it cranks but doesnt start. It just pops occasionally and backfired a few times when I sprayed starter fluid in it. One time it shot fire out of the intake/carb/whatever and caught the airbox on fire.

Can I grab my Def Leppard cd’s too?

Maybe. Ive never had the carb apart because if I took it apart it would never go back together again.

It ran fine about a month ago after jumpstarting it with my truck but nothing today.

The old battery was definately shot so I think that was a separate issue.

so this thing has a spark issue once again. It has a new plug and clean carb but something else is wrong with it, possibly the cdi box again.

Ive gotta take it somewhere and get it checked out. I was thinking of taking it to Ronnie’s in Guilderland or maybe another dealer type place- not Griffin’s though. Any other suggestions as to where to go?

sounds like you gave a bad electrical issue.

Starter, ignition coil, stator plate coils etc…one of those or a few could be bad. Very popular for condensation to build up and corrode the stator coils in the motor.

the other problem is, its a polaris. lolll
