I REALLY need your help!
#1
I have a 1999 Yamaha Warrior that refuses to start. I have checked every electrical connection. I can find no loose or frayed wires. The battery is fine, because the headlights work, and the starter will turn over. I have done numerous spark tests, but it just won't spark. Not even a weak spark. I have a brand new spark plug, ordered a new ignition coil, and even a brand new CDI. I just dumped over $300 into this quad, and I have eliminated every possibility (I think). But nothing I've done has worked. I have read my Clymer's manual a dozen times. If any of you good people know of something I missed, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me out. Thanks a lot in advance.

Just something very simple... and I know that you probably checked it but...... heck I have done almost the same thing...... is the switch on the handle bar on.... or could it be shorted out??? just a thought. I know I have been towed home befor when my quad died and wouldn't start only to discover that I had bumped the switch ....
just a thought....
just a thought....

(FOREMANes is right; don't overlook the kill switch! Been there, done that.)
The CDI can go out, just like that, POOF!
A good dealer shop can actually save you money in cases like this, because they have the test equipment/substitute components to avoid buying unnecessary items (like the coil).
If you've chased the wiring in your manual and have all the continuity/hot connections/grounds you should, the ignition sensor pickup trigger and CDI can be checked by your shop.
I remember the bad old days when you had points and "condensers!" Less efficient, sure; but, the average shade-tree mechanic could work on 'em, test 'em, diagnose 'em, and fix 'em!
