1994 Polaris Big Boss 6x6 400L Stalls in Reverse Help!!!
« on: May 10, 2009, 11:35:51 AM »
I've been having issues with my Big Boss since last fall.  First thought it was the cold, then it appeared the CDI was shot, there was a crack in the case and at that time I could not get the stupid thing started at all, so it seemed to make sense.  Almost $300.00 later it starts, but won't stay running.  I replaced the drive chain as it was very stretched, Then I cleaned the carb, etc.. It helped but would not stay running unless I held the starter button on.  I replaced the Handlebar switch, another $100 down the toilet, Now at least it will stay running in drive, however sometimes I do still have to toggle the kill switch in order for it to stay running, However in Reverse, the only way I can get the stupid thing to back up is to continue switching the kill switch while giving it gas.  What is wrong with this stupid thing????  I'm going crazy and I really need to use this thing, it's muddy here and I use it to move hay for my horses.  HELP!!!!!!1

Since no one replied, I finally found the problem, had to remove the infamous black wire from the CDI box, it at least now runs all the time.  No more safety switch, but I'll live with that, stupid safety devices that cause more problems than they solve.
