Please bear with me as this will be a long post. Here goes... This summer I started working on a 2006 Arctic Cat 400 TRV (green). I replaced the carburetor because the electric choke wasn't working. After doing this and checking the fuel pump and gas, I was able to get the atv running. It would idle great and sounded great, BUT when I tried to give it gas, it would bog down and die. I thought the carb may need adjusting, but when fooling with it and trying to solve the throttle issue, the starter got hot and busted a magnet. So then I replaced the starter with a brand new one. Then it would act like it was going to start but wouldn't. When I started inspecting further and looked that the stator and flywheel, the flywheel had a loose magnet. So then I replaced the stator and flywheel with a brand new one. I also replaced the solenoid, and the ignition solenoid. I replaced it because i was getting fire down to the starter solenoid, but not to the spark plug. I was getting fire to the plug but lost it. So, from the time the starter got hot and busted a magnet, I have not been able to get the atv to run. Sometime between replacing the flywheel and stator and starter, I have lost power to the start button. I have looked at all of the wires and made sure there wasn't a naked wire or something causing a short. When testing wires with a tester, I believe I was getting fire to pretty much everything. I can't remember if I was getting fire to the start button. but I'm assuming I'm not. Don't hold me to that though. When testing the stator, I'm not getting fire. I know you can get bad parts even if they're supposed to be new. What are yall's thoughts on what can be the problem? I have literally worked on this bike for going on 4 months in between waiting on parts to arrive. I don't know what else to check. I have another stator that I know is good that I'm going to try (maybe tomorrow). With all of the problems I've had, I swear this atv is cursed or something. LOL! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
