so i just bought my first 4 wheeler. its a 97 polaris scrambler 500 4×4. bought it not running from the second owner. with very little effort, i got it running. starts up and idles great. has no power and back fires through the carb. did a little looking and i guess the cam is a problem. so yanked the valve cover off, and sure enough, the exhaust lobe is warn.
my question is, i want to put the h.o cam, or a hotcam in
do i just buy a replacment cam and rocker for a 01 sportsman 500 ho?
what jets should i put in the carb? stock h.o jets?
i saw where the h.o carbs are a little bigger compared to the non h.o
would i be better off getting a hot cam? i didnt buy it to go mudding, or to make a hotrod (i have a 10 sec camaro and a corvette for that ;]) me and my buddies like riding trails, and climbing hills. however they all run modded banshee’s so id like to atleast somewhat keep up.
all help is much appreciated.
heres a link to the cam i was looking at. if a hotcam is smarter, please post a link!
