Help On 200x Motor Troubles

[200xadam]

would it be possible for me to put an entire 200s wireing harness on the x motor..? i have a complete s motor and i tried putting the s cdi box on it but it didnt work but could i put the wireing harness from the s on it?, just to see if my coil or something is my problem??

I would have to say no since the test specs are probably different between the two...I will check tomorrow when I get home from work, just for reference what year is the 200X and what year is the 200S? I'll need to know for cross reference.

I am pretty sure you can't use the S coil on the X though and that would mean that you couldn't use the entire S wiring harness if I'm correct.

The ohms test for the X coil is as follows;

Take the coil off the trike and test with multi-meter set for ohms.

1 lead to mounting hole, other lead to spade terminal= 0.2-0.8 ohms of resistance
1 lead to mounting hole, other lead to plug wire boot= 8-15k ohms of resistance

If you coil tests within these specs the coil is GOOD.

Heres the rest of the electrical tests for the 84-85 200X, if you need the specs for a 83 let me know(only the CDI test is different)

Check with ohm meter

Alternator test
black/red wire to CDI engine cover is normal if there is continuity and 100-400 ohms of resistance
************************************************
pulse generator (behind CDI engine cover) test
blue/yellow and green wires 50-150 ohms

also make sure the spark advancer behind the CDI engine cover moves freely.
************************************************
CDI test with ohms tester

You will have to note the cover of the wires on the connectors and test the CDI spade terminals as if they were color coded the same as the wires. Don't know how else to explain this.

First color listed is for the positive wire of the tester.
BLK TO GRN=.5-100
BLK TO BLK/RED=.2-20
BLK TO GRN=.5-100
BLK TO BLUE/YEL=5-200
BLK TO BLK/YELLOW=CONT

GRN TO BLK=CONT
GRN TO BLK/RED=CONT
GRN TO BLUE/YELLOW= .5-100
GRN TO BLK/YELLOW=CONT

BLK/RED TO BLK=CONT
BLK/RED TO GRN=.2-20
BLK/RED TO GRN=.2-20
BLK/RED TO BLUE/YELLOW=2-100
BLK/RED TO BLK/YELLOW=CONT

GRN TO BLK=CONT
GRN TO BLK/RED=CONT
GRN TO BLUE/YELLOW= .5-100
GRN TO BLK/YELLOW=CONT

And finally positive lead to blue/yellow and negative to every other terminal should have continuity.

And positive lead to blk/yellow and negative to every other terminal should have continuity.

Yes thats a whole lot of testing for a little CDI!

Good luck

what is the spark advancor becase i might have that held down or something?? im really out of ideas now man and im about to the point of giving up nothing makes this thing work, im goona try n buy a used wireing harness for cheap that someone knows is good just to make sure

Its under the cover marked CDI, the advancer is the center thing, you should be able to move it freely left and right a little bit. There should also be 0.014-0.020" air gap between that and the black rectangular box above it when the marks line up.
