Product Overview
Intermittent spark, an engine that shuts off hot, weak ignition timing, or a no-start with fuel and compression can put the CDI module under suspicion. It should be replaced only after the stator, pickup coil, ignition coil, grounds, stop circuit, connectors, and spark plug have been tested.
This module is built around the 3087169 interchange used on select carbureted Polaris 500 models. Polaris changed ignition systems within the same model name, so compare every connector, wire position, original number, year, and submodel before plugging it in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a bad CDI make the engine die when hot? A: Yes, but the stator, pickup, coil, stop switch, and wiring can cause the same behavior.
Q: Will this fit every Sportsman 500? A: No. Only select years and carbureted ignition layouts use 3087169.
Q: Why is matching the connector not enough? A: Modules can share a connector shape but use different pin assignments and ignition curves.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
