Honda atc 200 problems

one thing i did ws i accidently had the peice with the magnet that rotates and signals the pickup that it's time to fire was it was 180 out. yes i can be 180 out.

check that first before you do anything further. set the timming to be exactly tdc, next, install the cdi parts. ensure the pick and the rotation rotor lines are ligned up exactly. pointing at eachother.

this could be the issue.

also did you clean the carb? if it sits for long peroids of itme, it coudl have tarnish and buildup in it.

180 out would not keep it from sparking

I have a 1983 Honda 200E that I recently purchased. It started fine when I went to look at it although the owner stated that he sometimes had to "tap" on the CDI module to get it to start. I rode it, loaded it and brought it home, it started fine. I rode it around the yard, my son rode it and I was sitting still, idling and it started reving up as if out of gas. I cut it off at the key and it hasn't started since. Please help!!! I have since replaced the CDI module but still no power at the plug wire. I'm not reall good on electrical (not good at all actually) and I cannot find a good electrical trouble shooting guide for this bike. I suspect possibly the pulse generator but not sure.
