Why won't my Can-Am Offroad Vehicle engine turn over?
- K
  Karen PowellAug 12, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Can-Am Offroad Vehicle engine won't turn over. It could be due to the ignition switch being in the OFF position, so ensure it is in the ON position. Check that the engine stop switch is in the ON position. Make sure the transmission is set to NEUTRAL and that you're applying the brakes (front or rear). A burnt fuse or weak battery with loose connections could also be the cause. Check the main fuse, the charging system fuse, and the condition of the connections and terminals. Have the battery checked, or contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer.

What to do if my Can-Am Offroad Vehicle engine turns over but fails to start?

  If your Can-Am Offroad Vehicle engine turns over but doesn't start, the mixture might not be rich enough, so check the fuel tank level and starting procedure, paying attention to the choke. If the engine is flooded (spark plug wet), refer to SPECIAL PROCEDURES. If there's no fuel reaching the engine (spark plug dry), check the fuel tank level and ensure the fuel valve is ON (try RES). A fuel pump or carburetor failure may also be the reason, or contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer. Also, check the spark plug and ignition: verify the main fuse, ensure the ignition and engine stop switches are ON, and test the spark plug by grounding it to the engine. Replace if needed. If issues persist, or if there's a major loss of compression, contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer.

  If your Can-Am Offroad Vehicle engine lacks acceleration or power, it could be due to several factors. Check the spark plug condition and fuel supply. A dirty air filter/box could be the cause; inspect the air filter, clean if necessary, check for deposits in the air filter housing drain, and verify the air intake tube position. Also, disengage the parking brake. For carburetor adjustments, CVT issues, improper valves adjustment, or persistent overheating, contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer.

For exhaust system leakage, incorrect ignition timing, ignition system failure, improper carburetor setting, or antipollution system failure, contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer. Also, check if the engine is running too hot.

  If your Can-Am Offroad Vehicle engine is misfiring, it could be due to a fouled, damaged, or worn spark plug; clean, verify the spark plug and heat range, and replace if required. Another cause could be water in the fuel, so drain the fuel system and refill with fresh fuel.

Why is the transmission lever hard to move on my Can-Am Offroad Vehicle?
- J
  jenniferelliottSep 4, 2025
  If the transmission lever on your Can-Am Offroad Vehicle is hard to move, it could be because the transmission gears are in a position that prevents the lever from working; rock the vehicle back and forth to move the gears. If the engine idle speed is too high, adjust it. For CVT issues, contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer.

  Robin MartinSep 8, 2025
  If the RPM increases but your Can-Am Offroad Vehicle doesn't move, ensure the transmission is set in REVERSE or FORWARD, as it might be in NEUTRAL. For issues related to a dirty or worn-out CVT or water in the CVT housing, contact an authorized Can-Am distributor/dealer.
