Hey Guys! First of all, Great Website! Been using it for years, although first time posting.
My issue has been going on for over a year, so here it is…
Last winter I was driving my Sportsman, With no problems. Got a Great Deal on it, The Stator and Flywheel had just been changed by a Polaris Dealer with the previous owner.
Then one day, I fired it up, with full choke because it was a chilly day in Northern Ontario.
I let her warm up for a few minutes then sat on the quad, closed the Choke and it DIED. Tried starting up again, but nothing. The engine would turn over, but would not start. With choke, no choke. I checked the gas, I had plenty. My gas was set to "On".
So here is what I’ve done so far:
– Charged my Battery, Nothing.
– Starter Spray in the Intake, Nothing.
– Checked for spark, None. That’s when I knew it was an electrical problem.
– Changed my Spark Plugs, Nothing.
– Bought a Spark Plug Kit with a tester, It doesn’t light up.
– Checked and Replaced the fuse next to the Battery.
– Tried boosting the Battery, No spark. ( Still turns over)
– Finally I opened up the Circuit Breakers (In the Black Pouch), 1 out of the 3 was completely corroded. (Gonna go buy a new one)
Would anyone know if that could be the problem?? I know it’s not looking good for the CDI Box, But im trying everything else first. Don’t want to spend +500$ On a update CDI Kit when I don’t need to.
UPDATE: I have to buy a new battery now, I brook my positive post on my old one, Should be getting it by this weekend.
Thanks in advance for all your help, Like I said, I’m trying everything else first before I have to buy a CDI Box in case that isn’t even the problem!
