  Colton TaylorAug 17, 2025
  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle's engine turns over but doesn't start, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure you have fuel. If fuel is present, check for dirt in the fuel line or filter, and clean or replace them if necessary. Inspect and repair the fuel valve if fuel isn't passing through. Also, check, repair, or replace the fuel pump if it's inoperative or restricted. Clear the tank vent if it's plugged. Inspect and repair the carburetor starter circuit. If the engine is flooded, drain excess fuel. Check compression and repair as needed if it's low. Finally, replace or clean the spark plug if it's fouled.

Wet sumping should be checked and repaired. Worn rings, piston, or cylinder require inspection and replacement as necessary. Worn valve guides or seals should be inspected and replaced. A restricted breather should be cleared or replaced. Finally, a dirty or contaminated air filter should be cleaned or replaced.

  Jamie BarnesSep 8, 2025
  Piston failure and scoring in your Polaris Offroad Vehicle can result from a lack of lubrication, so ensure proper lubrication. It can also be caused by dirt entering the engine through cracks in the air filter or ducts, so inspect and repair these components. Another cause could be dirty or contaminated engine oil, so change the engine oil.

Why is my Polaris Offroad Vehicle leaking at the water pump weep hole?
- D
  diazashleySep 12, 2025
  If there's a leak at the water pump weep hole on your Polaris Offroad Vehicle, it could be due to a faulty water pump mechanical seal causing a coolant leak, in which case you should replace the mechanical seal. Alternatively, it could be a faulty pump shaft oil seal causing an oil leak, and you should replace the pump shaft oil seal.
