All the connections were cleaned. All the switches were checked and are good. The spark is very erratic. Any ideas out there? I hate electronic gremlins.

I would suspect a bad coil. or somthing in the CDI. *

Does the sled run. *And if it does do you have power for the gauges and lights.

R.V.R. have you check the resistance of the spark plug resistor caps? I doo belive that they should be 5k omh.

RVR *Double-check the owners manual for your sled. Some Bombardier ignitions MUST use resistor plugs. * RB http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
