Always assemble your engine at TDC on the compression stroke...

its either the voltage regulator (most likely) or the stator. you'll need a service manual to check the stator output.

Hi Brian, get a digital volt meter and start the ATV measure the voltage at the battery or at the alternator it should read around 14 volts when charging, if it reads 12 volts the charging system is not working, check or a blown fuse or broken wire, if you can access the alternator directly measure at that point. It takes 14 volt output from the alternator to charge a 12 volt battery

turn the idle down? choke could be stuck too.

Check fuses first, then go from there to ignition system. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/chris_b82b45c59bcf133d
