Which Polaris models does this ignition kit fit?

This kit is compatible with Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 models produced from 1996 through 2001. Fitment covers standard and high-output (HO) variants as well as specific special editions listed by model year. Always compare your ATV’s OEM part numbers and connector style to the product images before ordering.

How do these components improve starting and performance?

The ignition coil amplifies battery voltage to create a strong spark; the CDI box controls ignition timing electronically; and the spark plug converts that energy into combustion. Replacing worn or damaged units often eliminates weak spark, hard starting, and uneven idle without other engine work. Properly matched parts help maintain consistent timing and spark intensity under load.

• Stronger, more consistent spark for improved ignition reliability
• CDI replacement restores correct electronic timing behavior
• Included spark plug ensures correct gap and electrode condition

What should I check before buying and during installation?

Confirm your ATV’s year, model and OEM part numbers against the product listing. Inspect plug wire connectors, mounting points and the CDI plug type to ensure the kit will install without modifications. Follow standard safety steps—disconnect the battery and ground the frame—before any ignition work.

• Verify part numbers: 3085228 (manufacturer) and replacement 3085564
• Compare connector shapes and mounting bolt positions with photos
• Use basic hand tools and observe polarity and torque specs during install
