I was out riding with the family when my wifes 2000 grizzly 600 died, it would restart but as soon as you hit that throttle is died. finally after several attempts it just would not start at all, I towed it back to the camp site and did a preliminary assesment. The spark plug wire was realy hot. and There wasnt any spark at all. I swapped out my sons coil just to see whether or not the coil may have failed. but nothing changed. How would I determine if I lost a CDI or a Stator.
any help you can give would be great
Thanks

 

I would check for spark first if your worried about thte cdi. Take a old plug if you have a spare and crankk the engine over. You should see an intense blue spark jump the gap.

 

I did that and there wasnt any spark, I swapped coils from my sons machine and still no spark, How would I go about testing the stator or the CDI to verify fault in those areas
