Why does my ZR 600 have no spark?
I started my zr 600 yesterday and it ran for about 1 min and stalled, i now have no spark, i’m not sure if it is the stator or not, all the switches seem o.k. and my headlight will fire when i pull it over and the computer flashes also,but no spark. if anyone could give a few hints on what it may-be or what else to check that would be great. :bash:
What should the compression rate be in a car?
Insert the compression gauge extension and screw it in. Have someone crank the engine and watch the gauge until you reach maximum compression. A healthy engine should have 100 PSI per cylinder.
What causes a compression leak in a car?
Also, your compression leak may not be in the pistons or head gasket but in the valves. Exhaust valves and air intake valves at the top of the cylinder can also get overheated, and leak gas or the valve seals can become too worn to seal the gas in properly.
How do you check no spark Arctic Cat?
First put the spark plugs in the spark plug boots and lay them on the cylinder head bolt away from the cylinder plug hole so they are grounded. If you pull the sled over and the spark plug is over the spark plug hole and it sparks it will ignite. Pull the recoil rope and check the spark at the plug.
What happens when you turn off the engine on an Arctic Cat?
When in the “OFF” position the switch will ground the ignition wire to the chassis effectively “grounding out” the ignition system killing the spark. If a connecter becomes disconnected or if a wire gets cut then the switch will no longer turn off the engine.
Is the ZR 600 stator an open ignition?
Open Ignition: 1998 and newer ZR’s and ZL’s 1998-2002 ZRT 600,800 and 1000 with the exception of the 1997 ZR 580 that is an open ignition. With open ignitions a live wire goes from the ignition system to all of the switches.

Is the 1997 Arctic Cat ZR 580 an open ignition?
All Cats 1997 and earlier run a closed ignition, with the exception of the 1997 ZR 580 that is an open ignition. First you want to see if it an issue in the switches/handlebars or if it is in the primary ignition components: stator, cdi, coils, trigger coil or possibly plugs, plug wires or plug caps.

What to do if your EFI has no spark?
The ZR/ZL 500/600/580 EFI’s have the clear 3 prong rectangular plug and many of the 580/700 carbs have a triangular plug. If you have no spark and your trigger tests ok and your stator tests ok then we may be looking at a secondary coil issue. The coils can have a couple of issues with them.
