Was riding the blaster around the yard, Was in 2nd gear, and all of a sudden the blaster was reving wicked high and my finger wasn't on the throttle, i got scared, i shut the engine button off, took the key out, and was running away, and it still was running, wicked high rev i thought it was going to blow. and after about a minute, it was reved all the way down, then shut off. i tried to start it back up, and it won't. it lost some compression in the kick start, and it's not a blown piston because the kickstart would sieze up. and i just don't know what's wrong with it. We popp start it, and it only stays running for about 20 seconds. and thats it. Any help? Thanks!

Kinda sounds like a carb problem. Sounds like it running out of gas. Doesn't explain while it stayed running without the key but they will rev high when starving for gas.

Well the person I bought it from did say the Carb was gummed up. But I just don't understand why the hell it would rev up that high, and stay reved while the engine is off, and the key is out, also in neutral. It's confusing the hell out of me. I called a local ATV shop, and they said that there's some kind of ring or something that moves up and down, and he said on blasters that ring tends to become loose, and he said it could've got screwed up and started fueling the wheeler. but idk! =p

Yup, sounds like you have an air leak and maybe a gummed up carb too, a very bad combo. You may not have siezed the motor, but you still may have ruined the piston. It does not take long to melt a hole in the top of a piston, things get very hot, very fast when there is too much air and not enough fuel. You can start with a compression test, but you will more than likely have to take the cylinder off to find the problem, check the piston, rings, cylinder bore, check the head and cylinder for warpage, and replace the head gasket and cylinder base gasket.

weird. has to be a lean problem, since that quad has the TORS system on it- it should not rev like that- it is spozed to shut itself off. Were you going slow and the engine got pretty hot? you may be looking at a set of rings and maybe a piston as well. Let us know OK?

clean the carb out [easy] and check it for leaks, esp round the base of the cylinder. Let us know if you need help.

the blaster is notorious for having the air tube boot slip off the carb, check there for your air leak, it will cause it to over run even when key is turned off. the easiest way to stop it fast is slow it down pull in the clutch upshift to 6th and drop the clutch, it'll stall the motor if your slow enough don't forget to hold the brakes just in case. you could have blown the motor with out seizing it still though

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      bayou 220 carb cleaning, running lean
      By jhamrick75
      If anyone is having issues with the Mikuni VM24SS carb, I thought I would post what issues I had and how I resolved them.
      Acquired a 93 Bayou 220 that had sat for over 4 years.
      The carb was extremely corroded and pitted and full of leftover fuel.
      Cleaned carb and bowl and was able to get the engine to start.
      Within 30 seconds exhaust would heat up and start to glow red hot.
      Removed carb and recleaned everything, including a second overnight soak.
      Needless to say, after removing the carb for the 5th time and my frustration to the limit I
      realized that my attention had been to the carb body and not to the bowl.
      There is a small brass rod on the bottom of the carb that goes down into the float bowl but is seperated from the main section. I had cleaned that area very well....I had thought.
      ***The corrosion had sealed off the channel that runs from the main bowl section to the small tube section on the side of the float bowl. No amount of carb cleaner was going to get it to budge. So i took a small nail and started to scrape away the corrosion and was eventually able to dislodge enought of the corrosion that carb cleaner would flow through that channel. ***
      I thoroughly cleaned each side of the channel in the float bowl and reinstalled the carb and now the issue of it running lean is gone.
      On a second note the fuel mixture screw was a nightmare to remove as the threads had been corroded and wouldnt let the screw come out. I used a little cutting oil and worked the mixture screw in and out until I was able to push past the corroded threads and completely remove the needle. After a couple passes with a tap to clean the threads it is like new again.
      Hope this helps if you are having a lean running machine.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      1996 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 Issues with high gear
      By Sportsman500guy
      I bought a 1996 Sportsman 500 4x4 about a month ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a few problems with the high-range gear. The first problem is that the gear selector will intermittently pop out of high and into neutral. This problem will sometimes occur when starting from a stop and sometimes will also occur while at cruising speed. The last time this happened I stopped and put it back into gear, however, as soon as I tried to throttle the machine would die. I turned it on again with no problems put it back into high and it died again. Once again I turned it on with no problems put it into low instead and it worked fine with no problem. I drove in low down the road slowly for a little and then shifted back into high with no issues. 
         I plan on working on it this weekend and would just like some opinions or feedback from anyone who may have experienced these problems before. I'm very mechanically inclined but im unsure of exactly where to start as this is the first Polaris ATV that I've owned. Any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance
