Good connections and also the battery would be the first things to eliminate. Most people overlook these. Batteries may show 12+ volts fully charged but under a load test if it drops to 9.5 volts or less, the battery is toast. Here's a good article on this especially how to load test a battery.https://www.batterystuff.com/blog/ho...ry-is-bad.html If the battery is eliminated as the problem then check with a meter or test light that voltage is jumping from the battery side of the solenoid to the starter cable side. If there isn't power to this side then the solenoid is more than likely the problem. If you do have voltage leading to the starter then it could be as simple as removing the red cover on the starter,loosen the 10mm nut,turn the cable around a little to remove any corrosion,then tighten the nut. If that doesn't work then sounds like the starter needs replacing. Plenty of cheap starters and solenoids on amazon or ebay if needed along with this place.http://www.dbelectrical.com/c-1789-polaris.aspx
