we have a 1995 polaris xlt 600 triple.... it starts and idles fine but, it wont rev past 4500 rpms? if you get on the sled and try to take off it just bogs down and wants to die?...anyone know what the problem could be? any help will be greatly appreciated!

thanks

After you've confirmed it has good compression on all cylinders, you might have to go in there and check the carbs for clogged jets and such, prob bad gas from sitting.
That's where I'd start, it's usually dirty carbs. :div20:

Plus if you're trying to run it in warm weather, the needle jet setting will be a little rich if it's still the stock jetting.

thanks for the fast reply!! i will get a compression checker and go from there!
thanks again

Might check to see if a cable came loose from a carb slider. Been down that road myself.

we fought that on one of our xlt's, after rebuilding the carbs, we ended up replacing the secondary clutch, worked fine after that.

definatly check the clutch springs. one might be broke!

Dirty carbs, jetting, or cables could do it, for sure,

Also compression.

If the sled has been in storage and the exhaust sounds muffled, check for mouse nests in the muffler or exhaust pipe.

change the plugs, clean carbs.
the one i had loved plugs... fouled the all the time. just don't let in idle to long.

 

[scolba]

yup...id say carbs or clutch. since your not hvaing trouble getting it started, i don't think compression is the issue...but could be i guess....

Champaign, huh? I thought I was the furthest south on here!! Where do you ride?

I agree with a bunch all up above.


- carbs (starving for fuel, dirty carbs, broken/cracked/pinch fuel line)
- check the fuel pump (seem to me, somebody left that therory out) tsk tsk tsk :beerchug:

- compression (weak compression/fouled plugs)
- shorten wire(s) someplace.

Anyone?
