While waiting for parts, continue to inspect and perform electrical checks on wires you may have jostled while doing your other repair work. Use the schematic to double check the kill switch at all those connections on the right front of the quad. get some contact cleaner, permatex dielectric grease and a few plumbers flux brushes. Maybe a brass and nylon gun cleaning brushes. not steel brush. Disconnect and clean all those connections while you’re doing continuity checks—apply a thin film of the grease on the electrical contacts and the backshell of the connectors—you’ll find they snap together and disconnect more easily. Look for weak wires on the harness and subharness. every time i went to start mine i had a steady neutral light. When i cranked it the light would go out. So I swapped the neutral and reverse leads and tried again. Of course the reverse light came on steady and i got it to start—that was a hallelujah moment, because i knew the malfunction was isolated to the neutral wire portion of the circuit. i found the neutral switch connector wire hanging by 2-3 strands. Does your fan come on? Disconnect the oil temp sensor lead and touch it to the footpeg. The oil light should come on steady and fan should come on Yes fan comes on when grounded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I give him a hard time, but he knows his crap and has walked most of us through some hard stuff. We all like to tease him to get a reaction, but if you listen to him your crap will run again. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goober 1,555 Posted March 2, 2023 You’ll find it no doubt. Then you’ll have some hard-to-find spare modules You have aftermarket fuel pump on it? the coil may have color codes on the housing. The important thing about a coil is you have primary and secondary windings. The secondary has more windings (usually) and so the resistance values are different. So if you can’t tell the poles apart. Consult the service manual on coil measurements and put the meter to it. This is why Fish said to remove the coil spark plug cap. Then you inspect the spark plug wire for corrosion and nip off a bit. Then clean the spike end of the cap with a .22 cal bore brush 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odd enough a friend had a cdi box off of a late 90s honda. I plugged it in a heard the fuel pump click on! And it pumps or pulses when spinning it over. Still no spark though. Btw missed fishes post but have tried 4 or 5 coils 2 I knew was working 3 new aftermarket that is in specs. Thanks!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried, has voltage going to fuel pump relay. Won't pump when spinning over .. a guy had a 2000 honda fourtrax cdi box .. plugged it in.. heard fuel pump or relay click and with that cdi box the fuel pump works.. still no spark though. Thanks!

Raystrx350d 47 Posted March 14, 2023 I posted the problem on shadetrees post. He had me to put the old stator back in and there was a bad wire in the harness ( stator ) harness. I posted it there because I see so many people not come back and post the problem to help someone else. Thanks again for all the help.

jeepwm69 7,725 Posted March 14, 2023 I tease shade a lot on these forms, but I tease all my friends. Few people in this world know as much about old Hondas as he does, and even fewer will take the time to use that knowledge to help out another. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
