What to do if my Argo Aurora 950 SX Offroad Vehicle engine turns over but won't start?
- M
  Mrs. Amber MurrayAug 18, 2025
  If your Argo Offroad Vehicle's engine turns over but won't start, several factors could be at play. First, check if the fuel tank is empty and refill it if needed. A blocked fuel or air filter could also be the culprit; remove any obstructions or replace the filter. Inspect the spark plugs for defects or fouling; clean and re-gap or replace them. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the ignition system might be inoperative, or there could be insufficient compression, requiring service by a trained mechanic or an authorized engine repair outlet.

How to fix an inoperative electric starter on my Argo Aurora 950 SX?
- T
  Tiffany GrahamAug 21, 2025
  If the electric starter on your Argo Offroad Vehicle is inoperative, begin by checking for loose electrical connections and clean and re-tighten them. If that doesn't solve the problem, the battery charge may be low or dead; recharge or replace the battery as needed. If the issue persists, the starter motor may be faulty, in which case you should return the vehicle to an Argo dealer for servicing.

What to do if my Argo Offroad Vehicle will not move or turn?
- J
  josephmeyersAug 23, 2025
  If your Argo Offroad Vehicle won't move or turn, ensure the transmission is properly engaged and not in neutral. Check the drive belt for wear and replace it if excessively worn. If these aren't the cause, the clutch may not be engaging or there could be a transmission failure, requiring service at an Argo dealer. Also, inspect the brakes for proper function; adjust the caliper or replace brake pads if needed. Finally, check for a broken idler sprocket weld and repair or replace it.

Why does my Argo Aurora 950 SX pull to the right?
- Z
  Zachary ColemanAug 26, 2025
  If your Argo Offroad Vehicle pulls to the right, start by checking the tire pressure. If the right tire pressure is too low or the left tire pressure is too high, inflate all tires to the correct pressure. Also, ensure the handlebar is held parallel to the dash and adjust the brake assembly if the right brake is engaged. Finally, inspect the right side drive chain for breakage and repair or replace it as necessary.

How to fix an air leak in my Argo Offroad Vehicle tire?
- D
  Duane ClarkAug 28, 2025
  If your Argo Offroad Vehicle tire is leaking air, it may be punctured. Remove the tire from the rim and repair the hole with a radial tire patch or install a tube. If the tire isn't properly seated on the bead, deflate it, carefully push the tire bead off the rim, clean the rim bead area, and re-inflate the tire. If the leak's position isn't obvious, submerge the tire and rim in water to check for leaks through the rim halves or valve stem. If the valve is defective, replace it.

Why is my Argo Aurora 950 SX vibrating so much?
- J
  Joseph RossAug 31, 2025
  If your Argo Offroad Vehicle experiences severe vibration during operation, the engine might be loose on its mounts, requiring service at an Argo dealer. A defective driver or driven clutch or engine could also be the cause, also needing dealer service. Inspect for a bent axle, which should be removed and straightened or replaced, or a bent wheel rim, which should be replaced. Lastly, check for a worn or damaged drive belt, which should be replaced, and consider clutch service.

What causes ineffective brakes on my Argo Aurora 950 SX Offroad Vehicle?
- T
  tabbottSep 2, 2025
  If the brakes on your Argo Offroad Vehicle are ineffective, the pads may have overheated and glazed, or they may be contaminated with lubricant; in either case, have the pads cleaned by an Argo dealer or replace them. Also, if the pads are worn beyond 0.10", replace them.

How to stop water leaks into the lower body of my Argo Offroad Vehicle?
- C
  Christopher LeSep 5, 2025
  If water leaks into the lower body of your Argo Offroad Vehicle, it could be due to a leak at the axle bearing flange; replace the bearing flange gaskets. A damaged bearing flange seal can also cause leaks; replace the bearing flange seal. Water may also be leaking around the outer bearing flange bolts; caulk under the bolt heads with silicone sealer. A cut or punctured lower body will also allow water in; repair or replace the vehicle's lower body. Finally, ensure the drain plugs are securely in place.

What causes a loud bang when turning my Argo Offroad Vehicle?
- D
  Douglas FosterSep 7, 2025
  If you hear a loud bang when turning your Argo Offroad Vehicle, the idler chains or drive chains may be worn or loose. Adjust or replace them as needed.

Why doesn't my Argo Aurora 950 SX Offroad Vehicle respond well to steering input?
- M
  maryvaughnSep 10, 2025
  If your Argo Offroad Vehicle doesn't respond well to steering input, there might be air in the hydraulic system; have an Argo dealer bleed the brake. A leak in the system could also be the cause; have an Argo dealer check all fittings, hoses, calipers, and seals for loose connections or leakage and refill as needed. Loose brakes may also be the problem; adjust or tighten them.
