Ya it's me again. I was in love with my Polaris for about 2 days, but now I'm on the fence again.
My 97 XLT Special ran great all weekend until one time I was going down the trail about 35 mph and it just lost power and started bogging real bad. I was able to keep it running till we got to a place to pull over and then as soon as I let off the throttle it quit. I changed the plugs several times, but it made no difference. Also took the belt right off but engine still would not run right, put in dry gas too. Got it started again and by holding the throttle to the bar and running along side got it moving and jumped on. Went about a mile doing like 10 mph wide open and then the engine started coming back running great. Just when I thought the problem was gone it would die again. I went through this cycle a number of times running alongside going up hills and to get started till I was completely whipped and finally found a place along the trail to leave it.
I am thinking coils or stuck float, anyone seen this before? [xx(]
