2010 polaris 800 won't idle????

07grizzly · Oct 3, 2011

My sled idle's so low that the headlights and dash light will turn off and on and then it just shuts off. It runs find when I drive it or a give it a lil gas with the throttle but it won't idle on its own. Was wondering if anyone esle has had this problem or might know what is wrong.

Stock or does it have v-force reeds in it?

sorry to say but it is a 800.....do a compression test!

Voltage regulator something happened to me.

the sled has slp heads, pipe, highflow intake, boysen rage cages and pcv runing the slp map. I'll have to do a compression test but the motor only has around 250 miles since the new cylinders, pistons, rings.

If it was poor compression or a vr it would run bad all the time, need to dig deeper, i would start by checking for broken or chipped reeds.

Sounds like the TPS (throttle positioning sensor) needs to be adjusted,might have been bumped doin the reeds.

X2 same here. Wouldn't idle , seemed to run fine when you gave it some gas. headlights and dash flashing.

Thanks for the info i'm gonna try a few things let you guys know what happens.

Blackzed · Oct 15, 2011

is that the sled you bought out of the states

Reset the TPS on my PV5 didnt help, did a compression test 130 psi both sides. I took the top end out and the reeds found that the top reeds pedals on both reed cages are chip and cracked.
