Sounds like you need a carb cleaning, but only after you check your fuel, good gas? Water in fuel? Air filter good? Then pull the carb and clean it, pretty easy to do just keep a small container for little parts and keep track of number of turns on the adjustment screws

black smoke is over fueling--choke on or leaking injector or injector seals

I know virtually nothing about a 2005 Polaris 90 Sportsman, but your problem sounds like it could be a fuel starvation problem. Check the fuel filter (assuming it has one!). Good luck!

Tranny works, shifter wont shift the gears. how to fix?

My 2005 Polaris ATP 500 requires I depress the right foot brake while shifting into reverse or down into low range. Perhaps some adjustment on the foot brake to make this work. Also check linkage to make sure it is not binding. Others say if the idle speed is too high, you may not be able to shift. Try shifting with the engine off to see if it goes into the gears, using the foot brake. If yes, try again while at low idle speed.
