I have a 1999 400 forman, it is turning over, but not starting, and no power to the coil? it ran until i went over a log and it bottomed out on the skid plate hard, kept running afterwards but once i turned it off, it wouldn't start., found a stray wire off the oil sensor, it's on again but still not working, could the sensor be shot??

Yes it is a low oil sensor / switch. It could be faulty, but it can be bypassed by disconnecting it. I would check all of your wire connections from your stator to your ignition switch..

SOURCE: Bike Died - No Power

i would check if you have a short somewhere.....but first make sure your battery connections are tight....gauges turning off and on while riding is usually a sign of a loose connection meaning you hit a bump or something and it briefly clips out...did the bike actually turn off??? i dunno....but that seems to be a very odd problem....take out the battery, put it on a trickle and let it charge to full cap....then reconnect making sure the terminal connections are secure and see what happens.... if that works, we''ll have to start diagnosing further, but like they always say, check the obvious first !

SOURCE: starting problems

Have you checked to see if there is a spark at the plugs? When you pull one of the plugs, if the plug is drenched in fuel then it is flooded. Pull each plug and dry it off as best you can. Let the cylinders air out for a while before you put the plugs back in.

SOURCE: still no spark to plugs even after replacing coils.

Either your pulse generator does not give right pulses to the ECU or your ECU need replacement.Find the wires that travel from the pulse gen to the ECU to check them for pulse.

SOURCE: I have a 1997 Honda

In this bike the speedo is an electromagnetic type: a sensor sends impulsed to an conversion board that transforms them in a steady and proportional voltage that is displayed by an needle measuring electromagnetic indicator.
So only 4 things can go wrong with it - to check for them dismantle the speedo, lift the rear wheel, engage top gear and start th engine:
1 - the conversion board doesn't get powered - check for the presence of 12v at the speedo board.
2 - the sensor is dead - check for the 50mV signal coming from it to the board.
3 - the electromagnetic indicator is faulty - check the voltage on it , about 2,5V
4 - the board is dead - if the first 3 are ok then this is the cause.
If the indicator or the board are defective then the speedo is dead, replace it.

I have a 2015 polaris ranger mid size 4x4 electronic start. The engine turns over, the fuel pump seems to put out a good stream, but there is no fire. Are there some simple tests I can try? Walt

Make sure your rig is in neutral. Some types cut the plug power others cut all power. It does sound like a blown coil pack . If it was hard to start or ran rough when going this is an indicator but not always the case.

2000 yamaha grizzly issues when warm

Check oil level capacity, to ensure in specs. Check spark plugs, ensure its clean and correct plug for your quad.the only other could be is ign coil breaking down when warm. Check fire at plug when this happens. First ensure oil level is correct. Make sure your electric fan is on when bike is warmed up.

Can gas or water get in oil if four wheeler sits on end for a hour?

Being a 2012, I am sure it is fuel injected and not carbureted, so I am sure that there would be no fuel in there. I truly doubt that oil would be in there unless this crash was violent enough to crack a block or head. If it were mine, I would check the oil level, if good, start it and run to operating temperature. Then turn it off and let cool to cold, check oil level, as well as check coolant. If the coolant looks lime green(if it uses green coolant) and not chocolate milkshake brown, I would say you are good to go!

I have a 185 kawasaki bayou atv. the neutral light won't come on,you got to hold the shifter down alittle .how can i fix this? will not start untill it is on.it it is a 1986

I had a similar problem. pull start worked no problem, and starter only sometimes. turns out the starting system as a whole (starter, old wires, solenoid etc) were drawing so much power that it wasn't allowing much for power for the coil and spark. it was too weak

Take your battery to O'Reilly's or AutoZone and have the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) checked..(load test).. this WILL tell you if your battery is good or not. Once you have a good battery,,you must isolate each item (one at a time) you are trying to check/eliminate as a suspect problem
