Background: 2005 Suzuki Eiger 4x4 Auto.
ATV sat for about 3 years while I didn’t have a lease. I got on a lease this year. Replaced battery, drained old gas, changed oil, oil filter, air filter.
Finally got it started and running and took it to the lease I’m on. Drove around for a while. Stopped to do something, and the ATV wouldn’t start back up. Loaded up in the truck and took it home.
Assuming some varnishing in the carburetor from old gas, I have replaced the carburetor (only about $50, so I prefered to replace than try to clean and rebuild since the big issue is labor taking it off).
Couldn’t get it to start.
I have replaced the ignition coil and spark plug.
Still won’t start. It does seem to try to turn over, so I’m sure the starter is not the problem.
I am getting power to the ignition coil (via multi meter testing), but I can’t get the spark plug to spark (I have two new ones).
On an ATV board, someone suggested disconnecting the temperature sensor for the fan (apparently if the sensor is bad, the ATV won’t start?). I did that and still no spark.
I am good with my hands and can fix what I know needs to be fixed. But I am no gearhead and don’t know much about the workings of an engine.
So, anybody have helpful suggestions for this DIYer?
