The little thing that caused a big problem. When I was pulling the flywheel, I put one of the puller bolts in too deep and it damaged the coil. Thanks for the help guys!

I am assuming that the sled had spark before the engine tear down and the parts going back in are the same parts that came off the running engine and that you have triple checked all the connections.

First I would unplug the wireing harness from the sled and check to see if there is spark.  The engine should run without being connected to the sled harness.

If it sparks then, the problem is on the sled side.  I would check the kill switch first and then the key switch.

if no spark then it is in one of three parts on the engine.  Spark coil, CDI and flywheel.  The last time I had no spark on a rebuild i found the flywheel key had slipped out on re-assembly and the flywheel was not timed correctly.  While I have heard of CDI's going bad, I personally in several dozen sleds have not had a bad CDI.
Okay thanks. I'll be looking into this tomorrow, and I'll let you know.
Let us know how it goes.

I just got done putting new seals in a Kawasaki 440 fan cooled. Everything went very smoothly, but now I have no spark. I've checked everything I can think of. Any thoughts?

I wish Michigan would close their trails…. As soon as we get 2 flakes everyone and their brother are out grinding the trails to dirt. 

Hoping for some snow!

I'm hoping for some open trails this year.  My sleds really need some exercise.

Amen

First of the sleds out of summer storage and getting prepped to be ready for when we get our first snow.  The other sleds come out next week.
