The magneto is probably bad if all of the wiring is good.

I have a 02 Polaris 400 ATV and drains the battery. The bike will run without a battery in it so I assume it must be charging yet it will run a fully charged battery down in 2 hrs. Any suggestions?

2004 polaris ranger battery not staying charged when operating but when engine is off battery not affected cutting out and dying what could be the problem?
battery is being drained as it operates and not taking charge

check tightness and clean both terminals and cables

how old is the battery
may have a dead cell ..wont take charge

check the charging input to the battery with a volt meter
has to be above 12 volts
if lower or equal to 12 volts ...no good
the charging stator inside the engine needs testing or repair or replace

stator is another word for an alternator or a generator


why it plays up
best guess the ATV if a 12 volts system wont run on 11 volts
