Shocking issue ATC110

[Micahdogg]

All good info. I'll probably start with replacing the scabby plug boot - where do I find an NGK rubber boot? Is there a specific part number people are using?

As for the kill switch, one of the 79's doesn't even have one (wires are tied up). You have to pull the choke and stab the throttle for the "Kill switch." The wires are tied up pretty well down by the frame.

The kill switch just completes a ground. I had this issue once also,it ended up being a bare wire to the headlight touching the handlebars.

I got slammed just last week wiggling wires on the sx headlight.
Felt like a spark but was more likely the AC voltage coming out of the
stator on it's way to the regulator.
Not the same machine, I know, but that ac jolt was quite impressive.

I had a 1973 Skidoo Olympique back in the day that would zap the hell out of you thru the handlebars. That turned out to be a faulty ground wire.

Definitely a bad plug boot or ground!

The NGK plug boots can be found on eBay, thats where i usually buy them, not that expensive.

I know this is old but we were trying to pull my 185s off after a rebuild and i had just twisted the wires coming from the stator to the harness and left them bare(ya know just to make sure it ran), reached down to choke it while he pulled me in 3rd gear pegged out and bumped those wires, i know exactly how that feels. My arm hurt for 3 days afterward.

And any luck solving this problem?
