Hey guys, I have a 600 sp Had been running great. The last time I parked it, it sat for 1 day the next day I went to get on it and it had a hell of a time starting, but it did and would keep dieing. I finally got it to stay running long enough to get to my deer stand. When it was time to come back I couldn't get it started. It acted like it was trying to fire and I would get a loud back fire after 4 or 5 times of trying to start. Now it just turns over, not even trying to start or back fires..Any help would be great..

Thanks,

Justin

 

Does it make a difference if you choke it or try to give it a little throttle when you start it?

 

No, Same either way. Just cranks over

 

well I guess you need to start with basics and determine if it is getting gas and spark. There are a lot of things that will make it run poorly but if it will not start I would work on those 2 items first.

 

It's getting gas, I am assuming it doesn't have spark

 

I got this info from a different website with someone that has the same problem:

Have a 2003 polairs 700 wont start is there a fuse box? Is not getting fire at the spark plug any ideas?



Lot of ideas, dose the Speedometer lightup. No fuses on the main system, it's Breakers and should reset. If the Speedometer lights up they are OK.
Check this .............
I have the same problem with a 2003 Sportsman 600. Have been working on it off and on for a week now. Yours and mine are wired almost the same. Yes it could be the CDI. First and easiest test ... Check the ETC switch, it's in the box above the throttle on the right handlebar, top just pops off. Those points should be open (not touching each other) If they are, adjust the throttle cable till they stay open. Next test is to unplug the BLACK WIRE on the three wire plug (with black, yellow, and brown wires) that is connected to the CDI. Don't unplug it from the CDI, follow it up toward the handlebars about 6 inches. There is a single wire connector there, unplug that. It goes on to the red kill switch on the left handlebar. Unplug it and crank and check for spark. That will eliminate a possible kill switch malfunction. That wire also goes through the Speedometer so it will eliminate a problem with the reverse speed limiter. If you have spark then ? Test the Ignition Switch, Engine Stop/Kill Switch, and Speed Limiter for shorts to ground. Also there is a plug at the Stator/Alternator, right side of engine, make sure it's connected tight. Next would be to test the signal coming up from the Exciter Coil and the Pulse Coil to the CDI. This gets tricky, you will need a Peak Reading Volt Meter. Exciter Plug (Brown and Yellow wires should read 34 DCV). Pulse Trigger Plug(Black and Red wires) should read 3.3 DCV. This Info is on page 10.15 in the Service Manual. There are also other tests in the Manual, but I have given you the best ones I think. If you could get your hands on a Service Manual it would be a big help to you. . So make sure you need it before you buy it. Usually Dealers won't take back electrical parts. Shame, because it would be easy to just get one and try it.

 

Big twinn,
Would you mind sharing what site you gotthis from. I been having problems with my 700 and cant sem to get anyone on here to respond. Thank you much

 

SUDSY- I don't remember for sure it may have been polarisatvforums.com. Just do a google search for "Polaris 700 atv will not start" and you will find all kind of places to look.
