Every time I get done riding my Polaris Scrambler it is usually very muddy. Then I ride it up to the car wash and pressure wash it. Will this wreck the starter, because A guy told me if you get them wet, it is not good for them. Also is it it hard on anything else? is there cerain things you should stay away from? Please reply. Thanks

A garden hose would be the better bet, the high pressure can be a bad thing.

YOu will not wreck the starter by powerwashing. Just make sure the recoil handle is properly seated. Just stay away from the chain and controls, and don't blow the stickers off.

Be careful around the radiator too. A high pressure washer can flatten the fins and prevent airflow through the radiator.
