Engines not turning over means different things to different people.
To me "not turning over" means the starter motor isn't turning the engine at all. To others it means the starter is turning but the engine isn't firing. So which problem are you having?
If the starter isn't turning at all then turn on the ignition and step on the brake. Look at your brake light. Is it on? The brake light must be on before you can activate the starter. It is a safety interlock to keep you from starting up with the quad in gear and have it take off unexpectedly. The brake switch is notorious for causing starting problems.
If your starter motor is turning but the quad isn't firing then you need to check for spark. Have you done that? Do you need help on how to do that?
