Very good,out to test

what about 93' and under does this style work to diagnos a problem? and does this work on other makes and models to or just cats thanks for the video it was very informative

[BlaineDP]

It can work on other years/models....it is more of an outline on a basic way to test electrical componentes more based on Cats than other models. There were other makes/models of sleds/other 2-stroke toys that were based on the closed loop system and some were based on the open loop system throughout the 80's and I've read back in teh 70's also.

you say if it runs fine and it could be electrical (hand warmers lights ect..) could that mean the tts or kill switch key/teather?

[BlaineDP]

yes. Watch some of my other Cat eletrical diagnosis videos.

What do I do when my 1994 ZR580 boggs? is it electrical and what do I check for? thanks so much...

View a few of my other videos. You need to be able to tell if it is an ignition issue or a switch issue. COuld be a bad ground, bad plug wire connection, your stator could be bad so you need to measure the ohms on it, it could even be a carb issue, clutching issue..I cna't diagnose without actually seeing/hearing it but use the eletrical diagnosis sheet I sent you to help walk through the process of diagnosing it.

I do run air filters on my sled. I just didn'thave them on during the video.

For those 2 guys out there looking at my CDI box/coil area, I just have the coils zip tied for now but there are holes in the "plate" where I do fasten them tightly using the factory bolts and spacers for the season.

Another way you could shut off an open ignition (the kind where you just unplug it and start it up) you could just plug the 4-way plug back in and use the key to shut it off. Just be aware that the exhaust heats up quickly by the plug area.

AG on Arcticchatdotcom stated: I carry a long jumper wire in my tool box that we use to kill the engine (1998+ Open ignition) and leave it connected when we stop for refreshments. When unplugging an open ignition or using the jumper wire on a closed ignition you also want to include the safety issues that when riding because there will be no way to shut off the engine.
