I have 97 scrambler 500 4x4 ran great no issues til on day me and my wife would out riding we went through a mud hole and the bike back fired and died so we pulled it back home then next day I went out tried starting it nothing so I cleaned the carb still nothing so I pulled the plug dirty and fouled out so I got a new one gapped then tried to starting it again nothing so I decided to check spark there was none so I pulled the stator cover and found wires broken so I pulled the flywheel to replace stator and one of the magnets on the flywheel so I got new one as well I put it all back together and nothing so I sprayed some starting fluid and got it to start it ran but bogged wouldn't idle then die and won't start it's got spark but weak it's getting gas tested everything under the sun and still nothing and it's bugging me cuz I replaced everything I could think of too and now I'm ready to put a couple holes in it cuz its down and any help would be much greatly appreciate

 

Couple things it could be. IF you got one of those cheap Chinese stators on ebay,some are hit or miss.https://www.ebay.com/sch/3085561%20Polaris?rmvSB=true Same for the flywheel as a different model may not work if not the same number,plus the newer ones have been updated to enclosed magnets.

 

My new stator is from rmstator and the flywheel is update design of my original flywheel numbers and the pulsar coil ohm out good like I said it has spark but weak and it's got gas and if I spray starting fluid in the carb it'll back fired and start and run if I stay on the throttle but will not idle on it's own and if it dies it will not start back up on it's own and won't start on starting fluid unless it sits for a while I checked the throttle safety feature and it's not that I also check the kill switch on the lever it's not that not the four-wheel drive system due to it never worked when I got the bike and it ran just fine til the mud hole and stator wires cut could it be a bad cdi box like is there a way to test it

 

First disconnect the black wire from the reverse over ride(#30) and see if that solves the problem. If that doesn't help, disconnect the black wire from the cdi.IF that solves the problem then could be a problem in the ignition switch,left control switch or their wiring.Cleaning connections may help also.

 

I have replaced my ignition key switch with oem one thinking that was the problem due to if I played with the key it work catch but I have tried the black wire from the cdi box but I didn't try the black for the reverse and is there a way to disable the kill switch just case that's causing it because every now and again I have to play with it cuz if not the fan won't work

 

Pull the black wire from the reverse over ride module!! This may solve it. When you disconnect the black wire from the cdi you bypass both the ignition switch and the left control switch kill circuits. If you still don't have spark,plus coil resistance specs checks out,possible the problem is the cdi itself. That's why all the tests around it as there's really no good way to fully test one. Manuals call to replace with a "known" good one on cdis if everything else checks out. Easy for a shop to do but not the average owner. Again pull the black wire from the reverse limiter module as they can retard/cut spark if they fault which all of them eventually do. And the left control switch is another problem area on a lot of them over time. Check its connectors and grease. Use a little electrical contact spray in the cracks and crevices.

 

Oh ok I didn't know that the black wire from the cdi bypass them so if doin that and still nothing I eliminated the kill switch and the key switch and it's got spark it's just a orange ish color not the bright blue ish white spark and if I check that black wire from the reverse module and it starts and idle like it should does that mean I got a bad reverse module

 

A lot of people have been surprised when they eliminated the reverse limiter. Like I mentioned it can retard spark,kill spark on some when placed in reverse gear if it fails. This may not be your problem,but it's one of the things to eliminate.With both the cdi and limiter wires pulled and you've checked the ignition coil resistance,primary and secondary along with the plug cap resistance,the problem could be in the cdi itself or could even be in that new stator.Plus again make sure all your connections are clean and dry from going through that mud hole as you mentioned.

 

How do I test the coil and the coil wire and booylt was replaced also with oem Polaris parts

 

Oh before I replaced the coil it had a weak spark so that's the reason I replaced that
