i have a 2001 quadmaster 500...it will only fire if you pull crank it...but will not with electric start...if u start it with pull crank it will run for like 5 seconds and then quits firing....has a new cdi,new battery,any help would be appreciated.....how do u check the stator?

Quits firing; you checked the spark? Have you checked to make sure you are getting spark when using electric start?

yes..it has no spark when using electric start....but ever now and then it does....i went out and tried it 2 days ago....had spark...put plug in fired it up....didnt want to take throttle but it idled about 10 minutes..then just died...quit firing...it was doing this when i bought...guy said same thing...i brought it home..put everything together....it didnt fire...then all of a sudden it ran....that was 2 yrs ago...i put around 200 miles on it since then...now back to same thing like a wiring problem ya know

Hey Dieseldog, what did you find out on this? My 500 is doing the same thing, I started it yesterday, idled 5 minutes or so while I was doing some other stuff and then just quit. Wont fire, plenty of gas to carb but no spark.
