Default 2000 polaris sportsman 335 no spark

Polaris 335 sportsman just stop running all suddenly when riding: I tested the cdi box and found to be broken; so I replaced it and having problems with the installation with the proper wires going to the proper place: Where does the black wire go to and I have a solid blue wire on my new cdi box: does that go to the ignition coil? My ignition coil only has one electrical connection that is located on the bottom of the coil!

Black wire is for the kill circuit. Should be a black wire up in the harness it connects to unless this machine is new to you and po did any wire butchering. Blue wire from the cdi goes to the coil.

Yes brown ground wire goes on lower coil mounting screw. Should be other grounds there also.

Depending on model you may have several grounds from modules,grounds from dash lights or you may have just the one ground from the cdi..
