Thanks, but I did check that as well. Not sure how that switch works though. Maybe it is faulty and denies spark?

LIKE 200i / 200i Like won't start
« on: October 15, 2015, 11:54:20 PM »
Hello,
I recently bought a used 2013 200i for my wife from a lady who only rode it a few times and it had 50 miles on it. We have not had any problems with it until just recently. It currently has about 500 miles on it. It won't start. As I think back, it has never really started easily. It always took a few presses on the ignition and sometimes more than a few to turn over. I have charged/tested the battery and it is good. I tested for spark at the plug and I do not have any spark as far as I can tell. I checked/removed and refastened the cable and tested for continuity. It checks out OK.
I am generally handy and definitely good at following directions with pictures! Does anyone have any ideas about my next step in troubleshooting. Do I check the coil next? I also found the service manual online and am currently reading through it for ideas. It just seems like it would be something simple as opposed to a bad component given the low mileage, but who knows.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Jim
