2006 Artic Cat 700 efi wont turn start

[tapandsons]

I have a 2006 700 EFI. 4x4. I have a charger on the battery and the display lights come on but the digital does not work and the motor just cranks and doeant turn over.

Welcome!

Does it crank fast or very slow? Try using an 12V engine boost. It's EFI, so do you hear the pump? More than likely it's a bad battery.

No display would make me tend to think a blown fuse. My quad is carb'ed but a blown ACC fuse will make my pod blank but the backlights work.

If your pod lights up and you crank but does not start there is a good possibility it is the gauge pod if it is a polaris. had the same problem on my dads quad crank but no start. would not show hrs or mileage. the gauge pods are expensive so i would exhaust all other avenues first. if it cranks over easy it is probably not the crank circuit. the pod controls spark. If you have spark then it will be a fuel issue. if you do not have spark I would probably look @ the gauge pod.

forgot some info.

Arctic Cats have a CDI box usually located under the seat that could cause this. I could start my quad with the pod removed. (removed it once to dry it out) Also if the ACC fuse is blown the pod will be blank, but the quad will still fire up. (had that happen too)
