SOURCE: Have put new fuel pump on ,cleaned carb,new plug, gets gas plug fires but won't start, checked compression at98# don't know what else to do .

The battery voltage on a Suzuki I had would drop low enough during cranking with the electric starter motor not allowing the spark to be strong enough to run, the voltage regulator also didn't function correctly once and as the battery voltage dropped during operation engine would start to bog down and cut out due to low voltage for the ignition system.

SOURCE: 04 Polaris predator, I bought used last week. I put a new battery and new carb on it. It doesn't have power, won't start, and no spark with kick starter. Dead. Fuses,wires, look good. Any ideas

Did it have compression before you bought it?
No power to the electric starter? Then you probably have no power to the ignition system. I'd check battery connections. Is the battery going flat overnight? Some shorts. Is there an ignition with a key? Is the switch good? or all the connections good? Corrosion does some funny things. Fuses may look good but actually are not.

SOURCE: My 2001 polaris scrambler 500 is back firing out the carb what can it be and do you no the compression it should have.

If it is running but backfiring out the carb, I'd be looking at a burned intake valve.
If it's not nunning but backfires out the carb when you try to start it, I'd be looking at bad ignition or valve timing. I'd suggest that you review any recent maintenance to see if that could be the source of the problem.

I bought a 2001 Polaris ranger 425. Cranks good,idles good and runs good with choke about 1/2 out. Push in it dies. You can smell gas.

most likely carb needs attention but check fuel pump/filter as well http://www.instant-manual.com/download-polaris-service-manuals-by-model.html

My 1995 Polaris Magnum 425 ran when I bought it but the lights did not work. I replaced the headlight bulb but now when I try to start it nothing happens, not even the click of the selinoid.

Bad starter,replaced one on my grand sons not long ago,battery was weak,got it charged,still would not start,took starter off,it was locked up,they ordered one from Ebay,I installed,started right up,here's a site for a new starter,you can take off and take to Autozone to test to make sure.Also check the cable that goes from starter to the other connection.https://www.ebay.com/itm/STARTER-FOR-POLARIS-MAGNUM-425-4X4-2X4-1995-1996-1997-1998/262663578665?epid=8008132122&hash=item3d27f82429:rk:1:pf:0

2004 Yamaha Beartracker, new carb. Runs OK at idle but bogs down when I hit the throttle and won't reach higher RPM.

Sounds to me like your not getting enough fuel change fuel filter and tak gas out of tank and clean it out a few times as the screen in the tank may be clogged also if you have an electronic fuel pump make sure it is working properly

1997 425 magnum 4x2 new carb,coil,plug,wont rev past halve throttle then sputters no power

Fuel starvation (supply or wrong carb or tune) and/or insufficient or poor quality spark.

Make sure the air filter is clean and only test with it connected as it sometimes makes a lot of difference. It could be worth checking the exhaust for blockages.

Polaris troubleshooting

Sounds like a carb issue...make sure you have fresh ,clean gas.You havent got water in your carb/tank have you? I would start by taking the carb apart and give it a really good clean.Check all jets and orifices.Another words,take apart anything in the carb that you can,clean and replace.

2002 polaris scram. 90 cc. all new top end and new carb. Come 2 me with no compression, found rings stuck to piston and jug scratched up. Like i said new top end and carb. starts great and idles great,But...

First question since i am assuming it was just sitting around for some time if i am correct you need to pull the carb remove the float bowl and components if everything was done correctly with your rebuild the likely problem is your carb is gummed up remove everything in the carb low speed jet etc. soak everything in sea foam fuel cleaner overnight and hopefully you have some compressed air and blow out that low speed jet and passage way pay close attention that you have see fluid coming from the other end and check the jet make sure it is unclogged hold it up to the light.
