If your ATV won't turn over, there are several possible causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Check the battery. Make sure the battery is properly connected and has enough power to start the ATV. You can test the battery with a voltmeter to check the voltage. If the battery is dead or low, you will need to charge or replace it.
2. Check the starter. The starter is responsible for turning over the engine. If the starter is not working, the engine will not be able to start. You can check the starter by listening for a clicking sound when you press the starter button. If you do not hear a clicking sound, the starter may be faulty and will need to be replaced.
3. Check the spark plug. The spark plug is responsible for creating the spark that ignites the fuel in the engine. If the spark plug is faulty or not properly gapped, the engine will not be able to start. You can check the spark plug by removing it and looking for signs of wear or damage. If the spark plug is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced.
4. Check the fuel system. Make sure the fuel tank has enough fuel and that the fuel lines are not kinked or blocked. You can also check the fuel pump to make sure it is working properly. If the fuel system is not working properly, the engine will not be able to start.
5. Check the air filter. The air filter is responsible for filtering the air that enters the engine. If the air filter is clogged, the engine will not be able to get enough air and will not be able to start. You can check the air filter by removing it and looking for signs of dirt or debris. If the air filter is dirty, it will need to be cleaned or replaced.
If you have checked all of these things and your ATV still won't turn over, you may need to take it to a mechanic for further diagnosis.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure the ATV is in neutral gear before trying to start it.
- If the ATV has been sitting for a long time, you may need to prime the engine by turning the ignition switch on and off a few times before trying to start it.
- If the ATV is cold, you may need to use the choke to start it.
