I have fought with my rig, a 2000 Magnum 500, for a few days now trying to get it to run. The infamous no spark problem. After some trial and error and a few purchases on ebay I have gotten it running. Now it wont stop. I turn the key off and even remove it and it keeps on running. I know polaris is a tough atv but this is a little unnecessary, anyone know why this is? I'm sure its electrical, obviously, but where? To date I have replaced, the ignition coil, plug and cap and the pulser coil.

 

did unhook a grounding wire when you did the coil or the ign. coil and forget to rehook it? sounds like its not grounded some where.

 

cant find anything could it be the ignition switch?

 

did you try the kill switch? if that doesnt shut it off then the switch i think would be fine. if it stopped working after you did a repair then somethings wrong w/ the parts of wiring on the repair i would guess.

 

thanks I'll keep looking

 

The problem has self-corrected. I guess its a short somewhere. If it happens again I'll drive it till it runs out of gas!
