NOTE: Filter replacement is required if water is present.
3. Remove the spark plug.
4. Turn the engine over several times using the electric start.
5. Dry the spark plug and reinstall, or replace it with a new plug.
6. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying
procedure.
7. Take the ATV to your dealer for service as soon as possible,
whether you succeed in starting it or not.
NOTE: If water has been ingested into the PVT, follow the procedure
on page 105 for drying out the PVT.
