Appreciate for you to make this video because the primary clutch was a hard part still on the bike cuz I didn't know how to take it off but now I do I have to do the starter as well which is a pain in the butt
I need some serious help with mine as well - I'm working on a 2006 Polaris Trail Blazer 250 (2-stroke) and nothing I do will make it run at all. It has good spark (even tried all new related electrics: coil, stator, spark plugs, plug wires, etc etc) no change. Checked the emergency throttle handlebar cut-off switch and it was fine. Has fresh top end, over 100psi cold compression (normal for this model when cold.) (New top-end didn't affect this problem either.) Cylinder was not damaged at all. Measured OEM stock diameter. Spark plug shows "spark" when out of cylinder. Spark plug gets damp, getting fuel, obviously and, carburetor is newly cleaned, rebuilt, all jets inspected, float level is spot-on. Fuel is flowing normally (I am very experienced with carbs.). Not even using the stock fuel tank (using a mechanic fuel bottle right now - and it works fine) But basically nothing I have done has affected anything. It will "try" to fire on the first pull (or push-button), then nothing but spin spin spin. Doesn't "try" to fire after the first pull. Been googling for hours all over - and so many people just END their discussion with NO reported fix of the problem. So dang frustrating that people won't say what fixed their problem. Don't even bother starting a thread if you aren't going to help other people viewing it months, years later. I replaced the crank seals as well. No change. Sheesh... (sorry but I am extremely frustrated here...) I have checked everything common in the world and this thing will not crank. Yes I know it needs: compression, air, fuel, spark, blah blah blah. It has all of that. Not cranking. Someone just report what they did to fix theirs if they had the same problem. Not looking for "guesses." Hate to sound all whatever, but I am pissed about this. I know how to work on stupid motors. Grrrrrrrrrrrr....
I wonder if it's getting too much fuel? If it tries on the first attempt it's drier, but the plug becomes too wet. You hate to use starter fluid, but does that cause it to try to start? I know sometimes when mine wouldn't start similar to what you say I was able to hold the throttle wide open as I tried the starter and eventually it fired up. It could be an adjustment on the carb. It tough to say since it's not in front of me and honestly I haven't messed with one in awhile. Good luck.
@@BigjermsGarage well, it has the recommended jets in it, and they are new and clean and clear. Float valve is new and works perfectly. The float level is fine as well. It's the OEM carburetor, and it has been ultrasonically cleaned, and rebuilt. I'm very good with carburetors. So I'm still stuck. None of this affected the problem either. Because it wasn't cranking before we did all this work.
@@BigjermsGarage I tried every combination. But we all know you don't touch the throttle on a cold engine. All that would do is flood it out. It didn't matter what sort of throttle I did. Carburetor is fully cleaned, rebuilt, jetted to OEM specs, float level is spot-on as well. I know carbs quite well and this carb is spot on. I'm seeking suggestions that make sense. And this one just doesn't. Nothing anyone has suggested has made any sense - or already been done and tried. So frustrated. It's not you... It's me... I could name 100 more things that are perfectly normal and fine on this thing. Doesn't seem to matter to it running. And I am just pissed about it.
good vid man. mine is getting an eliminator kit. I have had mine since 2003, and have had a lot of problems out of it. reverse going out (fixed that like 3 times) starter going out...I don't know why they engineer stuff like they do..they must have gotten better with the success of their RZR line, but as fun as this bike is, the reliability isn't that great...but I am going to try to get mine back up to par!
Hi man..i have a two stroke polaris ,i just bought for cheap engine start for a second with starter fluid.any way my question is i dont have any more info to buy parts and this are the only digits a can see on the left size of the frame by the front tires but digits are separeded here 1639375 then model no W897527 can you help me to find out all info about this?thanks in advance!!
i have a trail boss and we just put the new starter in. i try and pull start it but its really "stiff" i was wondering if this is what a top end going out feels like? we were able to get it running but it took a lot of starter fluid to get there. we rebuilt the carb. then it started to start rough and only with starter fluid. what ya think should be out check step? sorry if im vage. this is my first time work on atvs.
Troy's OHV Repair, Dolores Co. Can you just take the skid plate off to reach the bracket behind the clutch? Or do you absolutely have to pull the clutch? My starter (got the quad 4 days ago) isn't working, and the recoil starter started to not want to rewind (and I can't get the friggin screws off the inside of where it holds the spring in to see what's wrong). So I may have to get the starter, as that's cheaper than the friggin $300 recoil starter assembly.
MolonLabeUSA I might have a pull start to sell. You might be able to reach in there when the skid plate is off but it's gonna be tough. It's been awhile since I made this video, but off memory I think I had to get behind the clutch.
Hey Brother question? my polaris trail boss, stars with the pull start only when I try to start it with the key it only clicks I have change the solenoid but I can't get it to start with the key ..... the only way to start it. is with the pull start this it mean that i have a bad starter......
Hey man I just picked up a 03 trail blazer 250 the other day for $100 pull starter was broke and electric start just clicks! I’ve got the pull rope fixed and got it fired up and running but my pull start housing is missing the 4 screws that hold that black cover on could you tell me what size bolts or screws it needs?
my housing for the pullstart feels like its stuck on the bottom. is there any other screws or do i just bang it out like in this video. im a rookie working on bikes
I have a 2003 trailblazer 250 when I press the push start to start it it just clicks so I've been using the pullstart but using the pull start won't work now bc I pull then gas leaks from the exhaust and won't start I just changed the spark plug went for a ride like 1 hour ride and it cut out on me anyone else have problems like that what's causing it
@@MrStealth654321 I’ve had 7-8 trailblazer, just bought one yesterday. Two of them had fmf exhausts and I do think they made a difference. Those two seemed to be more responsive and seemed to have more power.
@@BigjermsGarage I hear that im putting a Polaris trail boss 250 engine on a buggy Need all the power i can get. Cant find a fmf muffler that will fit I wonder if the same muffler as trailblazer
WOW is there anyway to show the process without giving me your life history! This video would have been 10 minutes long if you would have focused on the purpose and not chatter.
First, thanks for watching. I didn't edit this video, it was 20 min to remove the starter once I had the clutches off. I didn't walk around the garage talking about other bikes or ATVs, I went over this motor and the process to remove the starter. I apologize for not being focused enough. I feel that unless it was edited then it would have still taken the same amount time and doing it in silence might have been worse.
jake beaudry The primary clutch(on the engine) needs a puller tool, they're $15-20 shipped from eBay or Amazon. The secondary clutch(on the transmission) just slides off when you take the bolt out.
Good job on your video.
Digging the RUSH in the background
This video helped me out alot thanks for making the video.

Thanks man. Big help for me!

Hey man great video, verry helpful, can you tell me the the exact size used for the extractor? The bolt you made thank you
Could you get around taking the cluch off to get the starter
No
Yes, search for it again there's a good video on it. No clutch removal required.
BTW thank you!

Hey how dose a person remove the pull start
How many bolts came out of the recoil?
good video
what starter do recommend for a 2001 trailblazer 250
i have a trail boss and we just put the new starter in. i try and pull start it but its really "stiff" i was wondering if this is what a top end going out feels like? we were able to get it running but it took a lot of starter fluid to get there. we rebuilt the carb. then it started to start rough and only with starter fluid. what ya think should be out check step? sorry if im vage. this is my first time work on atvs.
Joe Nolfwa I would think the top end going would be difficult to start, but not stiff. do a compression check.
will do! thanks!
Once you unbolt everything take the skid plate off the bottom and slide the starter right out, easy money!!!!
Troy's OHV Repair, Dolores Co. Plus it gives you a lot of working room to put the new one back in.

Yes i was having that prob and still am
Does the polaris xplorer have the same steps to take the starter out?
honestly I don't know, is it a 400 or 330?
Preston if you change yours do a vid I need to do my starter on my 400 xplorer.
Do you have to run it full throttle all the time
i have one of these and hell no
What keeps the benndix tight mine grinds when is turns?
Water and mud possibly rust
Would this be the same for the 2004 model ?
Benjamin Bradley I think so
where did you get the FMF muffler ??
It was on the atv when I got it

Its fucking Rush..Ricky!!! 15:00
could you post a video the stator being repaced. or if u could just tell me the location of the part on the bike please. thanks
I have a 2006 replaced my starter by just taking skid plate off...looks like your doing alot of work for no reason 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Work on an older model.. they bolted it from the back of the starter too.
400
the 400 motor is completely different
+BigjermsGarage thank god
Its harder to pull off a sterter off this pile, than it is an actual car.

Stop hating, be glad he even showed us how to take it out, doofus
Do you know why my reverse might of went out
if you’ve found out please share
how did you get the pulleys off
