84 200es loses spark
#11
For what it's worth, I have a 200X that has been doing the same thing. I finally chased it down to a bad ground. Under the light and kill switch there is a little tab thhat touches the handle bars for a ground for the kill switch. There was rust on the bars and switch. I just took some sand paper and sanded the tab and the bars down to metal. Now it starts just fine. No more problems. Good luck and enjoy. Jim

The way I read the wiring diagram the ground goes to the CDI. If it is not grounded the the CDI will not work. You just don't want it to connect to the black wire which is the KILL wire. The grounding to the handle bars on mine made a little contact sometimes. Would work 1 or 2 days then nothing. I'm still learning too. Only took me 2 years to figure this one out.
Good luck. Jim
