well i wanted to go riding yesterday,so i got try to start the 400,it didnt go,so i figured it was considered a cold blooded machine so i left it in my heated garage for a hour with the battery charging,i come back out and still nothing,so i check if there is any spark... of course not,i check the whole wiring system 5 times!!!...i recleaned all my ground wires,charged the battery,everything,im stumped right now i have no clue what the problem is....stator maybe?it turns over,and there is lil compression,but no spark,whats happening here?i would like to ride today,thanks

are all the wires connected properly??

you can hook the positive cable of the charger up to the starter and ground the other and should be able to get it started.

I had this happen to me once and i done everything, so i took it to my mechanic and he fixed it. He wouldnt tell me what was wrong because he said everyone would laugh.. It was something simple i just overlooked.

if you checked everything else id suggest putting a new plug in it or checking other possible reasons. But id be willing to bet its the plug

Hes right...You prob got all the jetting reccomendations in form hmf and ****....The air is colder and it leans it out i think...So check plug and put a 42 pilot in..

lmao thats the easy way, im surprsied u didnt think the plug first thats what id check :rolleyes: :blah:

well on a 400 the spark plug is a lil bit of a b1tch to get out,so i decided to check everything else first

make sure that the wire that goes into the spark plug cap is connected good. those can sometimes pull off and or get corroded. usualy you can cut the wire back a bit and make a new connection.

better yet, pull the cap of the wire and see if you have any power in that wire.

[JDiablo]

i did i took the plug cap off,and stuck the negative wire tester in there and it was all good the connection,a lil over 12 volts :devil:

[Ralph]

then you have a bad plug, if you cannot get another you can try to clean the old one with a wire wheel and check the gap on the electrode.

edit: im an idiot i just read it over again and realized you already solved it...
