Need Help With Ranger

I took the plug out, put the plug wire back on, cranked it over and saw no spark. Should I? Also should I not see fuel being pumped through the clear hoses? Still can not get her started.

To check the plug do as you did but you'll have to ground the plug to the engine also. Just hold the plug so the threaded part of the plug contacts something metal on the engine. You should see a blue spark.

I did as you said with the plug, grounded it, cranked and saw the spark. Where do I turn to now?

Crank it over a few times and take the spark plug out. If the plug is bone dry, you aren't getting any fuel. Another thing you might try is take the plug out and squirt a few drops of gas into the spark plug hole. Put the plug back in and crank it. If it tries to start, it's a fuel problem. An eyedropper works good for this.

I believe its just new with the 500cc engine, but the 700 cc XP is EFI and came out in 2005.

no i'm talkin about on the side of the carberator there is a solenoid i messed up and called it a plug . but anyway if you have one and one way to test it is to
1.. pull the spark plug wire off the spark plug and turn the engine over a few times then take the plug out if it'd dry you ain't gettin no fuel(duh) i know.

2 .. look on the side of your carberator and see if there is a solenoid with a wire runnin to it if so take it out and iether hold your finger over the hole or get a bolt and put in it . then try to start your engine if it starts there is your problem. the solenoid should be on the bottom of the carb bowl or on the side of the carb bowl.
