Agreed, It probably got wet and that is why its not working. CDI's or any other electrical part does not need a flow of power to keep it good, pure bunk. I don't know about other model ATV's but Arctic Cat usually encases the CDI in epoxy so its impossible to repair them, too bad, because most of the parts inside would be cheap to replace such as diodes and capacitors. Once a CDI box gets to about 20 years old, it is common for the capacitors inside to fail, then you have no spark. Electrolytic capacitors typically only have a life of about 20 years before the plates break down inside (kinda like a battery) Mike

First pick is of the wire that went to neutral switch, there was only one wire going to it. The other pics are of the relays in the battery box.

Ok so parts are finally in my possession, stator is installed. Flywheel is here but of course my puller broke!!!!! Wtf???? New one is on the way. I like this new flywheel, looks and feels well built.

Well thats a first for me. Maybe if it were a moist area where they were stored?? Constant electrical flow should have nothing to with the life span of a cdi. As long as its not soaked or hooked up backwards (battery) it should be fine. In some of my previous posts on other topics, i mention how i put a cdi in the oven for 10 min on 250 deg. Pulled it out, cooled it off and put it back on the atv and it worked for a few days until it got moist inside again. Baked it one more time and this time added silicone to the outside of the cdi and it was fine for a long time. The failure inside cdi boxes are usually caused by failed diodes. Weather it be from reverse voltage, welding on an atv without disconnecting the wiring etc. These things wreak havoc and stops the cdi from sending voltage to the ignition coil any longer. Now if its just a moisture issue then it can be warmed, dried and resealed as mentioned above. Just don't over cook it.

I don't think you would have to change the studs. As long as the bolt pattern is correct and they are long enough then why change them ?

Good stuff brother. Keep em coming.

Im a complete idiot!!! I apologize, but for some reason i thought we were talking about a bayou. I was working on a bayou and somehow responded to the wrong topic. Yours is a bear tracker!! I had one, it was my first atv that i picked ip a few years back before getting back into all this. Here is a diagram showing your neutral safety switch. if the green wire that connects to the switch is broken off and is coming from the harness side try to ground to the frame and see if you get dash lights and if the starter works. Make sure the atv is in neutral!!

Aftermarket CDI's i have never had any luck with. NOT ONE! They do weird things to the atv. Lights, come on, blown fuses etc. I put an oem used or new (expensive) in place and all good. It seems to be the most expensive parts that cost the most but work the best. 🤷🏻‍♂️

There should be a light Green and Red wire coming from the left side of the engine right above the shifter. That green wire goes to the round aluminum relay under the seat by the battery. Relay should be round, aluminum and have 4 wires coming from it. Two black one green and one brown. The brown is 12v positive. The green is a negative that is made when the bike is in neutral. That negative is made be the shifter inside the engine cover touching an electrical contact within the engine when shifted. When this happens the brown 12v+ going to the relay and the green negative send power to the relay and the relay closes making the two black wires on the relay connect. This allows the start button to work because the atv knows its in neutral. The red wire goes from the neutral safety switch to the light on the dashboard to indicate its in reverse.

Do the headlights come on? If so, then the likely culprit is the neutral safety switch. Theres a green wire and a black or white wire right by your left heel sitting down. See if there is continuity on that switch when in neutral. If theres not, then there's the issue. You may be able to pull the left brake lever fully and bypass the neutral safety switch also. My 93 kodiak would do that.
