Have a ploaris 400 2005 turns on runs great for bout 20 minutes then shuts down. wait bout 15 minutes will start and run again for a short time. What is the problem

most likely a fuel issue. has it been sitting up ? if so if its got a carb it prob gummed up, pour some seafoam into the gas tank with fresh gas and run it, try and keep it running with the throttle, it might clear some varnish out the carb if it not too bad, if tht dont work and it is a carb engine then the carb will have to be removed and cleaned. if it a FI engine then you got a bad full pump more than likely If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/allen_b068623c5003aa4b

Polaris troubleshooting

This is not normal. You should have a dealer check into it. An electrical issue can be 5 minutes or 5 hours or more to find. Sounds like a ground is bad somewhere. Check the battery terminals.

2001 500 HO is stuck in High Forward gear

If the shocks are worn out, get off the machine and lift up on the back rack. This takes up the slop between the shifter box and the transmission, and usually allows me to shift. I also had an issue with the thin steel plate behind the shifter box. Got a crack in the top , so it was flexing, creating more slop. Welded it shut, good as new.

Assembly diagram for a recoil on a 1999 Polaris 400 xplorer

Assembling a recoil system on a Polaris 400 Xplorer involves several steps. While I can't provide an actual diagram here, I can outline the general steps involved in assembling a recoil system:
  1. Preparation: Ensure you have all the necessary parts for the recoil assembly including the recoil starter, recoil housing, recoil spring, and any other associated parts.
  2. Mounting the Recoil Housing: Begin by mounting the recoil housing onto the engine. It typically bolts onto the engine casing.
  3. Inserting the Recoil Starter: Place the recoil starter mechanism into the recoil housing. It usually fits into grooves or mounts within the housing.
  4. Attaching the Recoil Spring: Connect one end of the recoil spring to the recoil starter mechanism and the other end to a fixed point within the recoil housing. This provides the tension necessary for the recoil starter to function properly.
  5. Installing the Pull Cord: Thread the pull cord through the hole in the recoil starter mechanism and tie a knot at the end to secure it. Wind the pull cord around the recoil starter as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Testing: Before completely sealing the recoil housing, give the recoil starter a few pulls to ensure it functions smoothly and retracts properly.
  7. Final Assembly: Once you're satisfied with the recoil assembly, bolt down any remaining covers or components to secure the recoil system in place.
Always consult the specific service manual for your Polaris 400 Xplorer for detailed instructions and diagrams tailored to your exact model. Additionally, if you're unsure about any step, it's best to seek assistance from a professional mechanic or someone experienced with small engine repair.
