I realize that it is not a bike or a Honda. I picked up a 99 Polaris Trailboss 325. I got it running but it does not have any spark until you touch the accelerator.
I only figured this out after I was checking for spark and found it only has spark if you give it gas.
It runs good unless you let off the gas. First time for me just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what the solution was.
probably has a throttle safety switch . usualy located in throttle housing , to prevent spark if throttle is stuck,,,, or kill switch wires in throttle housing are screwed up and shorting out when throttle is at idle
Service manuals are golden.
For instance, I struggled to get the engine out of my '85.
Then read the manual step by step and it was revealed to take it out the opposite side.
At the very least, go online and get a parts breakdown and it will tell you if there is such a switch.
There is two wires that go into the throttle assembly with a kill switch attached to them. Slight adjustment needed on the cable and it is good to go. Only had the quad a few days so no chance to get a manual yet. That is usually the 1st thing to buy. Thanks for the help I got a quad to beat the shit out of.
