2013 RMK PRO NO FUEL / NO SPARK

[Keith T.]

Hi gang, I will try to be short here…

2013 RMK PRO 163” – removed starter motor (it was shot – waiting on new one coming in) but left battery in place (hoping not to affect regulator…) – went to mountains – rode for one hour – stopped for break – ‘accidently’ used key to restart (obviously didn’t start…) – but then pulls didn’t work…absolutely dead now…no spark / no fuel…

Cleaned up my original starter motor (good to go…) put back in and now starter relay (just replaced last season…) is toast too…

Pulled tether switch and kill swits lines off - still nothing...

Talk to me…did I ‘eff’ the ECU by starting without key and not having the starter motor in place…??

Any thoughts insights are greatly appreciated !!

[sorry if this is posted wrong - my first post...]

Doubt it, I expect you have shorted something out causing the kill wire to be grounded or shorted the stator so no power is available. In this case you could have burned it or the voltage regulator. Any loose wires hanging?

you fried your ecu. jump the positive cables on the starter selenoid and see if it cranks.
if the starter cable was laying against the bulkhead when you turned the key it back feeds through the ign to the ecu.
zap. goodnight ecu.

Sorry, didn't see your reply... 'No' wires hanging...
Today I pulled plugs, kept them in boots and grounded them –

STATOR –
Disconnected 4pin plug coming from stator (2 BLK / 2 YEL).
Connected multimeter leads to the ‘2’ yellow leads: 0.01 Ohms resistance.
Kept two multimeter leads connected to ‘2’ yellow leads.
Turned sled over with booster pack at starter motor: 5.4 Volts AC…

REGULATOR –
Disconnected 3pin plug coming from regulator (RED / YEL / BRN).
Connected multimeter leads to BRN & RD: O/L Ohms
Cranked engine over again with booster pack: 0.00 Volts DC…

• Did I perform tests correct…?
• Do we agree the stator is at fault here…?
• If so, can stator be removed with engine in place…??

I think you did it right, I know the VR was fairly common problem. Mine went on my 2015.
