What to do if my Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine turns but fails to start?

If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine turns but fails to start, potential causes include a faulty ignition, which may be resolved by installing new spark plug(s). If the engine still doesn't start, check for spark; if there's no spark, consult your dealer. Another cause could be no fuel reaching the engine; ensure the fuel valve is on, use the choke, and confirm the fuel tank contains fuel. Ice in the fuel line, filter, or pump can also prevent starting, so add isopropyl alcohol to the fuel system. Poor engine compression, possibly due to a lean mixture, indicates a major engine problem requiring professional repair.
