No Spark Gator 6x4

[mygoatboy]

I am borrowing a Gator 6x4 gas, mid 1990's model with the Kawasaki V-Twin, and it died (I hate borrowing equipment just for this reason) and will not start back up for me. The carb is getting fuel all of the time and it is new gas. I had the dealer test both coils and they said they both tested out good. The coils are getting the 12v feed whenever I turn the key on but they just are not sending out a spark. I am not exactly sure how the sparked is timed but I am assuming that the magnets on the flywheel and sensors mounted above the flywheel open the circuit in the coil allowing it to arc when it hits the proper location. It actually died several times on me but would eventually start up again but not this time. I have checked all of the electrical connections for moisture and that does not seem to be the problem, I even set up a small heater underneath the Gator to help bake out moisture. Any help figuring out this problem would be great.

Thanks,
Daniel

check the pickup coil on the flywheel mine went out and thats what it did. i think some peopl call them diferent names but it's mounted to the engine and it makes the conection when the flywheel turns when it goes bad you loose all spark .

That is what I was thinking it was. Mine has the two pickups mounted above the flywheel and then a raised section on the flywheel that must open or close those pickups. The dealer said $73 for those two pickups! Expensive for 2 ounces of plastic and metal. There is not supposed to be a magnet or anything else on the flywheel besides the raised section is there?
