Is there a spark on my Arctic Cat 400?
We currently have a customer’s 2004 Arctic Cat 400 4×4 Automatic Trans in our shop. The complaint was “won’t start”. We checked and found the vehicle to have no spark. Using the test procedures found in the Arctic Cat manual, we tested for voltage at the White/Blue wire feeding to the ignition coil.
With the key on, if I go to attach the positive wire to the coil, it makes one high voltage spark and in a second or two when you touch the wire to the coil again it will have that same spank again. What do I need to replace? You can post now and register later.
