2006 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 - No Spark At Times and Runs Bad
mikeexplorer replied to Heywire77's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
Hopefully your harness won't look like mine did ! Yes, Cats are known for wiring problems. This was the third wiring problem with this machine. Mike -
Look under your left front wheel well and the VIN should be on the main part of the frame. Mike

2006 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 - No Spark At Times and Runs Bad
mikeexplorer replied to Heywire77's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
For that issue I would check the front harness where it crosses over the support. I had to do a major repair of 12 fried wires in that section and that was one of my issues is it would do nothing unless I had the key in headlight position. Mike -

Arctic Cat 250 1999 model - Boot issue
mikeexplorer replied to zancat's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
I know with newer models to replace an outboard boot (closest to the tire) you do indeed have to remove the inboard boot (diff side) Fortunately I have only torn up inboard boots so far but now I am sure I jinked myself Mike -

mikeexplorer replied to kurbis's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
The cost to ship a few diodes would be far more then the cost of the diodes. -
2005 Artcic Cat 500 - Electrical/Winch Problem
mikeexplorer replied to flea13's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
More likely the battery itself is weak and could not handle the large draw the winch put on it. Same thing happened to me plowing snow, pod flashed "volt" when winching the plow up and this was with a charged battery. The stock batteries suck, I replaced mine with a better aftermarket one and never had problems with it since. Mike -
2007 Arctic Cat 700 efi - Fan Diode Location
mikeexplorer replied to kurbis's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
Radio Shack does not sell a 10 amp diode but they do sell 5 amp ones and what you can do is they come in a 4 pack or something like that. Solder two in parallel and that will double the current it can handle. Make sure you have the polarity correct when replacing it. Swampcat is right, the diode is inside the wire harness near where the fan connection mates into the harness. Mike -
2007 Arctic Cat - Fuel Pump Problem?
mikeexplorer replied to Bluetrapper's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
Never had an issue with my '07 fuel pump, I would also check the fuel lines and vacuum line for cracks and leaks. Mike -
Find the lead from the relay to the starter motor and put a meter to it and ground. Press the start button and you should read 12 volts from it. If that is a no-go, then pull off the smaller connection (that comes from the button and test it for voltage when you press the button. I just recently replaced mine because it was failing. Attached is a picture (from an Arctic Cat) but any quad should be similar. Mike

arctic cat 06 tbx 400 4x4 starting issue
mikeexplorer replied to flattracker450's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
Look above in this form for my post on extracting and printing schematics. There is a link for where you can get the service manual and wiring diagram for free. From your description of the problem I would suspect one of the diodes in your fuse block is either blown out or shorted out. (maybe one is in backwards?) Mike -
2005 Arctic Cat 500cc - Will Not Start
mikeexplorer replied to Cowboyffa84's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
I broke the boot on the 366 model and the option was to either replace the boot or replace the whole thing (coil, wire, and boot) for like $4 more. Seems like in his case from the diagram he can just replace the wire and the boot, the coil for his machine is a lot more money then it was for the 366 model. -
