Question I need the spark gap and the carb settings if possible. I also would appreiciate any other tips you could give towards a better running machine. Thanks
Answer Hello Jared,
Congrats on buying a vintage Polaris! I will need to know the engine identification number, which is on a tag located on the crankcase. The reason for this is, the Gemini used 2 different motors that were both the same cc's but differed in specifications. I will be more than happy to send you all of the specs on the sled. Hope to hear from you soon. Good luck! --Arcticatman
