I just got my hands on a 2001 traxter 500 for $500, we went through the machine and had to put the fuses in. The motor rolls with electric start but there is zero ignition. There is lots of spark but I am not sure if the sparkplugs are correct, what are the correct sparkplugs for these machines? We put fuel into the cylinder and we are getting full into the carb, but the fuel in the cylinder wont fire. Is there any thing I am missing?

 

Get new spark plug, I prefer Denso for better quality:

I will check them out, we got the bike running but it could use some new plugs. Thanks bengear90!

 

Make sure the plugs you get are the right length. 2 long and they will hit the pistons, to short and it will run like crap if it runs at all..

 

I stopped into the Can Am dealer and picked some up, it ran with the old ones fine but i thought it could use some fresh ones, the bike runs now just need to figure out some electical issues

 

I have same thing going on . Can you tell me what you done. Thanks eddie. Edtkwhite@yahoo.com
