my 1988 warrior ran great untill my starter clutch went out and i pushed started it a few times and rode it for a while but a month later i bought a starter clutch and installed it and i went to start it today and figured out it doesent have any spark. i took out the plug and grounded it and about every 15 seconds it would spark blue. this quad is makin me very angry so please help me out-jeff

 

Starter clutch?
Is that the starter located in front of the engine
Or the one way bearing located behind the flywheel?

IF you had the stator and flywheel out. I would check all the wires coming out of the stator cover. Make sure the connections are clean and that no wires were cut.

 

yeah a starter cutch is the one way bearing in there

would it make it not fire if i got oil on the stator? or does it run in oil regulary?

ill check these thing tonight

 

I have a 2000 warrior and it lost its spark i replaced the pulser pickup coil and it fixed it for a couple of months then the same thing happened.This time i replaced the whole stator it runs fine now.

 

so far ive narrowed it down to the coil so ive got to order one of those now so ill see what happens

 

a similar thing happened with my warrior and i thought it was the starter clutch but my mechanic said it was the coil so i am waiting to ride it and check it out i get it bak tomorrow

I had pretty much the same symptoms on my 87 Warrior. Very intermittent spark. I checked the resistances on the stator pickup coil and found one was out of spec per the manual. Bought a $40 replacement pickup coil from Ricky Stator and installed it. Works great now! Installing the pick-up coil was not too difficult, I re-routed the wires from the new pick-up coil in the wire track inside the stator cover and then out through the rubber grommet and then used a couple of crimp connectors to attach it to the existing wires.

 

now what exactly is a stator pickup coil? is that the little box with two wires coming out of it? but i just ordered a ignition coil as that was out of spec but the way people are talking the stator pickup coil that you were talking about i think may be my problem

 

so does anybody know how to a test a stator pickup coil? ive got the stator cover off right now and dont have any numbers to go by and how to test it.

 

ok guys i finally found my problem[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img], turns out the flywheel i bought along with my starter clutch was different than the 1988 flywheel. therefore not sparking at the right time and stuff, im so releaved now!
