Starting Problems

[DOUBLEDEUCE]

I HAVE A '96 SPORTSMAN 500. IT IS THE 3RD SPORTSMAN I HAVE BOUGHT. THIS ONE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. I HAVE REPLACED STARTER, SOLENOID, BATTERY, AND IGNITION COIL. I STILL HAVE NO FIRE. THE MOTOR TURNS OVER AND I HAVE COMPRESSION. I HAVE CHECKED THE AUX SWITCH, AND THE IGNITION COIL AND THEY CHECK OUT FINE. DOES THIS ALL POINT TO THE STATOR COIL??? THIS ATV HAS SAT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS B/C OF NUMEROUS ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES I'VE HAD. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE AWESOME. IF IT IS THE STATOR, ANY ADVICE ON WHERE TO GET ONE OTHER THAN THE DEALERS DOWN HERE IN FLORIDA, THEY'RE CRZY ON PRICES?

I was just at the Polaris shop today asking about a similar problem. The mechanic said the stator is a common problem. Check it for continuity. If it doesn't have any then you know the problem.
