You need to call Polaris of send them an e-mail on their website. They will be able to tell you exactly which model year and model the engine came from by the serial number. They may be able to tell you about the CDI box. If everything looks good as far as the parts interchange, and timing adjustments, then rebuild the carburetor with a new float and throttle spring. be careful to put the keeper clip on the correct groove of the needle valve and be extra careful when bending the float arm for proper travel. (Motorcycle shops have a special tool for doing this if you want absolute precision.)

2004 Polaris Sportsman 600. It is running like it's jumped time?

Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category.

I have two thoughts on this.

You either have water in the electrics from hosing the mud off, especially if you used a power washer.

Or

If mud and water got into the stator and coated the sensor for the CDI. It is magnetic, but in close proximity.

Basically strip and clean and spray WD40 in connectors.

Other ideas here. The ATV forums are a great resource.

Some models have a reverse gear lock on them which will make them stop when the engine light is 'on'. If the engine used was one of these and yours didn't have the reverse gear safety on it that could be your problem. A Polaris dealer will be able to tell you from the engine number what year it is. If it is the same year and model, it could be the timing adjustment. If you validate the timing adjustment, then its the carburetor. Rebuild it.
