On the stator cover on the right side of the engine. Their will be a 9/16" bolt at the top of the housing, which is your timing hole.
yes for continuity
i had the same exact problem with my 2001 polaris sportsman 400. It is either your voltage regulator or your stator. With your ATV running disconnect the positive terminal on your battery. IF the ATV quits instantly then its probably your stator.
Remove the starter cables. Remove the starter retaining bolts. The starter will come off. Reverse the process to install the new starter.
with batteries and a knife
With a mutimeter test between each lead (usually yellow in color), the reading should be approximately one (1) ohm. or close.
An electric motor has a stator and a rotor. The stator does not move. The rotor rotates inside the stator.
if you're sure the computer is good then it could be your coil(s) or stator. 315-964-2577
