have you checked your battery,low battery voltage will cause it not to fire.

ok hondaquadrider you now need to be a little more specific if you want the right answer.when you say you get no fire,does that mean no spark at the spark plug or the motor won't turn over.did you check the fuses in your battery box?

one more item that easily over looked is your sparkplug cap,make sure it's tight.

What I find hard to believe is that you just put 700.00 worth of parts into a machine based on guessing what was wrong. Did you not diagnose the problem before ordering all of those parts? I have never heard of anyone going to those extremes without knowing what was wrong. It only takes an hour of labor at your dealer to find the problem. Then order the parts. I'm sure your dealer wasn't going to charge you 700.00 to find the problem.

OK......
When you turn your ignition key on, is the neutral light coming on when it's in neutral?? If so, does it go out when you put it in gear?? A bad neutral safety switch can cause it not to fire.

The only other common problems that can cause it not to fire [that you haven't already replaced] is a bad ignition switch, a bad kill switch, or a short[or break] in your wiring.

Because you have already dumped a fortune in parts already, I would suggest you carry it to your dealer and have them check it out for you before you spend another 700.00 on parts you don't need, and can't return being electrical parts.
