The most common reason why your Polaris Sportsman has no spark and is not firing. Here are some of the things your must check. In the video I accidentally called the voltage regulator the CDI module take note of that. The CDI module isn't shown in the video but I will try to address that in another video.

Got my 2000 scrambler 400 running after a few months of sitting, ran it for about 20 minutes, then outta no where she just died, had to push it home. I don’t have spark. Changed the plug and still nothing. What are some things to look for ? I’ve read kill switch wiring, CDI and stator. Don’t know where to look first, any help?

I have a very weak spark from the spark plug wire to the motor with the spark plug cap removed. When i put the cap and plug back on no spark. Any ideas?

Try replacing the ignition coil. The cheap eBay ones are fine.

Great vid! One question. Mine is starting then all of a sudden it won’t turn off with the key. Do you think that would be a grounding issue? Thanks

where is the location of the fuse box or breaker box on a 2005 Sportsman 400 4x4. I can't find it. Appreciate it.

@jeshualee2711 10 ай бұрын

Usually in the front directly in front of the handle bars. Other times there could be a fuse on the left under the rear fender.

My 1995 425 Magnum 4x2 quit running, after cleaning the carb I realized spark is very weak, only sparks on initial crank then quits, I cleaned and changed out the Ignition Coil fasteners like you said and still have the same issue, is it time to replace the coil? The Stator pick up looks new, the previous owner must have changed it out.

@jeshualee2711 7 ай бұрын

Yeah the coil is the next easiest thing to replace and is relatively inexpensive so yes try replacing it first.
