Why does my Polaris Widetrack LX engine lack power?
S
Samuel TrujilloAug 23, 2025
If your Polaris Offroad Vehicle engine lacks power, consider these potential causes:
* **Spark Plug:** A fouled or defective spark plug can cause power loss. Try changing the spark plug and test the operation.
* **Fuel Filter:** A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, especially at high RPMs. Check the fuel filter flow by disconnecting the hose and draining about 1/2 cup of fuel. The fuel flow should be steady and encompass the entire diameter of the fuel line. If not, replace the filter.
* **Clutching/Carburetor and fuel pump:** For issues related to incorrect clutching or carburetor and fuel pump problems, it's best to see your dealer, as adjustments to change power output are not available.
