Hi,
I have a 1994 Polaris SL650. Runs great for 15-20 sec intervals on trailer but, upon putting it in the lake this spring it didn't sound right. Took the seat off and noticed that one of the plugs wasn't getting hot like the other 2. Replaced the plug and took it back it out. Still had the same problem. So we put it back on the trailer and took it home. All three cylinders have good compression. My husband took the carb off and it was in good shape. Put a rebuild kit on the carb that was causing problems and put it back together. I guess the spark plug was getting soaked with gas. I read in another forum that it was a symptom of a bad reed so I ordered a new set of reeds for it. Do the reeds come out as one unit or do they come out individually. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
