2000 Z370 Artic Cat in Northern Michigan - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

Hello, everyone. I'm looking for some help for my 2000 Z370 artic cat. I can't get it started. It's getting gas in the plugs, but I don't think the plugs are sparking. The motor turns over, but it just won't start. Any suggestions?

thanks,

mattimis

Start off simple, check compression, should be like 125 or higher, and within 10% of eachother

Kill Switch? Key

Get an inline spark tester to be sure it has no spark.

Could be just flooded too.
Leave the plugs out and the switch off and hold throttle wide open and pull till no more mist comes out of the plug holes. Then put new plugs in only one thread deep and attach the wires and turn on the key. Pull it over and it should "bang" which will blow out the rest of the raw gas. It should then start right up.
If it doesn't, there is another issue with it.

Did you change the spark plugs?
