Default Sportsman 500 Problem, HELP???
My polaris will not start now. It will just turn over and that is about it. I just changed my spark plug for the first time today, and it is still doing the same thing as before. Anybody got any suggestions???

Thanks for you thoughts. It has been just sitting for around a month, but I will go try to drain the gas tank and see what happens. Thanks again!!!

Would try drain the carb float bowl first that where the gas has to go through last. Or try some starting spray in intake.
