I have a polaris sportsman 500 year 2000. While I was running it the manual starter recoil spring broke with a loud bang. After this happened, I cannot get it started. I replace the whole part with the new spring enclosed and the only noticeable damage seemed to be the pulse coil bracket was bent away from the fly wheel. I bent it back and reguaged it. But it still will not start and I have no spark. Could the pulse coil have been damaged? If so, is there a way to check if the pulser is damaged? Has anyone had this happen?
Thanks in advance for any help.
