Can a Polaris Ranger run at even RPMs?
When acceleration is applied it staggers and farts, until you let off the throttle, then it will run fine at an even RPMs until accelerator is pushed. It will always start right up if it dies and will idle. And run when stopped, in neutral or in gear and rolling. I’m wondering too .. is there a governor that keeps RPM’s down for over reving?

Sometimes when it bogs down it’s not much then clears up, then sometimes it bogs to the point you have no power then runs great again. Has not ever killed out but seemed close to it.

Why does my sportsman 500 cut out at half throttle?
A few days ago our 2000 Sportsman 500 started cutting out at about half throttle. Throughout the entire rpm range a hollow sound is made. It sounds like when I start my Honda without the air filter on. It has a near identical sound. It just feels like it doesn’t have the power at the upper rpm levels.

That kind of popping/backfiring. You know how if it’s advanced too far it starts real hard and rough but will rev to the moon, but if it’s retarded too much, it starts super fine but sputters and bucks and spits and kicks. Would a sheered woodruff key put off symptoms like this?

What to do if your Polaris bike won’t start?
Just spray a small amount on the coil, then try to start the bike. If it starts, then problem solved. If it doesn’t start, then it means more troubleshooting. Good luck! Check the fuel tank vent hose to see if it is plugged or kinked.
