Why does my Sportman 500 backfire when starting?
It will often let out a hellacious backfire while spinning over to start. It honestly sounds like a 12 gauge shotgun. Once it starts it runs fine, and sometimes it will start with no issues. This backfiring mainly occurs when trying to restart while the motor is hot, but sometimes when it’s cold.
What kind of car is a Polaris predator 500?
Pretty new to Polaris for that matter. I’m a life-long Honda & Arctic Cat guy. But now I have an ’05 Predator 500 and it’s driving me insane. I got it off a guy that said it ran last year and I kind of know him so I don’t think he’d have any reason to b/s me. It’s super clean and not really modded up.
What causes popping and hesitating on Polaris Pro riders?
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 causes a Polaris Sportsman 500 to backfire?
I have a 99 Polaris sportsman 500 that is backfiring through the carburetor. It will start fine and idle perfect, but as soon as I touch the throttle it’ll pop and backfire like crazy at the carb. I can let go of the throttle and it’ll settle back to idling.
How did I Fix my Sportman 500 backfiring?
Saturday I finally pulled the carb off, shot some carb cleaner through all the jets and every hole I could find in the carb and it was pretty clean. Pulled out the float bowl drain screw and it is the tapered kind, tightened the hell out of it and now it barely has a drip so I’ll order a new one to see if that improves it.
