Polaris 350L Trailboss 4x4 was made up till 1994, then was replaced with a 400cc engine.  The 350 is a 2 stroke liquid cooled oil injected engine via a separate 2 quart capacity tank near the front rack for the injection oil.  Rated stock factory output is 32 horsepower which isn't fully realized until about 6000 rpm or so.  The fuel tank capacity is 4 gallons.  Machine weighs about 560 LBS  dry.  There are 5 grease zerks on the front axle, 2 zerks fittings on the steering post, 1 zerk on  the intermediate eccentric chain adjuster, 1 zerk on transmission output left side, and rear axle/swing arm has 3 zerk fittings to be greased.  This ATV  has 3 different 520 O-ring drive chains, one for the rear axle, and two to deliver power to  the front driving axle.  Rear brakes are inoperative if the transmission is not selected in a forward or reverse gear, which means the front axle only has braking capability in transmission neutral.

These quads are not what I would consider exactly family friendly and require moderate to excellent mechanical abilities to operate safely & keep them maintained properly.  They tend to have quirks with the 4 wheel drive disengaging occasionally that  require the machine to be backed up  while rocking handle bars side-to-side.  Parts can be expensive as they have been out of production for some time.  In my opinion the atv would be good for a collector but for a family unit I would pass on the fix it up  prospect.

im waiting for the guy to answer but  the ad just says Polaris 350 4x4 and when I google that, mostly all I find is the trailblazer, the pics are hard to see the quad but it has racks on it.
I'm not trying to be snobby, just to help but you couldn't give me one of those Po Pos.  Honda 420 or a Prairie or even old foreman?  Vinson, King, Brute, Cat, Honda or Grizzly.  Really a mid bore 500ish is all you need power wise unless you want to do 65-80mph or ride dunes.  I rode whole life and I'm telling you Polaris are $ repairs and break often.  Call Paulsons in Lacey a former dealership of Polaris and ask them what is/was broke in the service shop most?  Polaris buy a lot is the answer.  Some real good performing machines but not reliable in comparison to others.
MAGA!  Again..
