OP slumlord Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 66,797 TN	1995 4wd 2 stroke polaris scrambler Original owner me since day one. Been stored right here for 3 years untouched. Needed a fuel [bleep] off/reserve valve (leaking) $20 part. Just been running my old Yamaha after rehabbing the carb on it. So just getting back around this Polaris Decided it easier to pull the fuel tank. The more you get into it, the more you find. 3/16 fuel ilineand in-line screen look rotten. Sour gas ran out when pulled. Decided to go ahead and pull the carb (have done that a few times on this polaris) due to blue oil weeping into the carb via the injector reservoir. This mikuni always eagerly takes a flush and will run great after reinstall. Hopefully this time it will again. I’ve let this bike sit mothballed for 5 years a spell back. Brought it back from the dead then with just a carb flush and new battery. Decided to put on a fresh coolant top hose. Other goal is to get back together and run. Duh...ain’t doing any foo-foo TLC paint or touch up, it’s a mudder.

Used steering shaft came in today. Ordered some in stock stuff from bikebandit on Monday that still hasn't shipped.
