2001 Polaris Virage 1200 TX, no spark, need advice

[Patrickbaker]

Hello everyone looking for some advice on my Virage. I have the 1200 black engine and i have no spark. I have a new battery providing 13 volts so thats not the issue. I have power going to and from my stator and after taking it out and checking it everything looks good there. I have replaced the LR 505 module, the ground board attached to it, i have replaced the ignition coils as well. I have power in the yellow/brown, blue/black, green/black, and black/white when cranking but still no spark. I have tried to bipass the gauge, i have tried holding the bilge button and nothing seems to work. I have checked all the safetys and they all seem operational as normal. My next thought was CDI but as i'm sure some of you know it is pricey. I wanted to check first if anyone has any advice. Thanks!

Welcome.

Bypass the LR-505 module until you get the engine running. Bypass info has been posted elsewhere on this forum and also findable via the link below.

Battery voltage measurement that matters is the voltage while the engine is actually cranking. Put a decent meter right at the battery posts and crank the engine while watching the meter. A strong battery will stay above 11.0 volts during cranking.

With the LR-505 bypassed check the voltage feeding directly into the CDI module. Should be well above 10.6 volts during cranking.

There are other things to check and diagnostics, but the above is the baseline to start with

Where are you from? At the top of the page there is a "My Profile" link where you can add your location. There are many on the board that may be willing to stop by and help with diagnostics. I happen to have a CDI that is known to have good spark, but won't acknowledge the kill signal sent by wither the LR module or removing the lanyard, and if you're local it's a quick way to check that piece of the equation out.

The CDI power is on the red/pur(ple stripe) wire.
Try it with black lead at ground and also at CDI black wire.

If there is enough voltage while cranking, out put on Brown wire should be around 9v while cranking.
Responding with exact results helps alot.
