MAINTENANCE
Carburetor
Your Polaris ATV is calibrated at the factory for optimal performance
at altitudes ranging from zero to 6,000 feet (1800 m) and temperatures
of +40 degrees F. (4 degrees C.) or higher. Above 6000 feet (1800 m)
the engine air/fuel mixture becomes overly rich and the engine loses
approximately 3% of its power for each 1000-foot (304.8 m) increase
in elevation. Although this power cannot be regained, adjustments to
the carburetor and drive system can be made to allow more efficient
operation. Optional jets, available from your Polaris dealer, are
required for operation above 6,000 feet and temperatures below +40
degrees F. (4 degrees C.)
NOTE: Continuous operation of the engine without proper jetting
when required can cause poor performance, overheating or
PVT or engine damage. See your Polaris dealer for more
information about jetting the ATV for conditions in your area.
NOTE: Pilot screws are sealed with metal plugs and are serviceable
only by Polaris dealers.
Carburetor Idle
If the engine idle speed is not satisfactory, and
all other conditions are favorable, the carburetor
can be adjusted.
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up for
approximately five minutes.
2. Place the transmission in gear.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Turn the screw in (clockwise) to raise RPM.
Turn the screw out (counterclockwise) to
lower RPM.
