Yes, it will be on one of the narrow sides, look for a small view port.

jeffb8074 · 12-17-2010, 05:18 PM

hmm i will have to check it tonight

jeffb8074 · 12-17-2010, 05:53 PM

Well i tried it, and it only flashed once when i turned it on, and it started on the 4th pull, i am not sure if the stator is bad or if the battery is shot, once u put a good charge in the battery it runs like a champ

jeffb8074 · 12-17-2010, 05:59 PM

its a 96 so according to the manual the efi is battery powered, but its gotta have a stator to recharge and keep up right ??? the battery thats in is not the right one for the sled so it might not be keeping up either so any help is extremely apprecaited

**RJ Gleason** · 12-18-2010, 02:17 PM

If the battery is old (more than 3 years) replace it with the correct one.

Thank you Blaine for the most helpful information in your bypassing video. My 1990 Jag 440 is running like new again. We just got fresh snow last night here in Maine. Awesome. God Bless.

The last guy I helped from Maine offered me a steak and lobster dinner next time i was up that way. If I can get a guarenteed 2 dinners out of helping people...well I might just have to come on over for a visit!

ok thanks alot for the help

jeffb8074 · 01-25-2011, 09:23 PM

i tried it and it wouldnt rev over 4500 and then it would stall out and run like crap, i put it back to the way it was and it ran alot better, still not sure why that happened

kermo22 · 01-28-2011, 05:35 PM

Blaine - after watching your videos and reading posts, I'm optomistic I may solve the following problem:

1996 ZRT 600 will not kill (teather, key, or kill switch) when it's sub zero and been run on a long trip. In worst cases it also will not go over 4500 RPM.

Thinking it's electrical and either the TSS or kill switch. Do you agree?

A couple questions after watching your videos:
1) did you run the wire to keep the key switch or just use the stock harness differently?
2) same for the lights and gauges?

Blaine1 · 01-28-2011, 06:13 PM

Sled won’t shut off condition: I have seen a few things cause this. It is usually a bad ground/broken ground wire. Sometimes it is moisture in the connector. I had to disconnect my TSS/Kill switch the day my kill switch got moisture in it and my sled wouldn’t shut off. You could have a cdi with an internal short. Also, a bad stator can cause a sled to not shut off.

Great Video. My 2000 ZR500 when I unplugged the 3 prong it started. I see in your replies that 98 and newer are open ignition so I can leave unplugged. I am going to hook up the 2 wires for the Kill switch though as the kids drive this sled. Great post. Thanks.
