People s200 / No spark, no start
« on: February 18, 2012, 06:22:59 PM »
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and fairly new to scooting, too. I bought an '09 S200 in the fall, and my wife and I have been having a great time riding. A couple of weeks ago, I had it out all day (been a pretty warm winter up here in the northeast) and she ran great. Put on quite a few miles. Took it to a meeting at the church in the evening. Came out about an hour later, and the engine would turn over, but not fire. Have since taken the body off to look at/change the spark plug, but have found it gets no spark.
How do I test CDI, coil, to find the source of the "no spark"? I don't want to just throw parts at this, and I don't have a lot of diagnostic tools, either. What do I need? What is the easiest and least expensive way to diagnose and fix my scoot?
I apologise if this is a common or much discussed topic. Maybe someone could share some links that I haven't been able to find yet. Part of my problem could be not knowing what to ask...
Warm weathers coming. I appreciate your help and expertise.
Thanks.
