First off, let me say howdy, and what a hell of a cool board to run across. Man, there's some usefull stuff here.
Second, I'm having two problems with my 85 Honda 200.
Number one, I'm trying to identify just what model I have, whether it's the 200M or the 200S. I think it's an "S", but I'm not sure. What's the easiest way to tell (shows just what I know about these things, huh? :) ).
Number two, I have no spark. Now, I've check continuity between the secondary winding of the coil to ground, and I found no path to ground. But when I but my meter on the primary tab on the coil and then touch a ground, I'm getting a very low (0.3) resistance reading. Shouldn't the primary have more resistace to ground than that?
Also, I'd like to check out the CDI to spec, but I can't find a reference anywhere on the net. To save me a trip to Baton Rouge just to get a Clymer book, can someone tell me what to test on the CDI? All I can say right now is that the CDI is not the same as the ones that comes on the 250s. I know the bike I have is an 85 200cc, but that's all.
Thanks for any help.
Check back with ya'll this evening...
