Arctic cat snowmobile Ignition and Safety Switch Diagnosis - and first Start!

I acquired a 1992 Arctic cat Snowmobile and I go thru it to see what works and what does not. and I also work on the ignition wiring & Safety Switches and the TSS Throttle Safety Switch.

Im having the same problem with my thumb throttle not tight enough to push on that internal safety without pressure on throttle. How did you fix it?

[@richardmaaske2601]

You had the button shut down . Than you pulled it up and than you had a good connection >

[@jeffwilliams332]

The throttle bar, I am having the same issue, its a not tight. It starts if I jam something like you said. Did you adjust the cable? I see the while plastic tie .

I like the part where he shows you wtf hes doing

[@davidfrank6666]

i would say it was the standard amount of smoke.

[@LEWCANFIXIT]

Good to know! thank you. you just never have to deal with it unless your sitting idle.

[@dillongates4520]

@@LEWCANFIXIT it will smoke alot until fully warm up

[@Evening120]

Wait how did you fix the spark problem ?

[@rustynutz4493]

Pronounced El Tee- Gray. Hand pull only sucks but once running they are Great Sleds.

[@williamtomisser5312]

If you dont have the key can you disconnect the ignition harness? would it start without the key?

[@williamtomisser5312]

i have a arctic cat prowler about the same as this one

[@LEWCANFIXIT]

Yes! If you just unplug the harness and put a jumper on the 2 non-yellow wires, that will allow the coil to make spark! But it also overrides all safety switches and key switch. So i recommend only doing this for testing purposes.

@@LEWCANFIXIT ah ok. I just grabbed my multitool and literally cut the key hole out of the plastic body of the machine. I tried connecting the two conductors together with a piece of wire but i couldent tell if it was working (it probably would have, the main reason for all of this is the machine has been sitting for three years outside so i had to get it going) so i just hot wired the copper wires together. im going to go to the locksmith sometime here soon and get a new key and gorilla tape the key hole back into the body. Its an old machine so i wasent really very sad about cutting into it. Thanks :)

Sounds good William, have a merry Christmas!
