Default 1998 sportsman 500 spark issue=found problem?

I dont have spark until i let up off start button then sparks once.
I think i found pick up coil bad connection inside it on one wire.
Also put meter on green and black/red wire for stator and got nothing at all. so it seems both stator and pickup are bad. sound right?
anyone give advice for a place to shop for them?

no problem man.

from the main forum screen click on the area you want to post in. after youre in click on forum tools on the 2nd grey bar. then click post new thread.

try making one in the intro forum.
then post your issue in the polaris forum.
