When I take out the plug, ground it, and crank over the engine I see a weak spark 1 time in 20.

I checked the wiring loom for breaks, and have replaced the coil. The ground is on the coil mounting bolt, right? I also disconnected the stop switch (I think)...black wire at the coil... |
Did you clean (by abrasive paper or similar) the mounting posts for the coil? The coil is grounded thru its mounting screws, and need a good ground connection to the frame. I had similar problems on my '06 200, although not that bad. It would always start, but sometimes it would not rev. I replaced the complete ignition and flywheel (but not the CDI), but I think it all came down to proper ground connections.
