I have a 92 polaris 350L 4x4 two stroke that I had running the other day, but it bogged out and died and will not start again.
I have spark @ the plug (I checked) and it seems to want to start but just makes a woosh and boggs a bit soon as it starts to fire. I can smell burning fuel so think its getting gas (it makes a little tiny bit of smoke) but how can I be sure? if I have spark, is there anything in the wiring that will stop it from running (like ignition) keeping in mind that I could pull start it yesterday? Is there a place I can download a free Haynes or Clymer manual?
Or does anyone have one they could scan the wire schematics and send or post? would love some help thanks!
p.s model# w928139

If you got spark I would bet it is one of the other two. Is the plug wet or dry, after trying to start? If it is wet you are not getting sufficiant spark, or to much fuel, maybe try another plug. I would check your air filter and intake to the carb. make sure that it is clean and clear, from the air box to the carb. If you haven't run it in a while pull the carb off and clean it out and make sure that your float is not sticking. This would cause it to either flood or not idle depending were it is sitting. Spark, fuel, and air if one is not right she won't run. The reason that i don't think that it is your wiring is you have spark. Hope this helps you out.

also good time for mice to start hiding in places. check the exhaust pipe for any blockage.
second would be with the temps are getting colder that you may have bad gas or water in there causing carb problems.

I saw this on another forum, maybe give you some idea.

2002 SCRAMBLER 500 4X4 WOULD NOT START WITH KEY, IT WOUKD TURN OVER BUT NOT FIRE, IT HAD SPARK, IT WOULD START FINE WITH PULL ROPE.
REMOVED RECOIL, FLYWHEEL AND SENSOR COIL. CLEANED SENSOR COIL, IT HAS TWO CIRCUITS, CLEANED DIRT AND FILINGS FROM IN BETWEEN TWO METAL STRIPS, ALSO ON NEWER MODELS THE SENSOR COIL IS ADJUSTABLE.
I FILED MOUNTING HOLES SO I COULD MOVE CLOSER TO FLYWHEEL.
ELECTRIC START NOW WORKS PERFECT.
HOPE THIS MAY HELP OTHERS FROM HAVING THE SAME FRUSTRATIONS I HAD.
