no spark

I have a 2002 Polaris scrambler 90 that has no spark. It lost spark a few months ago after I shut it off to take a short break after riding for a while and about an hour later when I tried to start it again, it would not start. It always started in the first kick so this was a bit of a surprise...

Hey so I was given a 1988 Polaris trailboss R/es. I got it running after cleaning the carb. So it was running but not very well. Seemed to have low power, so I thought about a air leak. I changed the crank seals and as I was trying to get the fly wheel off I accidentally touched the stator and...

Hi Everyone can someone please tell me if the 2016 850 only fires one cylinder up until it starts then the other plug wire will spark? Please help

My 1998 Polaris magnum 425 recently lost spark. I was out riding when it bogged down and shut off. I let it cool down for a bit and then went to start it and the battery was dead. Tried pull starting it and the rope broke. Towed it home and let it sit for a couple days. Took the recoil apart...

hello I have a 2000 Polaris sportsman 335. The place I took it to said it for sure has no spark and it would need a new stator for sure. Could just the stator fix the problem or could there be more than just the stator? I would appreciate all of the comments back. Thanks also how easy is it to...

Ok... this is killing me. I have a 2004 sportsman 500 ho. Ive had it since new and all of a sudden almost a year ago it stopped running. I had some maintenance to do to it so I thought nothing of it and ordered a slew of parts and began the maintenance. After getting it all together I turned...

Hi I just bought a Polaris predator from a friend of my brothers about a week ago. On the first day of having it it ran good and no problems until that night. I was at my friends house and I was showing him how it sounded. Then all of a sudden the quad died on me. I wasnt worried about it so I...

I picked up a 1995 polaris trailboss 250. Anyways it's not getting a spark and I was wondering maybe something that's wrong with it. Thank you

Ok so I have spent the last couple days tearing this thing apart testing wires without a service manual (not for lack of looking) figuring out what wires run to where and what they do. I have found that when I unhook the wires that run from the key and kill switch to the black wire that runs to...

The magnets on the flywheel came off and stuck to the stator resulting in no spark. I epoxyed the magnets back to the inside and contacted rickystator.com They were a big help! They helped me test the charging part of the stator and conclude that it was fine. The issue was with the "spark...

Hello all, I have a 1995 Polaris Sportsman 400 that is not getting any spark when the key is turned on and the kill switch is in the run position. If I turn the key off and use the pull start to turn over the engine, I do get a spark. If the key is on and the kill switch is in the off position I...

Check all connections has new battery, it has a kick start. No spark !! Any suggestion??

I could not find a thread that covered this, so thought that I would add one. I experienced a no start on my 2004 500HO with 2800 miles on it. I had just backed it out of the garage to top off the gas and after filling it fired once and that was it. I checked that it was not flooded, and...

Hi I have a 2006 Sportsman 450 that had a dead battery. I was able to pull start it and it fired for about 5-10 seconds and sounded like it ran out of gas (Full tank). I then got charger and it has a 200 amp booster on it to start dead battries, I was able to start it again, and it fired, I shut...

Battery is good and lights work, however unable to get a spark. What and where should I check to find the issue?

The bike was running fine and sat for about 2 months or so over the winter. It was outside under a tarp. But went to start and wouldn't. I checked for spark and had none. Changed the spark plug and still no spark. On the CDI box there is: Black/Red White...
