oh shoot. I didnt take any because I knew what I was doing this time. apologies to the forum! Will take pics of the warrior as I get to it.

I'm on my second stator in 3 years so might want to add that to the list

It has a manual shift transmission but not a manual clutch. When you put the bike in gear the bike will sit and not move. When you hit the throttle the bike starts to move ? That’s the centrifugal clutch expanding and grabbing. So you can’t push start it.

Like Frank said, it will be much easier to turn the engine over from the starter pad with the spark plug removed. I don't belive push starting works on engines with centrifugal clutches.

I would take the pull starter cover off and try to spin the engine just to see if it’s all good. Might as well repair the pull cord while you’re there. I don’t think towing it would be a good to see if the engine spins. Stick with bench testing and replacing the starter maybe and go from there. But having the pull cord work is a really good back up in case the battery dies. So if the bikes worth it then spend the money.

Your getting the sparks most likely due to only a couple of things. 1. Bad starter or brushes inside the starter. 2. The engine is locked up. 3. The starter gear is jammed up or broken. I would pull the starter and bench test it with a battery.

Not satisfied with the commercially available versions, Jonathan recently built an ATV spring compressor. In this video, he demonstrates using it to remove & re-install the spring on an ATV coil-over shock absorber. Mistake in video - the coil-over shock is not quite a McPherson strut. If you are inspired to build your own spring compressor, feel welcome to use any ideas from this video. Thanks for watching! Resurgence Small Engine Inc.
