You mean to tell me, you didn't hear me screaming last night? It still is messed up, however, it does start more often and run for longer periods of time. In fact, I took it for a ride last night and it ran great! But, I just knew it was too good to be true! This morning, it started and died, started and died, many times, then suddenly it sprang to life and kept running for about 30 minutes. I shut it off, came in the house for a little while, went back out, and it won't start again. Apparently it isn't the CDI, huh? GGgrrrrrrrr!!!! Before I shut it down, I flexed every wire on the thing and it never faultered.
Oh, and Yes, I did disconnect the kill switch.
What next besides a gallon of gas and a match?

Sorry... Saw in an earlier post you had already met old D-ray..
If not the flywheel or stator then has to be either a left control switch or wiring problem since you've just about checked out everything else. A coil can break down also, but usually when they got hot,a plug wire can pull out of a coil,a small bare spot in the wire can intermittently arc to ground,but haven't looked back in your posts to see if you've replaced that also.

When the quad was running yesterday, I did a voltage test out of the stator and, if I remember correctly, got 70-80 ACV. It was hard to hold the DVM and rev the engine at the same time.
I'm looking at a wire harness on ebay and I will get it, test it thoroughly, and put it on the ATV to see if that helps. Seven years ago, I had a problem similar to this and eventually found a bad waterproof connector. I cut that out and the ATV had been running perfectly ever since.
I will look at the left switch tomorrow.
Any more suggestions to try?
