Was riding a couple weeks ago at Hatfield McCoy trails. Group of us palayed in mud pit and proceeded to another trail. We rode on hard surface road for 5-7 miles. After making a turn on another road, I noticed my temp light flashing. I road another 1/4 mile to find a safe spot to pull over, machine was sputtering, and I shut it off. I checked in front of radiator and wha-la, mud caked in front. A shop across the street offered their power washer to clean the mud off, but my 600 wouldn't start, so we pushed it over. I cleaned the mud off, went to start it, it fired once and then no start, checked spark with extra (new) spark plug and no spark.

So far I tried: 1- different coil/cdi - nothing
2- new plugs - nothing
3- disconnecting black wire to cdi - nothing
4- new stator - nothing

I am out of options and getting really frustrated, any suggestions. It's a 2003 Sportsman 600 with 108 hours and 630 miles. This is the first ever problem eith this machine.

 

Just bring this thread back up to the top.
Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Compression test for a posible melt down. Is there a hi temp shut down on it? Or a reset?
