Why does my Arctic Cat 400 not start?
Re: Arctic cat 400 won’t start…. Our early cars had the same problem…..it was due to a ballast ignition fault, the voltage to the coil is reduced from 12volt to 10 volts during start up. There may be a ballast wire in the ignition system that’s faulty. Run a new wire to the coil from the battery to test out the theory. cheers
What should DC volts be on Arctic Cat 400?
Pull the white and blue stripes wire off the coil. Place red probe on wire terminal and black wire to good ground. Meter on DC volts turn key on voltmeter should read around 35 volts. I bet it reads higher.
How can I get my Artic cat to turn over?
Put one in the gas tank to mix with the gas there. If you have access to the carburetor, pour part of the bottle of cleaner into the carburetor and work the throttle and choke back and forth a few times with the cleaner in place. Gently try moving the choke plate or float to see if they are sticking.
How can I tell if my ATV battery is fully charged?
Start by charging the battery. To perform this test you want to make sure the open circuit voltage available at the battery is above 12.4V (at least 75% charged). To check this you simply put your meter to DC voltage setting and connect the leads to the battery.

What should I do if my ATV battery is not charging?
If it were to start leaking or, in the worst case, blow up, at least you won’t damage the ATV. Connect a suitable battery charger and let it charge overnight — red cable to the positive terminal, black cable to the negative terminal or ground. When the charging cycle is complete, it’s time to read what voltage the battery holds.

Where is the battery on a Polaris Sportsman?
Put the key in the “Off” position.” Locate your battery. It’s often located behind a plastic panel up high at the front of the ATV. But it may also be found in less ideal places, like on this Polaris Sportsman 570, where the battery sits exposed on the bottom of the frame. On some ATVs, it may even be at the rear of the bike.
