'96 Polaris SL700, won't crank
Hi guys,
I'm back again with another problem. I finally got my carbs rebuilt, replaced the fuel float in the tank, assembled everything back together, dropped a new battery in, put a couple of gallons of gas to crank and test. However, I can't seem to get it to fire up. Spark plugs test fine. Battery is fresh. Just won't fire. I pulled the air filter cover off and checked to see if any fuel was even coming in to the carbs. Doesn't look like any fuel is even flowing.
Anything you would recommend? This is my last attempt at this ski, I'll probably try to sell it if this doens't work. Severely aggrivated with it
Thanks againLast edited by markamus; 06-30-2007 at 05:48 PM.

Did you use translucent fuel lines? Any kinks in pulse or feed lines. Is there a restrictor in the return line? Might need to be primed. Try squirting a SMALL amount of premix down the carbs and see if it will fire.

No visible kinks in lines. What do you mean by a restrictor? Also, how is it primed? Sorry, I'm a newbie when it comes to this. Thanks again for any help.

There is a restrictor in the fuel return line going back to the tank. It helps to keep the fuel pressure up.
If you squirt a small amount of premix down the carbs the engine should prime the pump when it fires up, assuming you have the pulse line connected from the crankcase to the fuel pump
Me too, I'm an auto tech not a PWC mechanic. Did you try starting it with a little premix down the carbs?

Thanks Tony,
Will the restrictor be a visible part on the line itself?
Havent tried any premix, don't know exactly what to use.

40:1 premix = 3.2oz of oil per gallon.
