3. No fuel to the engine (spark plug dry when removed).

Check fuel tank level; turn fuel valve to ON (also try on RES). A failure of
the fuel pump or carburetor may have occurred.

Check that ignition switch and/or engine stop switch is/are at the ON posi-
tion.
–
Start engine with spark plug grounded to the engine away from spark plug
hole. If no spark appears, replace spark plug.

5. Engine compression.
–
As the engine is pulled over with the kick stater, “cycles” of resistance
should be felt as piston goes past top dead center. If no pulsating resis-
tance is felt, it suggests a major loss of compression. Contact an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer.
