What are the specs on a 1998 Polaris snowmobile?
I could only find the 1998 test specs, but I think they are the same as your sled. You have a pick-up or triggering coil, a charge coil and lighting coil under the flywheel, A CDI box and ignition coils in the system. By unplugging the black wire you have bypassed the safety switch and kill switch, so we know those are good.
What should the AC be on a Polaris snowmobile?
Your pick-up coil should produce a tiny pulse of .5-2 volts AC when you pull it over. That is on the blue and red wires and that test is not in the manual. Don’t forget to test the stator plate ground wire (brown) to ground.

How can I check for spark in my snowmobile?
Check connection of the spark plug cap to the spark plug wire. Also check the spark plug wire condition. 3. Disconnect the main electrical connector coming out of the engine, and then check for spark again. This unhooks the kill switch, ignition switch and wiring for those switches.
