What to do if my Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine turns but won't start?
If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle's engine turns but doesn't start, it could be due to a few reasons. First, try installing new spark plugs and check for spark. If there's no spark, consult your dealer. Another reason could be no fuel reaching the engine.
