I have a 1999 foreman 400. Its ran great, never had any problems till now. For the past few months it has been getting harder and harder to start and now nothing. I checked everything, and found out that there is now spark. If you have any ideas id like to hear them. I was told that the rectifier goes on these things. If there is some way to test it and the cdi id like to know. Thanks James

what is the ohm meter suppose to read off the rectifier i need to check mine i bought a 97 foreman 400 for $200 and it didnt have spark i changed and upgraded the cdi box but im still not getting spark

 

[Honda Mechanic]

There isn't an actual reg/rec test , you test everything else ... What is your email address and I can email you the charging & ignition sections from the 1995-00 Honda TRX400FW PDF shop manual ... Some of the ignition tests are done using a peak voltage adapter ..

Ive got a 98 foreman 400 , and im having the same problem my weeler wont spark either , i bought a new plug , i tested the coil and i bought a new CDI box ,

Now people are telling me its my ECM that is causeing the problem, but a new ECM Costs about $130 , and i allready spent $150 on CDI.

So Could The ECM be the problem???
