ok lets start off by saying this is not the wore down cam problem mine is good. I got it running like a top, idled perfect and took gas perfect, i rode it around for a few then it started crapping out like it was flooding out lots of black smoke then it died could not start it back then. ive cleaned the carb drained the gas put fresh in, added half a bottle of sea foam and adjusted on the carb till im blue in the face. ive heard the throttle adjustments could make a polaris bog, do you know the factory settings on the throttle and idle screw? and i have put a new plug in as well.. could it be a bad coil? im stumped on this one.. help please :realmad:
