My sons 2004 Polaris Predator 90 ATV will stall when you give it gas. I have replaced the air filter and adjusted the carb but still the same. When I cup my hand over the air intake tube it will run good??? Any help as to what I can do would be nice. Thanks

You say it runs good when you block the air intake. That means the engine is getting less air, creating a richer fuel/air mixture. Remove the carb and clean it. The pilot jet might be restricted (clogged), and not allowing enough fuel to enter. Turn on the choke a little. If it runs better, then that's the problem - clean the carb.

Sounds like the problem would haave to be a simple adjustment somewhere. I don't know exactly what though. If you live near a decent Polaris dealer, I would take it to them and see if they can give you an idea. I have friends that own a Polaris dealer and they told me that if a customer has a quick and simple problem that they can fix in just a matter of minutes, they will do it right then and there to get the customer going instead of having them leave it. Or call them and ask to talk with a service technician to see if he will give you an idea over the phone that you could try yourself.

This same thing happened to me like you sad it would work we you blocked the intake tube. I took the carb apart and blow out everthing in it and it worked. I'm only fourteen and I did it so its not that hard and my quad ran as it was brand new after that,
I would be very careful to there is a spring that might pop out it happened to and make sure you remeber where everything goes and dont lose anyparts if you have anymore questions email me at joejoejoe6223@aol.com

carb troubles due to something loose or internal carb jet stuck type probblem. be carefull I turned my very nice kz100 into a hot tamale when i pulled the air filter out to see why it was boggin out on # 2 cyclinder. it has cost me about 1800 $ now and I ride a klr 250 while waiting for still more parts. My advise tighten what can be tightened then take it to the shop if the fuel wont go away. fuel in airbox is float or stuck jet issue not fun after lit.

You need to clean out the main jet of the carb. It is easy to get to and I can do it in about 5-10min. I'm 99% sure this is your problem.
