If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle's engine turns over but doesn't start, consider these potential causes and solutions: * Out of fuel: Refuel, cycle key to ON position three times for 5 seconds each, then start. * Clogged fuel filter: Replace the filter. * Water is present in fuel: Drain the fuel system and refuel. * Old or non-recommended fuel: Replace with fresh recommended fuel. * Fouled or defective spark plug(s): Inspect plugs and replace if necessary. * No spark to spark plug: Inspect plugs, verify stop switch is on. * Water or fuel in crankcase: Immediately see your Polaris dealer. * Low battery voltage: Recharge the battery to 12.8 VDC. * Mechanical failure: See your dealer.
