Back again with another headache, maybe you guys can help me out. 

Picked up a 87 Bayou 300 not running of course, all stator wires melted 

on the motor and also no spark. I checked the pick up coil ohmed out good. 

traced the wires and led to no cdi box, yes missing. So ordered it and while waited 

fixed the stator wires, had to wire direct to harness. Get the cdi installed and after a lot

of other things started it up. battery dead so used a batt charger to start it. Now when i shut

off the charger the motor died. So i check charging voltage...nada. I see voltage regulator is 

old and catalist leaking so i replaced it. Same thing no charge. I check stator and no voltage 

with it unpluged from harness while running. Soooooo i replace stator. Now Stator wires have

23v and up to over 50v at higher rpms. So i know its charging now. Connect everything back up and 

no charge voltage at battery! Still dies when i shut off charger. All 3 yellow stator wires have good voltage, checked

harness from stator to regulator and is good. The white wire has battery voltage at regulator, the brown wire has battery 

voltage at regulator when key on. The Black/yellow stripe has good ground. I get 3 volts at battery when i shut off charger. 

If i connect old regulator i get 7 volts when i shut off charger. Do i have a defective new regulator? Im stumped. when i 

figure this one out i have a big wiring problem on another one ill let you in on.  Az

Double  check  wiring.. In many DC  circuits  with multiple  wires at a connector white  is  ground.  The  black/ yellow  and  white might  be  swapped..   Only a guess since  I  don't have access to  a wiring diagram  for your  quad.

      1988 big bear 350 no spark
      By 88bigbear
      Bought a 88 big bear 350 4x4 took it for a run and lost spark, found it was stator so I replaced that then took it for a long run and it sat for 2 days and no spark again, this time stator tests good on ohms and voltage for source and pick up coils so I started replacing things including regulator, ignition, ignition coil and plug cap, spark plug and everything tests great including all safety switches until the orange wire for ignition coil from the cdi it only reads 3 volts so I replaced the cdi and still 3 volts, any ideas??

      Fixing for a friend. Atv was at a different friends house to be fixed and he rebuilt the carb and had it running nice, then it shut off and no more. He replaced the key and the coil.
       
      So he got busy, so I am helping, I checked the wiring from the stator to the cdi, and from the cdi to the coil. All is good. I checked resistance on the pickup coil, good, and on the source coil, open. I buy a new stator (China) and the 4 prong plug only has 3 wires in it while mine has all 4. I checked resistance in the source coil and it's in the 300's. I pulled one of the old pickup wires out of the old stator and wire it in the new one. Still no spark.
       
      Why do the wires differ, I checked the VIN again and it's "J" for the year and I got a 1988 stator. Please help!

      By LashinWheeler
      Hello all, I have a 2006 Polaris Sawtooth with no spark. It has a dead battery but with a jump pack on it, it will still not Spark. Plug is good, Throttle ETC is not closed, Stator pick up coil seems to Ohm out in the correct range, Unsure how to properly check the CDI. And when ignition is on the Neutral and reverse light come on but after cranking just the neutral stays on. 
       
      Any help would be great,
       
      Thanks!
