1994 Polaris Indy Sport 440. Why does it run great but rattle? Sometimes it will backfire out of a carb, which I'm assuming is too much fuel.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to a Polaris Snowmobile category. Rattling is almost certainly the automatic clutch. Backfiring could be due to a few things, and is often lean mixture via the carb rather than rich mixture in the exhaust. Check the plug electrode. Black means it rich, chalky white means it's lean. The correct colour is a straw hue and no fouling. Backfiring is a well known issue. Check timing as well. https://www.google.com/search?q=1994+polaris+indy+sport+440+backfires+through+carb Rattling can be other things as well as listed here https://www.google.com/search?q=1994+polaris+indy+sport+440+rattles ..

How do i adjust a clutch on a 1997 polaris xlt?

Remove the clutch cover then the spider (special tool required) there are some washers to add between the spider and engine side of clutch shaft to set pulley width. But before you do that when engine is off does belt have side clearance? If the answer is yes, you may only need a new clutch spring as they loose tension with time and idle speed may be engaging clutch
