The older Polaris quads have a poorly sealed starter and if you open it up I'm sure you will find it has been sitting in water and that it's rusted. It even says in the manual, that after riding deep water, you should drain the starter.

If it isn't rusted bad, you can take the drive apart & grease it. It is all to common with the older 400s. Polaris even makes a special 'starter drive grease' just for it.
