How deep did you go mudding, might have got mud crammed up in something possibly, i'm not real sure. suck up anything in Air Box maybe. I would also say it's cause your riding a polaris, why don't you upgrade to an Arctic Cat

Make sure there is no water in your crank. Forget the Artic Kitten, you would have been sunk, and it would have blown up on you!

When you say it wont stare do you mean it will crank but not start? And when you say the spark is good does that mean you have a good BLUE ark when you crank it at the plug? If you are getting gas and good fire then I would check the air box then after that the exhaust to make sure there are no problems there and then do a compression test. As stated in the post above how deep did you go? Also as for the kitty cat, you are on the best ride there is with true 4X4 so don't pay any attention to that IMO LOL.

lol oh how fun it is to talk smack. I ride circles around those polaris's in mud I also sure do like the true 4x4, that lock in feature is great. Well I hope you figure out what's wrong and get it running. Good Luck

SarahMD give everyone more information so everyone her can try to help you. This is a good place to get information on how to fix your problem. I am not the best person here to get information from, but I have good mechanical knowledge and there are a lot of great people here with years and years of knowledge that can give you the best fix to your problem most of the time. But this is all up to you to send the information they need so everyone can try to help.
A good start from here would be the year and model of your Polaris and where you are at now with trying to get it fixed and as I stated before, exactly what it is doing. The members of this sight are great in the fact that they try to help everyone, but you have a few that try to just talk smack like the above posts.
