Start with the simple things first, try new plugs!!!! Then work your way along from there back to the mag. Also don't rule out the kill switch or the key switch.

:withstupid: Plugs first (they are the easiest and cheapest). My 90 Prowler had a fuel pump problem also.

I have a 90 prowler, didn't have a starting problem but had about every other electrical problem. Ripped it down and rewired everything. Now it is like gold. Just from experience, check all those wires. Could always be a short with that old of a sled.

Points and condensers? The sled has CDI ignition. w00t

Those sleds were famous for the faulty coils. My guess is that you check the coil if everything else fails. Is it the 440 l/c engine?

I agree with Daryl, check the coils,,,,,

Yeah-the 440 in the prowler is liquid cooled-with CDI-just to help clear things up-
