no. i know that it is my coil wire. i swaped one off one of the other trikes and it runs great.

I can't speak for the 200X but both of my ATCs use a regular copper core plug wire.

What did you swap off the other machine? Just the wire or the whole coil/wire assy? Have you tried another coil, spark plug, or cap?

i just swapped the coil wire. i know that is what it is, im just having trouble finding the right kind of coil wire to put back on it.

Just go to an ATV/snowmachine dealer and ask for some spark plug wire, they should have the right stuff.
