If the engine is flooded or has no compression it will not fire on starter fluid.

You can check compression by removing the spark plug and pressing your thumb or finger over the hole. When you crank the engine, compression should forcefully push your finger off the hole with a pffft sound.

Suggest you check for water in fuel. Drain and capture fuel from the tank into an empty fuel container. Be sure to capture all the fuel, especially first flow. Give fuel container a good shake and promptly pour a sample (cup or so) of fuel from container into a clear glass jar. Wait a few seconds and look for a visible water line (water on bottom and fuel on top). If positive for water, drain carb fuel bowl and refill tank with FRESH fuel. Don't forget to check all fuel containers for water.

hi check the gear shaft ( not bend ) or worn shaft housing causing misalignment

Hi, re your problem, in most cases oil in a cooling circuit is a sign that your head gasket is damaged or worse case senario that the head is cracked. Take off the radiator cap and turn over the engine and see if you get any water coming out of the top of the rad. Hope this helps Steve

Something to do with your tuneup. Check the spark plugs and the timing.

Could be water in the fuel is it has a bowl-type carb

its the wire coming from the solenoid

there shoud be its own charging system there like a lil black box with three wires goin to it check and replace that

Hi JustinCheck to see if you have a clogged fuel filter...if the filter is ok then the fuel pump is probably defectiveBud

well first you have to let us now hat kind of car its on because some cars the hub has to be unbolted from the a arms and sway bar so tell us alittle more

There is something stuck in the reed valves holding them open. Are you having trouble keeping it running also-then that is your problem-Cheers Denny

could be a couple of things...., seals in the pump or the pump itself. The system has a leak, the system needs to be primed. filter is too clogged with D>E powder. Try backwashing , cleaning filter then stick a running hose into the top of the pump so the line is full, then when it stops gurgling pull yhe hose out close the lid as fast as possible and turn it on.

THere must be a problem with the quality of the plastic on the hose! Try to get some satisfaction from the dealer who sold it to you. If not, post a complaint with the manufacturer!

sounds like comutator needs replacing

sounds like the carb is gummed up try with it running to spray choke cleaner in the system this may clean out the system if not a carb rebuild will be needed

If the plug blew out of the hole,the threads are probably stripped out(this is why there is a torque specification for the plug,VERY important when you have an aluminum head!).The quickest fix is to get a threaded insert repair kit from an auto parts store(like a HeliCoil brand).The kit will have a drill bit,tap,and repair insert.It's either this,or replace the head(the Polaris repair tech will probably not give you the option of repairing the head unless it's no longer available,either way it'll be big$$ unless you can do it!).

there should be a piece of paper in the package that tells you if not call the parts store where you purchased it and they can tell you

DO A OVERHAUL OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHANGE THE SPARKPLUG.

We generally start at the wheel and steering assembly, of course remove the tire/rims assembly, remove the outter tie rod end from the steering spindle, remove the ball joint nuts, possibly brake caliper/ or cables, seperate the components from the spindle assy., remove the center hub nut securing the axle to the spindle assy. and then remove the hub/steering spindle from the outer cvjoint splined shaft, the axle assy. is then connected usually by an expansion ring inside the differential and by applying enough pressure pull the inner cvjoint shaft out of the differential sometimes the use of a prybar will aid in this.
