2006 EC200 ignition fault diagnosis

Thanks Anders ! Very much appreciated ! I would have taken a very long time to find that information. The depth of knowledge on GasGas Riders is impressive as ever.

Hopefully rewiring will be the solution to this problem.

For posterity, the JAE Electronics part numbers for the 2k3 cdi multipin connector on the '06 EC:

CONN SOCKET HOUSING MX23A18SF1
CONN FRONT CAP 18POS SOCKET HSNG MX23A18XF1
CONN DUMMYPIN FOR MX23A SERIES M120-55780
CONN SOCKET 16-22AWG CRIMP MX23A M23S05K351

I have replaced the dubious wires from the cdi to the coil / earth / kill switch and also replaced the ht lead and plug cap. The spark is now noticeably stronger. However, there is still a problem starting from cold. I have found a routine which overcomes this:

fuel on > fill bowl (lectron visual check) > fuel off > choke on > kick until starts > fuel on > choke off

If I don't switch the fuel off, it will not start. If I follow the routine, it starts from cold easily and starts and runs great. I suspect the fuel level creeps up in the lectron bowl if I kick it over many times without start, whether this is enough to flood the engine, not so sure. I did find one report of swarf from the slide / tickover screw finding its way to the float valve. I'm hesitant to attribute blame to the lectron because the bike is old and there could be other problems to be found.

Hope that's the end of this problem, having missed several rides because of it

Rode for a few hours at the weekend with no problems, so hopefully the issue is resolved.
