First ride on the (new) polaris 750. Problems

[cajun66]

Took it out today for the first run. Did great for about an hour and then started bogging down, almost like it was running out of fuel. Didn't make a difference weather it was on run or reserve. I limped it back to the trailer and headed home. Gonna check the fuel filter if I can find it. Maybe change the fuel for fresh gas.

You didn't mention the yr, but you will need to go through the whole fuel system. If it has the grey Tempo brand fuel lines, you need to replace them. They release a green goo that cloggs the internal fuel strainers in the carbs as the lines start to break down internally. If it has a single outlet fuel pump, it would be wise to replace it with a triple outlet pump. The single outlet pump will cause fuel starvation as it gets old, and will cause a hole to be burn't in a piston from running lean. Usually the mag (front) cylinder first. You will need to do a compression test to be sure everything is ok with the engine. Depending on the year, it may have whats called a auto-****, and there was a tsb to remove it and block off it's pulse line that feeds it.
