I have a pretty lightly used (2800 miles) original engine 1995 Polaris Indy 500 XLT 500 triple. I had no problems with it up until last year. It began to be really difficult to start and would not idle. So I first attempted to adjust the carbs with no good results, then dismantled them for cleaning and inspection. I that two of the choke plungers were stuck in place which would explain the hard starting and stalling at idle. It would run fine when up to speed.
So, I installed a new choke cable, cleaned the choke passages, carbs and jets. Problem solved right? Well, it did solve the stalling at idle and difficulty starting. Now the problem I have is that it won't idle below 4k...meaning it's like it's stuck in that position. I have read that bad crank seals could be one possible cause. I don't think that is it because the problem began right after I had worked on it and the plugs are not showing a lean condition at all. I did notice that the throttle cable is stretched and I have slop at the throttle cable. I ordered a new throttle cable and am waiting for it to arrive. I also have the carb idle adjustments at their lowest setting and it didn't help. I drained the tank, put in new fuel and have cleaned the carbs twice. This is a very frustrating problem, help is appreciated!
