Why does my Polaris Sportsman 500 not idle?
The problems can be divided into three. 1. Sometimes the machine did not want to idle at all. It died when i released the throttle, sometimes this happened immediately or after a few seconds of idle. 2. Sometimes the idle stuck at around 1600 rpm and did not come down to correct level about 1140 rpm. 3.

Is there a problem with the stop screw on Polaris Sportsman 500?
Its worth to mention that i know of one other identical machine and year (Polaris Sportsman 500 EFI year 2007) that had the same problem with the stop screw, so maybe this is a common problem of that model and year. Thanks for advices i got in this forum during the process!

As you get to higher RPM’s, the problem gets worse as the arcing is causing the spark plug to not fire consistently or enough. It can load up the plug and foul it.

What’s the idle level on a Polaris Sportsman 500?
I heard the idle decrease just a few rpm, I pushed harder and then whoops the idle sunk to correct level 1180 rpm and stayed there also when I stopped pushing on the wheel. So the stop screw was too high. Now, in Polaris workshop manuals there are plenty of warnings about adjusting the stop screw yourself.

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.
Can a bad throttle position sensor cause idle surging?
Idle surging can be caused due to other issues in the car, but if it happens in conjunction with other throttle position sensor symptoms, the culprit is often the TPS. At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. 3) Check Engine Light
What causes idle surges on a car ECM?

What should I do if my engine idles at 500 rpm?
Put in some better fuel (Shell or Mobil premium) and just DRIVE it. Very little extra cost to you and it cleans as you drive. Your truck will thank you! Generally speaking these injected computer controlled engines have pretty low ldle speeds.
What’s the idle speed of a Chevy truck?
Thanks. Last edited by EKinMN on Nov 11 2011, 2:54am, edited 1 time in total. Most trucks start up at about 1000 RPM, and then drop down when it warms up. Although mine is a lot different than yours, I can tell you it will idle down to about 500 RPM when warm.
What causes the RPM to fluctuate while idling?
It might be the intermittent failure of an idle speed solenoid. They go by a bazillion different names and have just as many variations. For example: Et cetera… It may also be, as noted in your comments, an air leak somewhere. Seeing as how it works fine above a certain RPM, I’d be willing to bet it’s an idle speed solenoid of some type.
What should the idle speed be when holding the brakes?
You brake system relies on vacuum and an idle speed that is affected by holding the brakes probably has a weak vacuum. You can get a cheap gauge at an auto part place that will quickly tell you if you are in spec. Idle air control..it should idle at 1000 rpm’s when the engine rpm’s jump up and down,suspect the iac.
