I've got an 87 250X with the following mods: bored oversize, Wiseco 11:1 piston,Web cam, ported/shaved head,400EX carb, DG race exhaust, K&N air filter, aftermarket CDI box. The problem I'm having is that the engine has become difficult to start, fouls plugs, sometimes won't start at all (no spark), and today it died on a trail ride and would not start back. Sometimes when it does the no spark thing, if you leave it alone a day or two, it fires right up and runs great. When we first built it, it would fire up on the first or second kick. Now it takes forever. I have swapped out the CDI box and it does the same thing. I just bought a new box and it did'nt fix a thing. I don't know if it's the magneto or the coil or something else. The reverse switch checked out fine. I bypassed the run/stop switch when we first built it and put a CR kill switch on it so that's not the problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?
I have been impressed with the level of knowlege on this board so I am hoping someone can help. Just once I would like to be able to go riding and not have to be towed back home!!
Thanks,
Steve
