Review on High-Performance Carburetor with Air Filter for Polaris Sportsman 500 4X4 HO (2001-2005) by Elton Luo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Hope they do it right. But it did not work.

Carburettor came quickly and was great. Installed easily and the Scrambler started without much delay, but I explained that the fuel has to go through the hoses to the new carburetor. This is where the leak started. Although he started and drove, he found it difficult to continue working without stepping on the accelerator. Then it turned out that the carburetor was leaking. Flows from bowl overflow hose. I'm assuming the float is stuck inside, but with little experience disassembling a carburetor I wouldn't risk opening it up. I hope the manufacturer or seller reads this review and repairs the carburetor. I will remove or update this review when this happens; I will return it if this is not the case. I would have contacted the manufacturer or seller in advance but couldn't find a link to message them. To update. The company responded immediately and offered to send me (yet) a new carburetor to replace the leaking one. I got a second carb in no time; Company props/revain for their delivery every time. Unfortunately, the second carburettor never caught fire. Instead, he poured gasoline straight into the oil pan. After the carburetor was installed and cranked for less than a minute, the crankcase was full of fuel. I will be returning this second carburetor and ordering from a different dealer. Too bad, price and delivery (both times) were great. I think you can buy a bad carburetor, even a new one, but who knew you could get a bad carburetor twice in a row.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Older model
