try starting fluid!!!! if it still doesnt start.. it electrical!! not fuel related.. if its electrical, double check the woodruff (spelling) key is in the cam where the cdi is.. I bought a 85 200x with a fresh bore & in decent shape for $50.00-all because they guy who tried to rebuild it forgot to put the key in the cam & couldn't get it started: you see, the cdi determines the bike's ignition timing... there's a bolt on the cdi mechanical advance so you can tighten it down & it appears to be ok, but without the key on the cam the advancer thing will get out of timing very easily... & your bike will never run..

I guess check the timing again like said before. Turn the flywheel by hand (counter-clockwise) until you see the intake valve go in and out, then keep turning it until you get to the line with the 'o' above it (left of the 'T'). That should put you at top of the compression stroke ready for fire. The 'O' on the cam sprocket should be lined up with the index mark on the valve cover at this point also.
On the stator, there is an index punch mark on the front piece (no springs) and the piece closer to the CDI body? (not the cover). If the punch marks are lined up, you're good with that piece (be sure it's not too far to the right. It will spring right if you twist it left. Just twist it left enough until it has resistance). Slide that on with the dowel pin in the groove and put that little 10mm bolt and washer on and torque it down.
Now turn the flywheel by hand (counter-clockwise) until you get to the line with the 'o' above it to the left of the 'F'. Put the pulse generator on and line up the index mark on the black box up with the line on the stator.
My flywheel would kind of go 'limp' at the top and roll over and the 'T' would not be visible. I just used two zip-ties to apply equal pull on each side to hold at the 'T' and 'F' marks. You can put the left and right pull start cover bolts in their holes and use that to tension the flywheel with the zip ties.
Because if you have on the 'T' and are seeing light through the plug hole, you're either at the bottom of the Intake or Power stroke.
I think I remember you saying you had fire and fuel, so that only leaves so many things to check.
But if you didn't take the cam out and it was running before you replaced the dowel pin, I would expect the 'O' mark to be 180 degrees from the index mark on the valve cover if it was off that much, right?
