  If your Polaris Utility Vehicle engine backfires, start by refueling the vehicle. A weak spark from the spark plug could also be the issue, so inspect, clean, or replace the spark plugs. Make sure the spark plug gap and heat range are correct. Replace old or non-recommended fuel with fresh, recommended fuel. Check all ignition connections and tighten if loose. If there is water in the fuel, replace it with fresh recommended fuel. Check all exhaust connections.

  To prevent drive belt wear or burn on your Polaris Utility Vehicle, especially when loading onto a pickup or tall trailer, use low range. When starting on a steep incline, also use low range. If driving at low RPM or ground speed (3-7 MPH), increase your speed or use low range more often.

  If your Polaris Utility Vehicle engine turns over but fails to start, first, refuel the vehicle. If that doesn't work, the fuel filter may be clogged, or there may be water in the fuel. In this case, drain the fuel system and refuel. Also, old or non-recommended fuel can cause this issue, so replace it with fresh, recommended fuel. Inspect the spark plugs and replace if needed. Check all ignition connections and tighten if loose. Ensure the battery is charged to 12.8 VDC.

  If your Polaris Utility Vehicle engine stops or loses power, the first step is to refuel it. Other potential causes include a kinked or plugged fuel tank vent line or filter, which you should inspect and replace if necessary. If there's water in the fuel, replace it with new fuel. Inspect, clean, or replace fouled or defective spark plugs, and ensure the spark plug gap and heat range are correct. Also, check and tighten any loose ignition connections, and make sure the battery is charged to 12.8 VDC.

Clean radiator screen and core, clean engine exterior, check coolant level, see your dealer if condition persists.
