      @Brandon Schuler your efi system is clogged with stale fuel and you need to check if your getting power to the starter. Could be solenoid or a faulty safety switch.

      2vintage hey I have a 2003 Yamaha warrior and I’ve been rebuilding it and I can get it to start and run with the choke on but as soon as I cut it off it dies. I’ve cleaned the carburetor 4 times really good but today I noticed the needles C-clip is not on the needle so it’s stuck down could this cause it to die with no choke... ps I’m waiting for a rebuild kit to come in to fix it just wanna know in advance

    The 400’s are some powerful machines, and fast! Im not positive what model mine is but it didn’t have racks when I got it off my dad. Added on a hitch and fitted a rear utility rack, now she’s a useful machine around the property.

Very quick machine compared to my ATC. I have a few parts on the way and hopefully will have a strong mule for a long time

  • @brycenjones8138
    @brycenjones8138 4 года назад +2

    The same exact thing happened to my grizzly it would shift into any gear you had to fight it. And we just rode it like that for a long time thinking it was the shifting linkage. But it wasn’t it was the primary clutch and we kept riding it and it completely destroyed the timing chain guide and and chain. And it flung the chain all around the motor and destroyed it. And it kept turning over with the key not even in it and almost caught on fire. So I’d look in to that.

  • @JohnSmith-sf8gj
    @JohnSmith-sf8gj 2 года назад

    I had one, it was lots of fun. Maybe a little quirky. Hub oil, the rattle in the clutch, the oil/water seal failure in the coolant pump, do I trust the oil injector? My favorite was the metal front and steel frame. I'd make saplings snap over to make trails.Lots of breakable plastic on later versions. Good times til sold. I'd like another.

    I recently picked up a 1996 Polaris 400 Sportsman 4x4 from a guy who barely rode it. It only has 84 miles on in and it is very clean. I have a couple of questions for you because I want this baby to last for a long time.
    -The owner before me took the oil pump off and has been directly mixing oil and gas with a 40:1 Polaris Blue Oil (3.2oz) per 1 gallon). He said it runs fine but it does seem to smoke a lot when I am riding it around. Would it be a good idea to put the oil pump back on? Also what kind of oil do you use and what ratio per gallon, and what test gas do you use?
    -Sometimes the machine will not turn off, so i have to let it run out of gas via the petcok. Any suggestions?
    -The front left brake is very tight and I can barely squeeze it enough to set the lock brake. Any suggestions?
    Response would be awesome, thanks!

    I just got a 2001 Polaris sportsman 500 4x4 for $450 and but it didn't run when I got it but everything else worked. So I just replace the piston and rings because it sounded like it had low compression but it still won't run. And I made sure the timing was right and everything. which I'm getting pretty upset, so I guess I'll have to take it somewhere to get it fixed, Which might cost me a lot of money I hope not. And it came with the title and it's pretty clean. But I should just set it on fire LOL because it's Polaris.

      @shanehorton7651 3 года назад

      Its a Two Stroke. Not 4 stroke like modern ATV's and Dirt Bikes. Two stroke were the most commonly used in the 90's and earlier. Cheap to make and highest performance for the costs. EPA laws were made and they were banned because Two Strokes burn oil mixed with the gas to lubricate all the moving parts. 4 stroke motors are like a car engines. The oil in those are stored in the drain pan and there is a pump that pushes oil through a bunch small lines and holes and crankcase and oil sprays directly on the moving parts. 4 strokes also have to do 4 full "revolutions to complete a 1 full ignition cycle. Fuel, Intake, Ignition+Combustion and then exhaust last and then repeats over.. Two Strokes make two revolutions to make one full cycle. Gas+Air and then Ignition+combustion+ exhaust. Then repeats.

    Hey I just bought a 1994 xplorer 400 2 stroke and was wondering what your bikes top speed is. I clock mine with another machine at max of 35 on long straight slightly down hill. I've run it with the clutch over off to make sure the belt shifts all the way foward which is does now that I replaced the belt. I'm assuming 35 is slow for a 400 2 stroke when my 95 trail boss 250 will do 45mph

    Make sure you change the fluid in those hilard clutches or they will burn out on you. There getting hard to find replacement parts for.

    Yeah a utility machine shouldn't sound like that... I agree and prefer a 4 stroke

    My dad and I were going to go buy a yamaha moto-4 for $75 but they wouldn't text us back and we were the first ones to message her but we were already in a different town and she sold it to someone else.
