Default Please help with 94 400L loosing spark

I have a 94 Poloris 400L 4x4. I bought it a few years ago but I have yet to get all of the bugs completely worked out. Two years ago I replaced the Ignition switch and the CDI. It wouldn't shut off unless I turned the fuel off. Once I got that fixed it starts, runs, and excelerates fine, but now when I let off the throttle it looses spark. I thought it was a float issue untill last night I finally decided to see if I was loosing spark when it dies and it is. If I rev it up and let off really slow then it will idle down fine, but if I let off the throttle as in riding it losses spark everytime. It will start right back up without hesitation. I cleaned the stator connections behind the flywheel as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Rusty

could check throttle control on handlebar, make sure you have 1/8" gap.
test coil wire and cap

Default Thanks for the help!

It ended up being one of the "Black" wires that also connects to the CDI. It took me long enough to figure it out, but I rode it around most of the evening just incase. It is working like a champ now!
