88 Cr 250 Cdi

Hey guys I had a previous post about my 88 CR 250 not starting. I traced the weak and non-consistent spark problem to a bad coil. Thats been replaced and spark looks good but the bike still will not start. He tested the flywheel, pulse generator, and stator, and all are good. He believes the problem is the CDI box, which is allowing the plug to spark, but still not right for some reason. I need to know where I can find one of these, there isnt any on *the auction site* but I need one asap. I'm all out of ideas. I had the carb professionally rebuilt and jet settings checked, compression is great (around 130), I repacked the muffler. I dont know what else it could be. WHen kicked the bike will backfire but never start. Any ideas where I can find a good used CDI for an 88 cr250!!???
Thanks, Evan

what is 'motosport', do they have a website? They still make brand new CDI's for that old of bikes? I found one e*b*a*y but i'm not positive it will fit my 88. How do I tell?

I was acutally thinking about this before, and it could be flooded really bad with alot of gas down in the crank from all the kicking w/ no spark. How do I blow it out? Will towing it with the choke off and throttle open help to clear it? Should I do that for awhile, then try to bump start it from being towed? Can you give me some more info on this, and i'll definitely give it a shot before buying that CDI. thanks!!

ok ive got some updates on the bike. i took it to my neighbor who is a retired professional motorcycle mechanic. I replaced the coil with a stock coil off an 89 CR250, and am getting a strong consistent spark. We took off the flywheel, the woodruff key is in perfect shape. The stator measures perfectly within specs. The kill switch is fine. He though the bike may be flooded from all the previous starting attempts with no spark. I towed the bike behind my bros truck w/ the plug out, hoping to clear out any accumulated gas. We then repalced theh plug, and towing the bike, tried to bump start it. Again, I get a backfire, but no sputtering, no starting. The mechanic belives the problem lies with the CDI, which is affecting the timing. There is timing marks on the stator and the engine case, which are lined up perfectly. The timing procedure in my shop manual requires the engine to be running to check it w/ a timing light, so I can't check that to be sure. Could this problem lie in the CDI? Does anyone know if an 89 CDI will fit the 88 bike? I know mine has 2 molded 2 wire connectors, and the 89 has 1 molded 2 wire connectors and 2 individual (not molded into 1 plug) connector, but I'm assuming they're the same function. The bike is currently for sale now, as even when I get it running I'm selling it to buy a new bike to cut way down on maintenance. Thanks again guys
