Troubleshooting No Spark Honda ATC200, restoring the OEM CDI system.,

[@edwardhill1739]

I just want to say thank you Harvey spooner. Your videos have helped me so many times fix mine and my kids atcs. Your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@edwardhill1739]

Man I wish Harvey lived in my town. I sure could use your help on a 85 200s I got for my kid. No spark. But I will use this video to help me fix it. Thank you for your very helpful videos.

[@doughunter-p8z]

thanks for sharing friend ...electrical advice is VERY difficult to find...i have at least 3 vehicles sitting because this type of info is so hard to find (and because of unnecessary complication or just poor design)...Creator bless...doug

[@jakeerickson7532]

Thanks for the help. Very informative video, keep on making them, appreciate the information.

[@Madscientist9898]

Great video was very helpful to me troubleshooting. An idea for you if you want to use the cdi with built in advance curve just lock the mechanical advance and set your base timing somewhere that would be reasonable for total timing with the cdi built in advance

The ole no suspension 82 lol my first 3 wheeler dad bought it used in 94 i ran it for years still running good when i sold it to my cousin

[@crunchybacon25]

Hey man great video!! I have checked everything in this video along with bench tested my coil and they were perfect! Still no spark, so I’m stumped I don’t know what’s next??

[@fan1701]

I like that machine. That stick shifter would have to go! Lol! Hope we get to go for a ride on it too. It just wants to be whole again and I know you feel the tug to make it that way. Have a great day!

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Fan!!! It is a cool machine, stay tuned for a ride video!!! The shifter is in the way for sure!!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

@@HarveySpooner can you use a DC cdi box to make a ytm 80cc run

[@shaunsavage1726]

I am having issues with my timing advance on my atc200. I am going to put points condenser on it. Hate the timing advance gonna take it out.

[@rmm0315]

Can you do how to check the engine coil for the spark plug?

[@roadkillsf.f.cgarage386]

Great video love that 200 my son and I just picked up a 200m that looks a lot like my 200 with the exception of his having a starter, mines an 81 not sure of the year in his but I'm thinking 81 or 82

[@deanahigley6203]

I have a 1982 Honda big red 200 with no spark .When trying to buy a new 6 pin CDI box ,I couldn't find one for1982 just 83 and and would one from 83 be compatible as long as it's a 200

[@Tuber359]

Thanks for all your vids I watch them every time I have problems with the trike. I have a 1984 200s no spark right now. With my amp meter I have prower coming out until I bolt it up to the frame ?? Puzzled... going to do your tests and See what happens

[@anthonyarroyo7425]

Dodge12valve you either cross grounded a hot wire or a wire is being pinched / cut

[@Tuber359]

Anthony Arroyo turns out it was the stator. Wasn’t making enough power. She’s running now, thanks anyway.

[@jimcullen543]

Hi Harvey do u have any videos to adjust or fix the decompression lever on a 200s?

[@adamsmith6779]

Any idea why after wiring a whole new harness on a 110cc coolster the starter will start cranking on its own when connecting battery terminal without touching start switch or even being on on position?? And of coarse it doesn't actually start or have spark

[@luiserodriguez3409]

Can you make a video how to connected all wires from the beginning?

[@danieldeutschmann9935]

Hi Harvey could u post up a video of tdc and cdi marking as im having trouble with what seems like the motor rolling backwards and snapping the pull start cheers

[@Blackard01]

Question? If your coil is new, sparkplug is new, pulse generator and advance sparker is working, stator is working, and when i was probing the connector to the cdi box electricity is going into it but im not getting a spark. So is my cdi box bad? BTW my 3 wheeler is a 1984 200x and it has 2 connectors for the cdi box.

[@lyndonnelson31]

Hey Harvey, I'm just wondering if it matters what ecu I use on it as there is a whole kit for a 50cc pitbike with the same looking ecu as apposed to 108 just for the cdi box

[@JimBobZee]

Hi Harvey, Maybe the terminals on the old CDI are tarnished and need to be cleaned up just like on a commutator that tarnishes from non use?

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey James, I think I was given the wrong CDI for the ATC200, it is too big, I'm thinking it is off an ATC125 as there were a load of spares from one mixed in with the deal.... I marked it and will hold on to it for now.... The contacts looked ok, there was a lot of contact grease on all the connectors.... Thanks for Ur thoughts, suggestions, watching, and commenting!!!

[@patrickkalakaua]

I'm working on a suzuki 50 ltz I need help wiring it up from scratch would you be able to guide me if so let me know thanks 🙏

[@thepyrodude]

That's why i buy the cdi box with the adujustable advance when i get the cheap Chinese ones you can tune the advance on the box to match the engines timing needs.....some times you can put those cdi boxes in an oven on a low temp and bring them back to life had pretty good success with the old yamaha cdi boxes that didnt work.....but i ive never bake a plastic in cased one like the hondas

[@1970chevy07]

Another great video😀

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey 1970chevy07, I hope this helps keep a few more ATCs on the road.... Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

[@MegaBlonde30]

hi Harvey I have a 88 Honda fourtrax 300 4x4 I replaced the stator and pulse generator do to no spark it ran great for a couple days after now I have the same issue no spark I didn't replace the gasket witch I think is bad I was wondering what u think if a bad gasket will cause that to get no spark I can replace the stator generator again but need to figure out why this is happening any input will be greatly appreciated ty very much

[@raymondyork9341]

didnt you say that the cdi box checked out ok?then you changed the cdi box and it got spark.im confused

[@TWISTEDBOSSS11]

I have around 275 ohms on my black and red and around 44v ac on it is that a bad exciter I can’t get any spark 200es big red

[@ludvigtande1236]

Thanks Harvey. Enjoyed.

[@keithparady2594]

So I tried doing doing that with the plug and it’s just spark intermittently and will fire right up but then dies after like 30 seconds and the thing is it ran awesome just a month ago before I put one of those junk carbs on it and once it’s running it’s like every few pulls it will start it’s driving me nuts

[@jcherbert1]

Any advice on a no spark issue with a Hisun Utv 500? The primary coil has been replaced, stator & trigger, cdi, spark plug, rectifier since it ohm'd out bad and now I have a new ignition switch due to arrive. I've removed & reinstalled the wiring harness since I couldn't find any obvious issue with it.

[@dragos4253]

Harvey, Great video, Do you know when Honda went to the cdi system, and gave up on points ? I kinda like the shift stick, but in the rough, I wonder if it will have enough leverage to shift it's self? Just curious!! Hope you ride it once with the shifter and let us know how it was. GOOD TIMES!!!

[@Donny_Buysall]

Dragos 4 i dont know about all hondas but generally for these smaller air cooled motors 81 and up are CDI

[@dragos4253]

Thank you!!

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Bro!!!! The old ATC70s and ATC90s had points, I think the ATC185 ant atc200 came out with CDI in 1980.... So, it is more model related, when the new models came out around 1980, they came out with CDI, the stick shift is in the way of my leg position, it may need to be re bent into a better place.... Thanks for Ur encouragement, thoughts, questions, watching, and commenting!!!

[@billcarter499]

This video is very informative. Thank you

[@michaelcox8891]

Can you use !a DC cdi box to make a ytm80cc spark

[@shaunsavage1726]

My 82 atc200 is not getting fire. I am about to swap in 200e engine

[@tylerhoward5967]

I have a 1984 Honda three wheeler just like that do you have any way to get it started with a 6 wire Cdi

[@anthonyarroyo7425]

Tyler Howard a 6 wire as in a moped cdi? Message me I may be able to help you

[@keithparady2594]

I even did the jumper out of the cdi for the ground

[@melanielagacy5953]

I got power out of the magneto but nothin in the plug coil. Not shore if its the Chinese CDI i got for my 84 200es but tryin to see ( have 83 200e cdi that works if i could rig that up) thanks

[@rogeroconnor5182]
