MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NUETRAL LIGHT ON THE DASH ?~!..IF NO LIGHT ?..NO SPARK !. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamp363 0 Posted May 6 Thanks for the reply. I have a neutral light. I have replaced everything that you had listed except the stator. Checked the stator and was within the specs. I am out of ideas. I know the machine had sat for a period of time. Is there anything that I am over looking. Oh, also replaced the kill switch. Same result Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same result Use OEM parts or chinese amazon/ebay stuff? If you're using anything but OEM parts, first thing to do is put your original parts back on to start troubleshooting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same result how did you test the c.d.i. ?, as i said...THERE IS NO TEST, OTHER THAN REPLACING WITH A KNOWN WORKING C.D.I. FROM ANOTHER ATV OF SAID MAKE/MODEL !. now...you can try tapping on c.d.i. while cranking it, while watching for spark at plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
