Just picked up a 2008 Big Bear 250. It was sitting for about 1 year it's definitely a project. Currently chasing down a no spark issue. Imagine that lol 

Tons of info around the forum. I look forward to learning!

 Looks good, Should be a fun project , it seems to be all there, hopefully its not the CDI, that could be expensive, what have you done and found so far.

 yeah, it's all there. I've been going thru the electrical diagrams and troubleshooting process. I made it to testing the stator and found I'm missing 2 wires on the 4 wire plug. Looks like something chewed em. So, I bought a new stator; should be here this week. Once that's on I'll continue down the list. I did find some more broken wires that go to the foot brake switch, I'll splice those back together also. 

 

Maybe I'll start a build thread to keep up with everything 😂😂

Sounds good, hopefully one of the broken wires will be to the pickup coil, then, fixing that will get you sparking again. A build thread would be good, i did that with my Big Bear, it kind of keeps things interesting, and for me it kept me motivated, mine was in a lot worse shape than yours, i had to figure out all the wiring, it was all ripped out.

Welcome!  This is gonna sound dumb, but when I was chasing a no-spark issue in my Big Bear... it ended up being the battery.  The battery would take a charge and appear good on the meter, but still didnt have enough bang to get the job done.  Swapped in a new battery and bingo, problem solved.

      Hi all. I have a timberwolf 250 2nd that will not start.. I thought it was out of time bc the guy I got it from said it just quit on him. The tensioner had a nut welded to it and it was like2 teeth off. I installed new tensioner and chain and it still will not start. It has fire and it will not hit off brake cleaner. It has compression. Haven't put a gauge but I'm sure it will crank and run with what it has. I double checked my work and it's still in time. Spot on. Both valves move. I'm about to put a feeler gauge on them and I'll cone back but other than that any ideas?

      My 1992 TRX00 recently stopped firing.  I understand this is a common problem. I have ordered an aftermarket CDI unit.    TJ

      Hello all!
      I was given a 2000 Suzuki Quadrunner 500 (Quad 500 Runner?) and its current state is a bit of a mystery!  
      Kept indoors but hasn't been run in 5 years.  We're not trying the engine until the gas is replaced, and the tires are reinflated. But the previous owner said their only issue was stalling when shifting to reverse without giving some throttle.
      I'm optimistic!  See y'all around!

      on my honda trx 500 we have no power to the ignition switch for starting or ignition
      we have lights and horn working
      all fuses are fine
      have traced through the harness and cant find any broken wires or bad connections
      from what we have gathered so far the pgm fi unit is not sending any power to the fuel pump relay to power everything up.
      if we put power direct to the ignition switch plug then everything works but wth the key in the off position.
      does this sound like a faulty pgm fi unit?
