How to check a coil, Polaris help needed?
From the Poolaris FACTORY service manual: Primary winding resistance should be .3 to .5 ohm, the secondary should be 6300 ohm (+/- 10%) WITHOUT the resistor cap. The resistor plug cap should be 5000 ohms. Good luck! Fe Man I am Iron Moran! Thanks all!
When did Polaris change the ignition to DC?
Eventually, in mid-2004, Polaris updated the ignition to a DC powered ignition which pretty much eliminated ignition failures. But that left a huge number of 2002 to early-2004 models that were doomed to fail, often at a very inopportune time.
What should I know about the Polaris Sportsman ignition?
The problematic section of the stator is no longer used, and the new secondary ignition coil is isolated from the CDI in contrast to the integral coil/CDI that comes from the factory. The result is more reliability, better spark, and easier diagnosis should you have another problem in the future.
How does the ignition coil work in a CDI?
In a CDI ignition system,a storage capacitor is charged to a high voltage (a few hundred volts) by the flywheel charging coil and, at the proper moment quickly discharged into the primary winding of the ignition coil,which is actually a stepup pulse-transformer. The secondary output is a short very high amplitude pulse which fires the spark plug.
How to test the ignition coil on a Polaris ATV?
how to test your ignition coil? Primary and 2ndary tests. Primary is touching the ignition terminal ( spade where the CDI wire connects) to the small flat terminal where the mounting bolt goes thru. Careful here as it is not the several sandwiched pieces of metal coming out of the coil, its actually a shiny flat spade bent to fit along that.

What causes a Polaris Ranger to hesitate and die?
What was causing my Ranger to hesitate and die. The wire feed to the TPS (Throttle Positioning sensor) had a chafed spot I found when I went to inspect the TPS. I placed a piece of pipe insulation between the wiring and the Starter motor’s positive connection.
