Yea Chris has a very good point as far as running the correct tire sizes that they recommend. Not only bind things up but break things up..if running in 4wd that is.

Thanks guys, I never thought about different size tires binding things up. I am planning on getting a new set of the correct size tires for it very soon. I wanted to use it a bit first and make sure I had all of the mechanical issues fixed before I spend the money on tires. I looked at the tires again and they are actually the same size as the originals, although I think they look taller. I know sometimes sizes can vary by manufacturer. I’ll be careful with it and avoid using the 4WD until I get the new tires just to be safe.
On-demand. It does not have a rear diff lock.
I got an early Christmas present, my dad got me a set of tires. I have to paint the wheels before I put them on, I’ll probably work on that this week. I think these will be good in the snow.
We had some snow Saturday, so I tried plowing again. It ran great for about 15 minutes, then the carburetor started flooding again. I thought I had that fixed. I’m going to take it off and check the float again, but I’m probably going to end up getting a used oem carb to rebuild. I think this Amazon carb I put on it is just junk.

I have had the carb off to adjust the float at least 5 times now. Right now I have it set to where Polaris recommends. I have tried it higher and lower too. The last time I put the float from the old carb in it thinking maybe the new one was bad. Each time I adjust it, it seems ok, then after a while starts flooding again.
Does it use a fuel pump of some kind ?
Those sunf tires are tough. And the price is fantastic. I’m running the same tread pattern on my minibike. The factory tires went bald in a summer. I’ve ridden it twice as much with 4 times as much HP now and the Sunf tires are barely showing wear.
That was my thoughts to Chris. Or possibly excess pressure from the fuel pump? Not sure what it has for a fuel pump but I know I had a time getting that same issue solved in my 500 Ranger. His is probably a gravity feed system though with the tank up over the engine.
Do you have a fuel filter in line?
Yes, it has a vacuum pump.
I have heard good things about them. They will probably dry rot before I wear them out.
I guess that’s possible, but the tank was flushed, and it has new fuel lines, a filter and pump, so it should be clean.
It is a vacuum fuel pump. And if I remember right, it was a Mikuni that I bought at a Polaris dealer. I thought about temporarily running a line directly from the tank to the carb and see if it still floods, to rule out the fuel pump.
Yes.
That’s true for me on my ATV. I have a set of some or others on there. I’ve ridden it all of a couple miles in the last year and a half..
I put a pair on the back of my Wheel Horse GT and really like them. They provide excellent traction in the dirt.
Yep, last 2 to 4 times as long. Putting SunF on my Kubota side by side next year.
I ended up ordering a different carburetor. Another aftermarket one, but it had great reviews. It should be here today. I spent almost a whole day messing with this one and I still can’t get it to run right. I did some reading and the common conclusion seems to be that these Chinese carburetors are just junk, and they rarely ever run right with them.
I got my wheels painted too. Hopefully today or tomorrow I can get the new tires on, and get them back on the quad.

Could you get the tires mounted without scratching newly painted rims up...
I never had good luck with that..
