I really don’t know much about ATV mechanics so I need some help. I have a 2000 Polaris Scrambler 400 4×4 that has been sitting in my dad’s pole barn for about the past ten years without running. Last fall I tried starting it and it started just fine but then after a few seconds the engine would die. Eventually, after many tries, it stopped cranking altogether. I’m aware that sitting around for that long it will have some problems but it’s in good condition and i just need to know what i need to do to get it running.
