hey guys. i recently brought my quad to my mechanic for him to fix it. well i called him today and he said that he had it running. he checked everything and it all checked out ok and sometimes he wouldnt get no spark then all of a sudden a good spark. he had it running for about 5 minutes and then he hit the ignition switch and it quit again. so he pulled that apart and check and it was all good. only thing he cant test is the balck box in the back but he says that never goes. so does anyone have a clue what could be wrong now since everything tested good and it ran? could it be a broken wire? he is going to check it out tomorrow and hopefully fix it. ima going to give him a call back tomrorow night and see what he figures. any oppinions on what you guys think it is would be very helpful. o ya when he had it running he said it was running super good and all that too. im glad that its nothing major anywyas. later

The black box is the CDI, and yes they do fail occaisonally. The easiest way to test that is to swap in a known working one, but from my experience they usually work or don't, it will either run or not even start. Intermittant spark probs are a bitch, yes it could be a loose or broken wire, or the stator...tou could check out the Electrical FAQ below, might help. Good luck.
