Why does my Polaris ATV idle but die with throttle?
I pulled my fuel line to the carb and started it, when I gave it throttle it pumped more gas so I know it has gas to the carb. It seemed to run the same with the line pulled, until the remaining gas in the carb ran out. That makes me think it’s a fuel issue with the carb.
