2000 Virage with 2001 electrical, not running

[K447]

... only wires not hookd up are one gray wire was told it was for a rev lim and a gray with purple chaser that turns into a brown that goes to an exhaust temp sensor. It gets fuel now since i cleaned the carbs It will also crank with the lanyard out ?

There are TWO gray wires from the CDI, not just one. The Gray wire with bullet connector is for the stator and must be connected.

The gray wire with spade terminal connects to the Gray (or TAN on non-diode boards) connection on terminal board.

Looking at the 2001 Virage TX wiring diagram, the Gray/Red wire is for the Reverse limit switch, via a diode on the terminal board. Tan wire is via another diode, both feed into the Gray wire to the CDI for RPM limiting.

Gray/Red also connects to the MFI display for Reverse Mode warning.

You can bypass the LR-Start/Stop module to see if that is interfering with something. Details via my signature links.

I dont have spots on my board for the gray wires

You have the electrical system from which year and model, exactly?

What is the part number on your terminal board?

And which year and model machine do you have, exactly?

My ski is a 2000 polaris virage. And i was told the ebox i bought was for a 2001 virage but when it came in the harness was different andthe cdi was a 558 also the board was slightly different. The board i have is as 2410202 and the new on i got is a 4010366

I swapped the boards last night, hooked up all the wires. now i traced the gray with red chaser and it turns into a brown or tan wire that goes into the mfd and and exhaust temp sensor.

I was able to get it to fire but would not cometly start. i also had a fully charged batter right of the charger

[K447]

Does the terminal board have diodes? One or Two diodes?

Check battery voltage while engine is cranking. It must be over 10.6 volts while cranking or you will not have spark.

The new board has two diodes with i believe tan, red/gray and gray terminals.

And i do have over 10.6

What exactly is it doing?

When cranking does it sometimes fire for a stroke or two, then go back to cranking?

Does it backfire?

[red1997cobra]

Yes exactly it will fire a couple strokes then go back to cranking and a small backfire but more of a stroke puffnout the exhaust

Hold down the Bilge button while trying to start. Does it start, or even try more?

If no difference, and you are certain the battery is delivering enough voltage while cranking, then more diagnostics. Essentially you need to determine if the CDI is bad, the stator is bad, the LR module is bad, or the wiring is bad.

The LR Start/Stop module can be bypassed for testing. Easy to do, and can remain bypassed until you get the problem sorted out.

My signature links lead to tests for the domestic Gen III stator, including coil and Hall Effect sensor tests.

The CDI cannot be directly tested. Instead, you test everything around the CDI. If still no results, then the CDI is suspect.

It is also possible that there is a wiring problem somewhere. A single incorrect connection or missing/bad ground can cause all sorts of trouble.

I know for a fact i have spark so assumer the cdi is good I changed the lr505 didnt notice a difference i havnt had a chance to look at your page but can you tell me about the hall sensor

[Mr. GP1800]

You may have spark, but it may be occurring at the wrong time....

[red1997cobra]

I dont know much about polaris but thas what it seems like to me ive been talkn to k447 about ot gotn a lot of good tips just cant get it to run
