I am at a total loss and really would like some help.
Heres what happened.
I purchased this quad in good running condition.
I brought it home. Pulled the plastics all off and got to cleaning the many many years of mud and gunk off.
I did use a pressure washer to get the bigger gunk.
When I put it all back together, all I got was backfiring. That happened 3 or 4 times and now I get nothing. No spark no nothing.
I replaced the coil and still nothing.
I am not very good with these electrically. What do I do? What can I test?
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
CDI?
Rectifier?
Stator?
Anything else??
I am at a loss and ripping my hair out because of it.

Thanks all
