What’s your budget? Reason I’m asking I’ve taken a look on eBay and there’s quiet a few ranging from $25 to about $50 bucks.

Engine off and tester on ohms, phase to phase you should get a reading. Somewhere in the 100’s maybe, It’s in the manual. Test each wire to wire and see what you get. Do this with the pick up coil also. I like to test both ways. One when the bike is ice cold. Second is when the engine is hot. Most of the time stators go bad and you don’t have the option of testing while hot because you have no spark. The acceptable range will be listed in the manual.

Well it’s a last ditch effort. You should test the stator on ohms setting phase to phase and see if the numbers are within range.

Have you checked the rectifier and voltage coming to the battery ? I’m curious to see what you have as far as voltage. Rev the engine a bit and see what’s happening.

That’s awesome. Great job. Dont loose track of that temp plug you made. It could come out and cause a big oil leak and even worse do damage to the engine. Ride safe.

Hello @Christi Enslin welcome to Quadcrazy. Go to the forums tab and start a new topic on the item and list the make, year and model. This will allow us to keep track of the topic and help you out better. If it gets thrown into an existing topic you wound up getting lost in the mix. As far as your bike goes you will find all the help you need here from the members at Quadcrazy

A regular 15 amp fuse will be fine. I’m sure that data base on the engine id will come in handy Im glad the starter worked out for you it was just a lucky find. Good luck.

If you put a cork on the other side you can name the bike Frankenstein!

Atta boy, improvise. Maybe a good idea to keep a cork and tape in my back back!

Did you locate the idle screw ? And double check the cable adjusters at the top and bottom of the throttle cable. They could be maxed out. A cork and tape ???? Cmon you have to share a pic!

Post a pic of it.

whats it look like? Also what was the problem that you found success with.

Ok so go through some of the things listed and see what you have as far as results.

I was going to mention that about the battery. Jumping an atv with a car battery or a car is never good. You can do damage to the stator coil or the rectifier/regulator. So putting the right battery in is a good idea.

The reds are going to the positive + side of the battery. Black to the negative - side of the battery then try to crank it and see what it does. The other two wires are for the starter relay which looks like it’s missing and may be spliced together.

Here’s a diagram that Should be for your bike. It looks like the two reds go to the battery but the green and blues are relay wires. Maybe post a few pics to clear things up. Its for a 2001 but it should be the same or very close.

Welcome to Quadcrazy! Sounds like you have had yiur fair share of bikes! Its tough to ride on the streets today with all the texting and phones. I gave it up as soon as I had kids. Again welcome to Quadcrazy !

I would NOT remove the carb and try sending fuel into the engine. I know you tested spark but I would pull the plug out and rest it against the head. Turn the fuel off and crank the engine watching the spark for about 5 seconds and see if it’s consistent. Make sure there is no difference in the rhythm of the spark while cranking. For instance, you see spark for a few cranks and it goes away and comes back is what I mean. It should be steady. Then I would go back to the timing and triple check that’s its good. Find the T mark. Like @06kfx440 said go through the carburetor and make sure the float is good and all settings including the fuel air screw are set properly. The main jet needle setting “the E clip” what’s it set at ? Fuel pump, (if fuel injected) make sure its good and not pushing too much fuel into the engine. Make sure the boot that connects the carb to the engine is good and no cracks. Make sure your fuel is not bad. Is the choke working correctly and the air intake clear of any nests or obstructions? Been nests rodents etc. check your voltage at the battery when cranking. Could be a bad regulator. Go through these things and get back. Take your time and make sure your good.

Hey Brian welcome to Quadcrazy. You really shouldn’t put your email on the forum. It’s sounds like your having some wiring issues. Do the wires your referring to have any stripes on them or are they definitely solid colors? Does it look like anything else is missing like a relay or any plugs?

It’s going to have to come apart obviously and you really need to look at the repair manual. But you can pull that nut off of that shaft and the starter clutch will come off. Once you get it off see how the middle part of the starter clutch spins. It should only spin one way if is free spins both ways it’s no good and most likely the problem. You can find one on eBay I’m sure for about $30 bucks. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142528436451 I definitely would recommend finding a repair manual.

There’s a backslash ? Most vin numbers are 17 -18 digits long I’ve never seen a backslash in one.

Try these solder seal connectors. I use them all the time and like them. All you need is a heat source. Heat gun, small propane torch or a hair dryer on hot setting and up close. 120PCS Solder Seal Wire Connectors - Ndgenous Solder Seal - Electrical Wire Soldering - Waterproof Insulated Butt Splice Connectors for Electrical, Automotive, Marine, Boat, Truck & Trailer Wiring https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6ZWHH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TnAcDb0YAYQMS

You are 100% correct. That red wire comes from the regulator and splits to the ignition and the battery. And yes it’s a 15 amp fuse located at the battery.

That’s good news it’s just a replacement part and not a wiring problem. Nice work, ride safe!

If it’s kicking back like that I would say the timing is off and either the chain has snapped or is stretched resulting in a bad timing situation. I hope there is no major damage brother. Good luck.
