What to do if my KTM Offroad Vehicle engine turns but does not start?
- RRicky BrownJul 28, 2025
If your KTM Offroad Vehicle's engine turns over but doesn't start, there are several potential causes and solutions: * **Operating Error**: Make sure to follow the correct engine starting procedure. * **Old Fuel**: If the vehicle has been sitting for a while, the fuel in the float chamber may be old. In this case, empty the carburetor float chamber. * **Fuel Feed Interrupted**: Check the tank breather, clean the fuel tap and clean the carburetor. * **Engine Flooded**: Clean and dry the spark plug, replacing it if necessary. * **Spark Plug Issues**: If the spark plug is oily or wet, clean and dry it, replacing it if needed. Also, check the electrode distance (plug gap) and adjust it to the recommended 0.6 mm (0.024 in) if it's too wide.
