.. still honest sellers who don't rip you off .. the only thing I would replace is the silencer.. top Joe.. you deserve it really..ps..how is the ATV right outside your garage? engine...I'm really curious about...greetings
Another great video Joe. Heck of a deal for 200 buck's!😊
Now that was a bargain find/fix Joe!!
Did a top end on one of those Magnums for my brother in law, was a big pain in butt.
Another great deal. That has to be the best $200 You've ever spent. Ya it's gonna need some tires and that clutch cover. But, regardless what a good buy. Excellent work Joe💪😎
Sure hope you have a cover for that clutch , left leg damage in future if not.
Another great video. Maybe you should experiment with some plumbing pipe and develop an airflow reducer to sell to Polaris owners as a plug and play fix
Great bit of work
Rubber (resistant to fuels) is normally attached to metals or nonmetals surfaces by the ad of painting the metal parts in areas where you can see it shall be attached. Let it dry. Apply the rubber part to the painted metal area and supply some pressure but mainly heat will do the cure. The paint is a special dedicated glue to ad/cure the contact areas
27 minutes in, and man I think this may be the best 200 bucks you've spent yet!! What a score! (Let's see how the rest of the video goes, but man.. for what you're into it, amazing!)
edit: ok 37 minutes in now.. and man.. it has SUCH good compression, it fires RIGHT up.. sounds SO good with the intake off.. I can't wait to see what the heck is going on.. I sure hope it's not the cam lobes.. I mean it's under 4k miles wth!?
Solar panel electric fence will work great for your garden 👍
anyone else hoping they are not the next person to take off that oil filter? lol.. wow, joe. cranked that thing on..
Inherited the same quad as a basket. Had to find a carb and throttle. Finally started but wouldn't run faster than an idle. I read this was indicative of a cam with a worn exhaust lobe. Pulled the cam and sure enough it was worn to almost nothing (how is that possible? Did the previous owner just idle the engine endlessly?). Anyway I replaced the cam and it ran fantasticly.
I have the same wheeler with the same air intake issue I took a foam filter and put it over the intake inlet were you put the tape and it helped. I was hoping you would do some troubleshooting on the radiator fan. Mine is not working haven’t had time to troubleshoot it yet.
Wow wish I could find an awesome deal like that! Great video.
The problem that you have with it is that tractor muffler is causing restrictions with the airbox off it's allowing the fuel mixture to change so it's running better but your problem is the muffler
Hey Joe, I just found myself quite a few projects at my neighbors farm. Inside a shed they havent opened in years was a polaris magnum 325 and Indy lite 340 and a phazer 500 so hopefully i can get em running.
When in good shape those AMS Swampfox tires are excellent atv tires
Vinnie with the big jump off the trailer.....cool pup
Make a little test track with obstacles on your land. That would be fun to see.
Excellent video again
love it when they wake up after a long sleep!
Good job!
Had a Suzuki quad that wouldn't run at all if the air box wasn't completely sealed. Got it for 250$ quadrunner 230 I think.still you got a heck of a deal .
Hey Joe , i have the same machine, its very sensitive to airbox and air filter and even the intake manafold, and mine did the same with bogging until i found a small bent part of the intake manafold, once i fixed that it was fine, the only thing i cant figure out is front right hub wont go into 4wd.
dude your a Pro thanks for sharing
Kinda makes sense if the air box is leaking your losing vacuum. The slide works on vacuum. I never had one with that type of carb. $200 quad that runs. Would love it to putt around my yard.
Try to get your hands on a Suzuki TS50X. Good mopeds here in Norway😊
That wheeler being that fussy on the air in,
you wanna bet that teactor muffler is too restrictive also?
Also I'd coat the whole outside of air box with thin layer of silicone where the cracks are, or entirely.
Great find!
Nice job, Joe
Joe, with your spark plug tester, can you show what a fouled plug looks like at revs?
Yes
Vinny approved hell yeah thanks little buddy
It's lean, by adding the tape over the pipe your choking it thus the carb pulls more fuel less air. Raise the needle if its a clip type or go to a slightly larger jet/mixture.
If you remove the slide there are two security screws to remove the main jet housing in the carb. There are two o-rings on it that rot and cause this issue.
