It is strange to me that it started without the neutral light being on. I was having an issue with my neutral switch and it would NOT crank without that light on, even though it was in neutral. Even jumping across the solenoid without the neutral light on prevented spark but allowed it to crank over. I tried two solenoids with the same result. I had to ground the neutral switch to "trick" the machine into thinking it was in neutral, until I can run it enough to make sure it is worth putting more work into it, then I will replace the switch, which I understand in in behind the stator.
@@ericpigg2689 It was just a bad display bulb. I had to take the cover off to check it out. Im guessing you don’t have to have the bulb for it to crank since it worked for me.
Don’t go looking at replacement speedos for these unless you wanna have a heart attack. Good ones are hard to find and expensive. Even the boards to redo your own are expensive if you can find em. I work on them often and to get my hands on a working one was what I could pick up another whole atv with a broken speedo lol
