Hey Guys......

Once again, I'm having the same no spark condition with a 1988 Suzuki LT-4WD. I replaced many of the electrical parts including the coil, nothing worked. I gave up and took it to a local dealer to be fixed. When I took the bike in, they insisted on checking the wiring first, and said it was fine. So, a rebuilt stator was installed including quite a few gaskets. Ten weeks later, and a bill of almost $800 (which included 4 new tires) I got my quad back. I plowed my driveway about 5 times, and brought firewood to my deck probably 5 times. It ran like a brand new machine! Then, about 3 weeks ago, it wouldn't start again!!!!! I checked, again, it had NO SPARK! UGH! I borrowed a truck and had to push it to load it. When I got to the repair shop, it started right up. Today, they called and said they cannot get it to start and wanted to see what I wanted to do. He said the bill was already up to $179 for checking the wiring!!!!! But I already paid for that testing of the wires the first time, didn't I??! Obviously, I paid for a rebuild on the stator and gaskets too for no reason. It must have been fine, and the problem is in the wiring somewhere. How come they can't find it?

When I took the bike to the shop, they said it was a "recheck" and they said they would take care of me. I NEVER thought they were going to charge me again unless it needed a part to fix the problem! I've got so much invested in this ATV now, that I have to keep going, but I'll have to find the problem myself. I'll get the bike back home soon. I hope I can talk them out of this last "BS" $179 charge, seeing how I already paid for the wiring check the first time it was there! I feel like I am being ripped off!

(This ATV has never been abused, and I have owned it since it was brand new. It is in excellent condition, except for the electrical problem.)

Can anyone shed some light on this no spark condition?

Thanks,
Jackie
