In this video I show you how to diagnose the fuel & Ignition systems, determine the problem, fix it, and get your Polaris RZR 170 running again. The RZR 170 is the child size UTV with the 169cc four stroke engine. **NOTE: The starter must be cranking for this video to be helpful. If it is not, please check the battery, starter solenoid, and starter.
