Does the engine turn over or does the starter just spin? If the starter does not engage it could need replaced. I replaced mine on my 96 xp800 few years ago. Also in the box beside the battery look for cororsion or anything that might have a bad connection.

pull the starter and check it by connecting a battery or battery charger to it , black to the body of the starter and red to the bolt where the red wire connects to it. if the starter spins but oes not throw oout then its a ba dstarter or your battery is not good enough to fully operate the starter. hope this helps. and as always NEVER connect a battery charger to a battery thats in a ski or you could fry the mpem.
