  If your Ski-Doo Offroad Vehicle's engine turns over but doesn't start, make sure all switches, including the ignition, emergency cut-out, and tether switch, are in the RUN or ON position. Check the fuel tank level and choke operation to ensure the mixture is rich enough. If the engine is flooded, remove the wet spark plug, turn the ignition off, crank the engine, and install a clean, dry spark plug. If there's no fuel, check the fuel tank level, fuel valve, and fuel/impulse lines. Also, inspect the spark plug for spark, ensuring the emergency cut-out switch is on and the tether is connected. If there's no spark, replace the spark plug. If problems persist after these checks, it's best to contact an authorized dealer.

  If your Ski-Doo Offroad Vehicle lacks acceleration or power, the first thing you should check is the spark plug. If the spark plug is not the issue, check the fuel supply to the engine. If the issue persists, it could be due to carburetor adjustments, clutch issues, or engine overheating, all of which require contacting an authorized dealer. If the engine is overheating, try cleaning the cooling fins.

  Erika WilsonAug 11, 2025
  If your Ski-Doo Offroad Vehicle experiences backfiring, the issue might be a faulty spark plug with carbon accumulation. In this case, refer to the instructions for checking the spark plug. Another potential cause is the engine running too hot; see the instructions for when the engine lacks acceleration or power. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the ignition timing may be incorrect, or there could be an ignition system failure, which requires contacting an authorized dealer.
