2012 Polaris Sportsman Won't start
Sorry in advance if this is the wrong spot. I have a 2012 Sportsman that ran then it didn't
388 miles
never ran through mud
literally use this thing to plow and move fire wood
Back story, started it up to move it. move about 15' shut it off.
Cranks but won't fire.
Has spark, fuel. Checked crank sensor (clean)
no codes
Any help would be great.
I have read the sticky on this machine.

Without knowing that specific machine and with very limited provided information, first things to check are going to be related to battery. Just because you have spark is no indication your battery is good. You do not mention age of battery. Have the battery load tested as only checking volts on it doesn't let you know if the battery is holding enough amps to start the machine. Also, you might consider just replacing the spark plug. Finally, remove, clean and reconnect all terminals; battery, starter, starter relay and chassis ground. Doing all those items surprisingly fixes many no-starts.

cleaned plugs, then sprayed starting fluid straight into the throttle bodies. Fired up then cleaned itself out 🤷🏼♂️
