sounds like lack of compression

If the shocks are worn out, get off the machine and lift up on the back rack. This takes up the slop between the shifter box and the transmission, and usually allows me to shift. I also had an issue with the thin steel plate behind the shifter box. Got a crack in the top , so it was flexing, creating more slop. Welded it shut, good as new.

isnt that a 2 stroke? go to polaris for an owners manual

Sounds like a bad regulator.

what?? it just bolts on??

don't worry about it if everything works properly!

interesting problem

It is inappropriate to explain how to possibly steal a machine on this public site.

Assembling a recoil system on a Polaris 400 Xplorer involves several steps. While I can't provide an actual diagram here, I can outline the general steps involved in assembling a recoil system:

1. Preparation: Ensure you have all the necessary parts for the recoil assembly including the recoil starter, recoil housing, recoil spring, and any other associated parts.
2. Mounting the Recoil Housing: Begin by mounting the recoil housing onto the engine. It typically bolts onto the engine casing.
3. Inserting the Recoil Starter: Place the recoil starter mechanism into the recoil housing. It usually fits into grooves or mounts within the housing.
4. Attaching the Recoil Spring: Connect one end of the recoil spring to the recoil starter mechanism and the other end to a fixed point within the recoil housing. This provides the tension necessary for the recoil starter to function properly.
5. Installing the Pull Cord: Thread the pull cord through the hole in the recoil starter mechanism and tie a knot at the end to secure it. Wind the pull cord around the recoil starter as per the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Testing: Before completely sealing the recoil housing, give the recoil starter a few pulls to ensure it functions smoothly and retracts properly.
7. Final Assembly: Once you're satisfied with the recoil assembly, bolt down any remaining covers or components to secure the recoil system in place.

Always consult the specific service manual for your Polaris 400 Xplorer for detailed instructions and diagrams tailored to your exact model. Additionally, if you're unsure about any step, it's best to seek assistance from a professional mechanic or someone experienced with small engine repair.
