  If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle's engine turns over but fails to start, the issue could be due to several reasons. First, ensure you have fuel in the tank by refueling if necessary. Water in the fuel can also prevent starting, so drain the fuel system and refuel. Old or non-recommended fuel should be replaced with fresh, recommended fuel. Inspect the spark plug for fouling or defects and replace if needed. Also, check for spark at the spark plug and replace the plug if there's no spark. Finally, low battery voltage can be a culprit, so recharge the battery to 12.8 VDC.
