Well I had my pilot out for about 2-3hrs today and I I brought it into my garage to change out tires and once I got the tires changed out I was going to run it again but it wouldn't start..so I started going through EVERYTHING!! (When I turn the key on in the pilot the dash turns on and the lights work but when I hit the starter button nothing happens, so I just a crossed the seliniod and I got it to crank but it has not spark)...i tested my c.d.i, iginition coil, the thing to the right of the iginition coil (sorry I have no idea wht it's called) all those things tested out well


WHAT I HAVE SOO FAR BESIDES TESTING THAT STUFF I NOTED ABOVE...
I also took the dash off and sprayed electrod cleaner on the kill switch and the starter button and in all the connections on the steering column...someone please help me out

Did you check the neutral safety switch on the tranny? If your standing behind the pilot on the left side of the tranny are 2 wires with rubber boots one bolts on and one is a push on connector the push on one comes loose all the time, turn your key on and wiggle the wires and see if the lights on the dash come on and off.

Also make sure it's in neutral and the green light is on on the dash.

wiggle your shifter in and out of gear. I know your light is on but might work

Wow that is crazy. With all your lights on your switch only killed power to the starter and ignition. Ill make sure to add this to my check list when trouble shooting problems in the future. Thanks for finding this out :-)
