Try adjusting you mixture a little richer, 1/8 turn on the fuel screw. If this doesn't help get to idle, you will need to rebuild the carb. make sure you get a complete kit to include the float and throttle springs as well as jets and gaskets. Write down your initial mixture settings and try them again on your rebuilt carb. Should be fine. Bending float arms for travel length is tricky, be careful as they can easily break off making them useless. The rest of the process is pretty straightforward. Ensure you place the needle jet keeper ring on the correct groove and the throttle moves smoothly against the spring tension on the cable above the needle valve.

1999 Polaris Sportsman 500. Why will it not turn off please?

Question edited for clarity and typos, and guessing it is a 'Polaris' and not a 'polar'.
Question moved to model category.

It is a known issue. You likely need a new switch, they burn the contacts with prolonged use.

2010 sportsman 500 hd runs then dies turns over won't start

My opinion, it's running rich and letting it idle for 5 minutes doesn't help. Whether it's carbed or EFI, when the machine is cold, it needs more fuel. As engine temperature increases, it doesn't need as much fuel, and the carbon that started building up on the plug is burned back off. When a machine isn't ran for very long, carbon deposits continue to build on the plug. The carb itself may need to be rejetted/adjusted, it it's running rich,
