2001 Polaris Xplorer 400 No Spark
My first post, I've been reading other posts and they have been helpful, but I still haven't found an answer.
I have a 2001 Xplorer 400 2 stroke that refuses to throw a spark. Here is what I have done:
Replaced plug with fresh NGK BR8ES gapped at .032"
Replaced CDI unit with aftermarket
Replaced coil, wire and cap
Pulled black wire from kill switch
These are the readings I have taken following the troubleshooting guide from Polaris Service Manual:
1) Coil ground to engine ground-0 ohms
2) Exciter or Charge coil resistance-R to BLK/R 228 ohms(228 Required)
3) Trigger coil resistance-W to W/R 99.5 ohms(97 required)
4) Y to grd-0 ohms
5) R to grd-0 ohms
6) W to grd-0 ohms
7) Coil primary side (tab to grd) .9 ohms, .3-.5 allowed
8) Coil Secondary side 6200 ohms cap removed
9) Cap installed 11,200 ohms 11,300 allowed
All values allowed +/- 20%
Also checked for 12VDC at W/BLU wire from CDI box, got nothing with key on or cranking.
Also re-installed old CDI unit to compare, still no spark.
I know various "no spark" situations have been covered previously but I am stumped. Any help? What am I missing?
Would I be a candidate for the RMStator DC conversion?
Opinions please.
Thanks in advance
