New member here with a tough one for you guys. So, here is my situation. This fall I took my sherpa up to camp and forgot the key. My buddy and I tried to hot wire it (yes, a dumb move, except it briefly started up once for a few seconds but that was it), in that process I broke the original ignition, the battery had died and we tried jump starting the bike off a car battery with no success.
I have now gotten a new ignition and a new CDI unit from kawasaki, both are installed and I'm getting spark to the spark plug but it won't start. I tried starter fluid spray and still nothing. Another possible factor is that I am in Maine and it is cold here (40 today) and it has been sitting since September. I am afraid maybe we blew something when we tried to jump start it? The fuses in the black plastic are all good and I have tested most everything I can think of with everything being in working condition including the starter switch, kick stand switch, the ignition coil and pick up coil.
The bike had been on a 150 mile ride the day before we took it up to camp and it ran like a top.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to troubleshoot this to try to get my beloved sherpa up and running?
Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Did you ever get the problem resolved??? I think I'm having a similar issue... everything I can think of is good. its gotta be electrical somewhere but idk what.
