Is the
Engine grounded with a grounding strap?
As far as fuel is the pulse line secure on both ends?
Please post some pictures of your machine. Would love to see it and we can tell a lot from photos.
Don't get caught up in the mysterious black box. Keep it simple. Not very often a
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) goes bad.
Keep in mind this is old school 2 cycle. The oil is in the fuel. Do not use starting fluid and if you prime it make sure you use premix.
Let's start there, I bet you will get this machine running.

New owner to atv of any sort. I have an 83 Odyssey with electric start I got from a friend. Said it ran when parked. My boys and I tore it apart, restored about 90% of it. Assembled it, but no start. We bought a new coil, but not the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) box. There is power to the black wire going to coil when cranking. No fuel in any of the lines. Tank was properly cleaned, tank reservoir switch was cleaned, fuel pump cleaned, check valves cleaned and tested....but no fuel getting pumped into carb. Before I tested spark, we put fuel into carb but no start. Going to rebuild pump, but had a question in regards to spark. Any help? New coil, new plug, new wire...
Welcome sort of new guy.
1) What rmesser said.
2) In my opinion just fkn throw the old fuel pump away and buy a one from Polaris #3085275.
3) Make sure all ground wires have a clean connection (no paint under it). You might have to trace your power starting at battery and working all the way to the coil. Highly unlikely it's the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition).
4) Do you have a manual ?? You can get a free pdf download from here:
https://oddatv.com/wp-content/uploads/2 ... Manual.pdf It takes a minute to load sometimes. By the way you can get parts from oddatv.
5) This is a two stroke so you MUST pressure test that Engine to verify you got no air leaks.
