1200 SLX no Fire/battery backasswards

[twinstack1]

A battery installed backwards has rendered an SLX 1200 w/no fire. While spinning the motor over, the orange wire coming from the V/R shoud be reading some voltage to ignite the cdi right? I checked it and only got .1 volt

Have you checked the fuses in the electrical box?

[twinstack1]

Oh, yeah! Did all that first. Red/purple has 12v ect. I had trouble w/one a couple of years ago and ph2ocraft pointed me to the voltage regulator. I believe that this may be the same kind of situation. As i turn the motor over, i'm getting .1 volt. That's not enough (i believe) to excite the cdi.

YEP! I did it once on the Hurricane,.....
and fried the stator and cdi.

I got back to the 1200 last night. I removed the yellow stator wire from the terminal board. While cranking the motor over, I got point nothin from the stator. Looks like stator time.

Yah, and I bet your cdi is fubar'd also.
