WHAT TO DO
Check main fuse condition.
Check fuel tank level and check starting procedure,
particularly use of the choke.
Refer to SPECIAL PROCEDURES.
Check fuel tank level; turn fuel valve to ON (also try
on RES). A failure of the fuel pump or carburetor may
have occurred. Contact an authorized Bombardier
ATV dealer.
Check main fuse condition. Remove spark plug then
reconnect to ignition coil. Check that ignition switch
and/or engine stop switch is/are at the ON position.
Start engine with spark plug grounded to engine
away from spark plug hole. If no spark appears, re-
place spark plug. If trouble persists, contact an au-
thorized Bombardier ATV dealer.
As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter,
"cycles" of resistance should be felt as piston goes
past top dead center. If no pulsating resistance is
felt, it suggests a major loss of compression. Con-
tact an authorized Bombardier ATV dealer.
