98 sportsman 500 starting issues

I will check all this tomorrow. I am not getting any spark I pulled the plug and put it in the boot and cranked the wheeler and no spark I put the plug in different spots to ground it. I started pulling the coil off to test it when the war department sounded it was time for dinner. Thank you for the info I will update tomorrow.

First off you didn't have to remove the coil for testing. Check your meter ends together. Most don't completely zero out. This may be why you're showing 0.4 which in itself is still with in the +/- range allowed. Pull the plug cap off and check the resistance on the cap itself.

Green to black red 419
Green to red 1.4
White to white/red 124
White and white/red to ground I have 448 m ohms. My volt meter that has the sound for continuity is broken so i don't know how to test for continuity without it. When I tested green,red, and red/black to ground i got nothing on the volt meter. The browm/yellow and yellow I couldn't find. The others I found up front by the circuit board in 2 different connectors. Back a while ago my recoil came apart and it took out the pick up coil so I bought a stator and changed just the pick up coil so I have a brand new stator if I need to install that. Also I just remembered about 3 weeks ago the recoil handle was off the housing and we had a ton of rain. The wheeler started up so I didn't give it a second thought til now...

Pick up coil white and white/red should not short to ground. Pick up coil is a tad out of range 97 ohms versus 124. Get a better digital meter if you don't trust it and look over the check list again before you sling parts at it.. Could be the pick up coil shorting or another stator since it was in water,but the main stator coils show to be within range +/- 20% allowed (Green,black/red and red)

I used another tester and I do not have continuity for white and white red, or the red wire. I don't know where yellow/Brown wire is... I tested again and I have
Green to black red-416
Green to red-2.1
White to white/red-123
The coil is still off the wheeler and I have continuity between the tab and the posts where the coil bolts onto the wheeler.
I put a brand new plug in the boot and tested from the tab to the electrode on the spark plug and I have 16.31 k ohms. Idk if that's how I am suppose to do the test. The boot doesn't seem to come off the wire or slide up the wire. I don't know what else to check i am lost.

97 ohms is the average output from the pick up coil. You can be over or under (+/- 20%) so at 124 ohms you're a tad over allowable range. Remember ohms test is not always absolute,but close.. The yellow/brown(Yellow with a brown stripe!!) to yellow is just a test on the wires that go to the regulator from the stator. 0.17 ohms is the average reading between these two wires plus NO yellow should short to ground. Green to black/red is fine.. Green to Red is iffy. Coil reading is around 6300 ohms or 6.3k ohms with plug cap on! The plug cap should just twist off the wire.Should show around 5k ohms on the cap alone. The coil bare wire to the coil tab then should read around 1300 ohms (1.3k ohms) Hope this doesn't confuse you more.. If anything the pick up coil,if you have another stator hanging around, I'd try that first or just try the other stator and see what happens.. Plus I might be asking the same question twice,but have you pulled the black wire from the cdi and the reverse limiter? They can cause problems on spark.

Well my recoil is broken so i will order new parts for the and a new pick up coil and when I do that I will put the new stator, pickup coil, gasket, and fix the coil... idk what to do lol I will update afterwards. One more question though, the plastic recoil keeps on breaking where the metal dog goes... seems like there is so much compression it breaks it... is it just a bad design?
