I've got a 98 Warrior that won't crank. Friend that I bought it through said he thinks it's the stator. I downloaded a manual and ohmed the leads to the stator. The style of plugs is "Style D (click for pic)". Readings are as follows:

3 pronged plug all white wires : 3 ohms no matter which 3 I tested.

2 pronged red wire and green wire : 270 ohms

2 pronged red wire and white wire : 700 ohms

Are these the correct readings?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

well, lets try some basics.
whats starts the quad? the battery and the starter. notice we didnt mention 'stator.'
thats like saying your truck wont start and it's the alternator's fault - in fact, that is what youve been told.
is there power in the battery? do the lights work? what do the lights do when you hit the starter button? does the start turn over? does the engine turn over when you pull start it? do you have spark when it turns over?

See there are a lot of questions you need to answer before we can help you. Do these in order and get back to me and I'll help you figure it out OK?

Hit the basics first.

Fresh gas?
Fresh plug?
Getting a spark?
Tested the coil?
Cleaned the carb?

 

Yes.....it turns over, yes it's got juice to the battery, yes it has spark, yes it has fuel.

The spark is kinda weak but it is there.

Sorry I didn't go into detail and state the obvious, figured it'd be a no brainer.

 

yes your pickup is BAD, please check my post "follow up to 92 warrior won't start"

your pickup should read 500 ohms, not 700. pickups are found on ebay for $40, it's a simple 30-40 minute fix.

 

i think you confused people when you said it wouldnt "crank". cranking to me isnt starting, its the starter "cranking". its def your pick up coil.

 

I can see your point. Thanks for the help. I'm ordering a pickup from rickystator.com right now.
