May or may not be the problem but sounds like what happens to Polaris 500s when the pulse coil is out of range of the flywheel or weak.They will pull start,but wont electric start. The Polaris pulse coil is external of the flywheel. Looks like your pulse coil or pulse generator as it's called is internal or it's just the way I'm looking at it... Item#3 on the parts break down.
