JUST BOUGHT 1999 MXZ 600.FIRST RIDE SLED OVER HEATED AND BLEW UP 2 NEW HEAD LIGHTS BULBS.FIX ENGINE(STRIPPED GEAR ON WATER PUMP SHAFT) +REPLACED VOLTAGE REGULATOR.NOW THE SLED DOES NOT START. NO SPARK AT THE PLUGS. THE PLUGS ARE NEW, THE KILL SWITCH AND DESS ARE OK, THE STATOR+MAGNETO TEST OK. COULD THE HIGH VOLTAGE FROM THE IGNITION HAD DAMADGE THE MODULE.THERE WAS SPARK BEFORE THE ENGINE REPAIRS AND EVERYTHING WAS CAREFULLY PUT BACK TOGETHER. THERE IS NO STARTER OR BATTERY ON THE SLED. COULD THERE BE A GROUND WIRE MISSING OR FORGOTTEN FROM THE ENGINE TO THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS OR IS IT REALLY THE STATOR MAGNETO THAT ARE DEFECTIVE..NEED HELP PLEASE.THE SLED HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR DAYS AND THE SNOW KEEPS FALLING.THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

found the problem on the mxz 600. the stator was defect but when i tested the stator it tested good even compared with the new one the tests readings were the same ,even tried the old stator back on after putting the new one and it did not start,put the new one on and the engine fired right away.so be carefull guys even if tests are good does not mean it really is good. i just took a chance and was lucky cause the part is really expensive

How do you test a stator? I think mine may be bad.

Hi Jemms, i went to a local shop that builds and repairs stators,and they tested it and told me it tested ok. But i was not sure it was ok so i found a dealer that had a new stator in stock and compared the resistance of the ignition and they were the same(34 ohms) for the WH and RD wires and the specs are 24-36 ohms and 3-6 ohms for the WH and BK/RD wires. So i took a chance cause i was pretty sure the stator was the problem cause everything else related to the ignition was ok. They say the stator is 90% the cause of ignition troubles.
