Just follow the spark plug wire it's connected to the ignition coil , another thing what kerbbirds was asking if when you remove the spark plug and put the plug wire boot back onto the plug and touch/ground the spark plug to the cylinder jug and turn the engine over do you get spark then !

If it doesn't fire doing this it could be the coil or just a broke/burned spark plug wire causing the no firing problem , i had this problem on a friends 93 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO , i removed the coil and took it to my local AC Dealership the owner checked the coil and it tested good but when she took the probes and tested the plug wire boot to the coil she found a break in the plug wire its self to be the problem ; she then removed to old plug wire from the coil and put a new one and the problem was solved !

I hope you have the same luck because the new spark plug wire was only $3.00 + tax , these wires can go bad the same as the plug wires on a car , good luck and i hope it's as easy of a fix as my friends was !
