I'm no expert, but with that much of a discrepancy in compression between the clutch and stator sides, I would say you've got a problem that can only be fixed by a teardown.  Will probably end up having to replace the clutch side piston (and possibly more).

Because using all caps is considered poor internet etiquette.  It is interpreted as shouting, and makes you look boorish.


ETA:  check with Frostbit about the Polaris 550 fanners.  I know they had issues, he would know more about it.

i'm new to this but this is what i would look for
1. take the spark plug out connect it in and put it to metal to make sure its has the same spark as the other side nothing less

2have you checked the fuel pump to make sure that its in running order.

if that all working let me know i have some more ideals

Well the mxz500 I'm glad you chimed in but the problem was solved.There was a broken piston skirt which caused the problem.All that you suggested where good ideas, but where the first things I checked.I also found that with 1100 miles that top end has already had one cylinder bored.Now I'm doing the other cylinder.Thank You  for your input.

Oh the PTO side jug was also broken at the skirt.The crank was good but while in there swapped out the bearings pretty much a new engine.
