Had a similar problem with my 185S. I trimmed the ends of the plug wire, checked all the wiring and found out it is a bad kill switch.

Probably Your Cdi

hello
how do i test the cdi?

[cajun66]

I wish I had a scanner. I have a trouble shooting and value table for the CDI , coil, pulse generator, and A.C. generator.

AC generator Lighting coil is good if there is continuity between the white/yellow wire and ground.
AC generator Exciter coil is good if there is continuity between the black/red wire and ground.

Primary coil resistance (tab to ground lug on coil)= 0.2-0.8ohm
Secondary coil ( Plug Wire to ground lug) resistance=8-15k-ohm

hello
thanks so much! so on my ohm meter i put my black wire on the body of coil and the red in the plug wire?

[cajun66]

The CDI is fully transisterized. My meter won't read my module (black box) correctly.

If You Have Any More Running Atcs Just Put The Cdi Off The Non Running Bike On A Running One,try To Start It Up,if It Doesnt Start Theres Your Problem,thats What I Always Do.

For the Primary test, test from the male wire plug and the closest mounting tab.
For the secondary test, test the other mounting tab to the end of the plug wire (with spark plug cap removed).

The plug cap has a resistor in it, but the book doesn't provide values for it either.

runaway, have you checked the stator to see if it is good? They are known to go bad in this style motor and there is a realitively cheap and easy fix. Here is a thread that may help: http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?p=465181&highlight=exciter+coil#post465181
