Rhino dead

Im think im gonna have a mental break down.... new stator same shi*. Still nothing, but when I bypass the solenoid now it will churn like no other. But no fire!? I needed to be on the road an hour ago im trying a few more things then i give up its goin to the mechanic then for sale.

Muddy have you tried to turn-over the motor, as suggested, by hand yet????? I think you're throwing parts at the wrong problem...........IMO..... EDIT-He musta got it fixed, he said he was "Headed-East"..

No, I talked to him on the phone, and his Rhino will still not start....just try and turn over. He's riding with me tomorrow.

yeah i brought it so if anybody wants to marvel and the wonder that is the unfixable rhino its here and maybe i can fix it here.

Damn thats frustrating to say the least,

best of luck

Dude nothings, "Un-fixable".............Corey, pull the cover, 2-mins, and see if it turns-over.......by hand.

Hey Jimbo, do you know what size socket the crankshaft nut is?
I am looking in my service manual for a 700, but are they the same on 660/700??

22 mm

What is turning it by hand gonna prove to you when it cranks with jumping the starter relay? Just don't know what your trying to prove by that!

So-Far, from what I've read.......It has not made a full revolution yet....

As much as it pains me to say it i think im just gonna have to drop it off at a shop..... only problem is there aren't any really around middle tn that i trust been screwed over too many times

finally gave in and took her to the shop. Thankfully one of my buddies is one of the mechanics there now so he got started on it asap. He believes i got a bad diode. Hes gonna install a new one and see what happens

Keep us up to date.

did you ever change the cdi box? i to lazy to go back and read 6 pages to find out

Some good info from one of our members...Wingman. This will help troubleshoot the Stator/Rectifier/Battery system.

"Disconnect charging lead from battery, connect small test lamp in series between lead and battery positive terminal. DO NOT START ENGINE. Test lamp should not light. If it does light, stator or rectifier is defective. Unplug rectifier. If test light goes out. The rectifier is shorted. If test light does not go out, stator is grounded. Stator should also be checked for continuity as follows: Use multimeter, set on resistance scale. Touch one test prod to positive lead. Touch other test prod to each of the other pins in the connector. Unless the meter shows continuity at each of the pins, the stator winding is open and the stator must be replaced.

If the rectifier is shorted it is creating a path to ground. Unplug the defective (shorted) rectifier and it will start from a charged battery. It just won't charge the battery."

I thought it was the starter ?????????

Well guys..... get ready. He finally chased down the electrical bug and it was my solenoid somehow?? He said it failed in a way he had never seen one before giving me the false readings it was. Thats good..... this isin't. My motor also has NO COMPRESSION The valves are fine and the chain is intact but has no compression. Hes taking the top end off for me to see exactly whats wrong then tell me and just let me build it or hes gonna do it.....Corey im eating my words that motor build might be happening reallll soon.

Not the starter or the stator, man....... Grab the pebble from my hand Grasshopper

Not you Muddy.
Sorry for your problems........
Sorry you threw-away un-needed bucks on parts you did'nt need. But hey, it was a good try.

no kidding... well im gonna resale the stock starter and stator on ebay. The stator wasnt a total bust considering all the electronics i had on mine it was bound to fail sooner or later so im glad i got an upgrade for it. At this point I dont care I just wanna ride.

I hear ya bro. Maybe, just maybe, the damage is'nt much more than a top-end job. Give you a reason to go 686............ If you need any help with parts that work, really work, PM me.

You got it bubba, im gonna see how extensive the damage is first but if its as bad as im afraid it is im gonna do high compression piston mudbuster cam and all the fixins with it.

I dont think duct tape and pink styrofoam will help in a motor rebuild
