Hello everyone, I am have a problem getting my sled started. I have a 99 Vmax 500 SX. I am not getting any power to anything. I have put a test light on every connection I could find. I tested the kill switch, tested the voltage regulators, and tested the main coming off the stator. I would rather not pull the water pump off to get to the stator but I will if I have to. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do or if I need to get to the stator? I have never had a problem before this year.

Dynmaic Ignition Sys Check
1.)do a dynamic check, hook up multi meter to pick up coil wires and pull the engine over, does it have varying voltage coming out of it?
2.)if "yes"it does, then check again at the same wires going into the cdi box, same thing?
3.) if "yes" - go to the output wire on the cdi, it goes down to the coils, does it show varying voltage at a higher voltage spec then on the other side coming from engine when you pull it over?
4.) if "no" the cdi box is faulty.
5.)if -"yes" then you have a primary coil problem if no spark

Thanks after a lot of elimination I discover that my coil ground had been set in the wrong place. Thanks for the help!

Liquid tape or grease/Vaseline helps keep corrosion away.
