Can a weak battery cause a Polaris ignition system to fail?
Important: Don’t be fooled by a weak battery. Polaris PWC require a strong and healthy battery. A weak battery may crank the engine, but if the voltage delivered while cranking is not high enough the CDI will not provide proper spark. Before diagnosing any other aspect of the ignition system, make very sure the battery is strong enough.
How does the ignition system work on a Polaris engine?
As the motor cranks over with the starter motor, the rotating flywheel magnets energize the LR voltage regulator module (Yellow wire) and activate the CDI ignition module with energy from the stator exciter coil (Purple). The CDI in turn delivers 8 volt DC power (Brown wire) to the electronic Hall Effect sensors in the hub of the stator.
What is the ignition coil number for a Polaris Gen III?
The ignition coil for Gen III has two Black/White primary coil wires connected to the CDI. Both CDI-to-coil wires are the same color. There is also a ground connection to the coil (Black). Gen III Upgrade Kit Ignition coil part number is 4010175 for the two cylinder 700cc engine. Unplug all stator wires.
What is Service Bulletin pwc-00-05 for Polaris?
Service Bulletin PWC-00-05 modifies all 1996-1999 to match the factory configuration of models manufactured from 2000 onwards to have the CDI power controlled by the Orange (switched) output of the LR voltage regulator module. This change corrects a no-warm-restart problem with some CDI.
What kind of engine does Polaris Virage TXI have?
While the Virage TXi is technically a new model for 2001, it is based on last year’s Virage TX but with the addition of Polaris’s Ficht Ram Injection installed on the two-stroke 1200 Marine engine.
How does Planet Sound Reduction Work on Polaris Virage TXI?
The Virage TXi was also fitted with the PLANET sound-reduction system that debuted on last year’s Genesis. The system uses resonators in the exhaust system and other sound-dampening techniques to significantly reduce the sound output on the engine. The rest of the engine should be familiar to Polaris fans.
How many gallons does a Polaris Virage hold?
Polaris changed the seat vinyl this year on all of it seats this year, improving the look and feel. The footwell pads have also been changed and now feature a new outline shape with no open gaps for better traction. Storage capacity is rated at 32.7 gallons. There is a roomy 15.7-gallon front bin, with another 14.3-gallon beneath it.
What kind of emissions system does Polaris use?
This addition is significant, since the direct-injection system provides Polaris with a performance craft capable of meeting the EPA’s emissions standards for the year 2006, as well as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2002 standards. The Ficht system, which debuted on last year’s Genesis FFI, is proven and effective.
