Great video thank you for taking the time. I have spark and all the tests described in your video checked out properly in on my machine. The problem I am having is that it will only start manually with the pull cord or jumping with a 200A boost charger. It has a new factory Polaris starter, new pull starts assembly and a new battery as well. I have cleaned the flywheel and pickup eye off. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Fuel system is good as well and carb is adjusted properly. Thank you
This is a great video but there's more reasons a Polaris will not get fire. Kill/Start switch if it's bad then pull the black wire on ur CDI box. If you get fire then change that switch. OR, its in the throttle housing for ur thumb control on handle bars. There's a kill switch incase there incase the throttle cable breaks or hangs up wide open. pop open the top and separate the contacts with a piece of wood. If you have fire then adjust them not to touch. good luck
Thanks buddy for the video really help i have sportsman 400 ,make me going crazy was not working like 5 years first I change the stare bendix carburetor fuel pump and i have not apart or something i have . Going buy tester.thanks again
This video is outstanding! My question is I have 104 ohms instead of 97 ohms at my trigger coil. Is there a tolerance? Problem is I have no spark and Im down to checking wiring and all associated components. Thanks
I enjoyed your videos, I have a few questions, where can I get the testing flow chart you used? I followed along and checked mine and the pulse coil, magneto , grounds are good, I still have no spark, I replaced the pulse coil, replace spark plug and the cdi box. How do you check the cdi box? My new box could be bad since everything else passed
Thank u for the video been looking everywhere for a video like this Cause I have that Problem with a Honda 4oo Ex and I replaced a whole Lot of part , and realized in the end that it is the stator So Now have to replace that, thank u again,
2001 trail boss. ok it runs fine on old cdi but wont shut off. put new ignition and handle bar switches and stator still wont shut off even touching black on cdi to ground. so put new cdi on and now no spark even with black unplugged from cdi. any help ????
I saw a video on how to test for a short on a truck or car using a test light. You simply disconnect the negative lead to the battery, hook up your test light to the lead, then put the probing end of the test light to the negative battery post. If the light comes on, you have a short. I was wondering if this trick is also valid for ATV's since they use a different charging system. Thanks
Is this the same procedure to use on a 2002-03 polaris 6x6 500 with a carburetor ?? Replaced just about everything except ignition switch , and still no spark !!?? Any ideas ?? Thank you !!
Good day, I really need your help. I have a Polaris sportsman 500, 2004 carburetor. I can’t find a spark, I checked everything as in your video, but everything is fine. Maybe you can send a wering diagram
What would cause a polaris sportsman 700 2002 automatically shut off when I put it in reverse everything else is fine with the transmission I'm thinking there is a safety switch is bad or something I'm just got it and I'm leaning as I go
My polaris 500 sportsman showed codes for manifold air pressure sensor, air temp sensor and engine coolant sensor. Can you help me figure out what I need to check to fix these
I have a 2003 Sportsman 500 HO and I'm trying to change the spark plug. I took off the red cap and see threads but I can't figure out how to get to the plug. I tried to open the unit its sitting in but there seems to be a gasket and I don't want to destroy it. How do I get to it in order to unscrew it! Thanks. Beth
I have a 99 magnum 500 ran beautiful one day I go to start it and no spark....I've used multi meter and I'm getting NO continuity between pin on coil to spark plug boot....took boot off nothing between coil and wire and also nothing between the boot itself....Also I had to check stator which was testing ohms by a black w red trace wire and the one next to it but I forgot the colors...The ohm meter is picking up nothing. So am I missing something or could all of these go wrong over night. I'm gonna need this kit along with a stator and new plug wire with boot. I just can't believe it was running one day then all this! Any help is appreciated
I've watched this video and used it step by step for my no spark problem. I have a 2000 scrambler 500 HO 4x4. I've changed every electrical part. new stator and pulse coil. 3 different ignition coils. CDI box. voltage regulator. I didn't replace the reverse interrupt box. I seen a comment about the throttle box safety wires. I separated the contacts with a piece of wood and the damn thing had fire!!!!!! it even sputtered. I was soooo happy! been over a year saving money hear and there for parts. then I tried again would not start because once again. no fire. It had orange fire and now nothing. again. went back to this video and checked everything and everything looks correct readings. Any thoughts??
Hi mate, how are you doing? Grettings from Brazil. I hope you can help me out on this trobleshooting. Let me get strait to the point. I just got a POLARES 330 CC, 2003 and I realized that my CDI box is not working, something bad might happened. I did some researches on the internet, youtube and i notice the the best thing to do is basiclly replace it, get a brand new one. However, to get it down here is so expensive. So, I´d like to try a MOTOBIKE CDI BOX. What are you recommend? Have you ever try it? PLEASE HELP ME. I aprecciate it. Thanks so much. Excuse my inglish is bit rusty.
my97 sportsman passes all these test it just won't start in real cold weather warm weather starts always when i place a heater front of motor for 10 to 15 minutes the machine starts right up, need help any tips would help
mark i have a prblm with my polaris 500cc 2000 its starts but when i accelerate it just dies and trows the gasoline out from the carburator, then it just shuts down, but i figure out i have weak spark, can you help me ill apreciate it thanks
I have a 2005 Polaris 500 h.o. 4x4 i have spark when i use the pull rope to start engine but when i use the electric start there is no spark what could be the problem here. I replaced with new battery. it will only start up if i use the pull start meaning pulling the rope to turn engine over. Thank you
I have a 2003 polaris Scrambler 500×4, it's been sitting for a few years, it doesn't have many hours on it but after sitting for so long the battery is dead, so I got another one and it won't idle properly. I know I need to get it tune up, we also have a 2×500, any idea on what or where to start?
Where did you buy that ignition coil from? I have bought 2 on ebay, both ended up having about 2500ohms resistance without the cap so they didnt work. I can't seem to find one with 6300ohms as specified in the book.
Great video! I need a little help with my 03 Magnum 330 2wd. Any chance you could share a schematic that depicts physical circuit structure and wire colors. I have photo copys of a polaris shop manual with the diag flow chart just like the one you exhibit in this video, however I do not nor can I find the schematic w/wire colors and the pinpoint test result specs. My quad was running great for years, until one day my daughter was riding, as I watched her begin to ride off it back fired (through the exhaust) 2 or 3 consecutive times and then died. I got it to fire one time since. I don't have any spark. Complicating matters beyond the no spark, my son figured he'd try to figure it out. His diag routine ultimately led to him disconnecting basically everything ( hard shell connectors, coil mount, the 2 CDI or ECM's, speedo head, all related steering column connections and all the grounds ) under the hood. If you can't share the manual, could you please denote the related wire colors and proper connection locations i.e. ign coil, wires to and from the ecm's and power/ground locations. I know there's only a few related connections, but I need to make sure of wire colors, power and ground loc's. My pulse coil has 60 ohms, not sure of the DC output from the pickup coil/stator. The manual states that a PEAK VOLTAGE capture device is needed for diagnosis, is this true? Why would an old-school analog vom on a SUN VAT-40 starting and charging tester not be able to display the PEAK VOLTAGE and consistent needle swing while cranking? Also there are several spade connectors extruding out of the main harness that are NOT connected to anything..is that normal typically? I don't have a schematic to verify the correct wiring of any of them to determine whether or not they are used at all or for what purpose. Thank you in advance for any help...I look forward to your reply! Dave all_city_petroleum@yahoo.com
