2000 Polaris Xplorer 4x4 Will Not Start

[matttrue]

I have a 99 or 2000 Xplorer 4x4 my daughter washed it for me and took the seat off so not sure if she got some water where she wasn't supose to or I just have a problem.

I started it fine after she washed it and now two days later it won't start!

I changed the spark plug and smell gas when I tried to start it but just wont take off! I pulled the plug and pulled the starter chord and it will spark just wont do anything.

Also I need a good battery

Thanks a million for the help guys I am a career Firefighter so I have no idea how to really do thing like this or know about this stuff at all!

well a battery might be the cause to ur problems..but was she using a power washer? also i would check the oil make sure no water got in their and check the air filter

Check the air cleaner. If it was dirty, then the water may have made it muddy and clogged it up worse, and could have gotten even more restricted after it dried and hardened.

Guys thanks a bunch I will check it again, I don't remember there being really alot of dirt on the spounge looking thing under the seat but I'll make sure.

She didn't use a power washer just the hose and I told her to be carefu around that.

I have pull started it for months now and its fired right up, just too lazy to get a new battery.
