04 sportsman 400 intermittent spark
ok well a week or so ago i put my dads polaris into the storage buliding on our property, before putting it in i turned off the gas and let it idle out. well a week later i pull it out turn gas on and let it warm up. then i go to take off and it started to move and died, like it was out of gas, well i found that it would lose spark above idle and below 4000RPM, if you kept it above 4000 it was good. then it would die. i you revved a couple times in neutral then it would evertualy die, if you turned it off then back on it would fire and stay running for a little whil till it shut off agian? i have cleaned the plug and truly verified that is loses spark. what do you guys think? thankyou

alright took the cover off... the pinion on the started drive is a slight bit worn and there are tiny metal particles floating around in there. so the flywheel has to come off, is it a left handed thread and is there anything behind it that i have to worry about. and when i get it back together what should the gap be? thankyou

well i pulled the flywheel and checked the clearences. it was .026" between the pick up and the trigger on the flywheel. well i stumbled upon something else. while looking at the stator and flywheel i can see where the stator seems to be contacting the flywheel. it looks polished. are they suppose to be touching or not?

anyone have an idea? i havent messed with this thing in a while but i keep running into it in the shop so it needs to run!! i can get it to idle but once i put a load on the charging system(turn lights on) it shuts off, or if i touch the throttle it will shut off, i have removed the fly wheel and cleaned everything, i was wondering if i could run it with the stator unplugged, the pick-up still plugged in and the battery on a charger? my dad wants to take it to a stealership and i wont allow it!!! I dont have much time till his parental abilities take over!!
