Intermittent running.  Sometimes she will start and run, sometimes she refuses to fire other than an occasional backfire through the carb.  Lately it won't start at all.  I've rebuilt the carb as it had some leaks.  Electrically I pulled the plug to check for spark... grounded it to the exhaust pipe and cranked her over.  Sometimes a weak yellow spark, sometimes a strong blue spark, sometimes none at all.  Seems to come and go.  Weird to me.  You guys have any ideas on where to start, or have seen this before?  Starting fluid doesn't help, won't fire at all when it has decided it won't run.

      I am unable to find a wiring diagram for this UTV.  When I turn the switch to on, the contractor does not engage.  The Brake pressure switch and the parking brake switches work correctly. What else should I be looking for?  All of the diagrams I have found are for newer models and the wire color coding is different.
       
      Thanks

      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks

      was thinking most of us on this forum would have another ride, so to get the ball rolling...........
      MY MAX 4 6X6 2009, now this will actually go anywhere including across the water. In the 3rd photo I had gone up the river about 30 meters then climbed up the bank, 6X6 owners call it "swimming"
