electrical problems ( still)

[woodn1]

Does anyone know where the ground to frame is located on the Helix?   I have a starting problem and think it is caused by a corroded ground, somewhere.   My bike won't fire.  I can wiggle the green wire at the CDI connector, and it will start.   I have changed the CDI box ( I now have a total of 3 CDI boxes), pulse generator, stator, and spliced in a different connector plug at the CDI unit, but still have the same problem.   After wiggling the wire, the bike may run fine for an hour , a day, or 6 months, but the same problem keeps reoccuring.  If I unplug the wires from the CDI box and plug them into another CDI box, the bike will start.  Any manner of moving those wires and the bike starts right up.   

I have thought this problem was fixed several times ( I have previous posts, describing my fixes, but they never worked long term!)
I am baffled!   Does anyone have any ideas about this problem?    I have tried to check the wires with an ohm meter, but the minute I move the wires, the bike starts and everything checks out ok.   When the bike is not fireing, and I try to check the wires, I can't get a good reading on them without moving them.

I have been fighting this problem for over a year now!

Hi, I am also having the same problem, my scooter started acting up 3 montha ago, I checked the spark, It only fire after you let the start button go. All of the sudden it started up about a week ago and ran fine. Last night it decided it does not want to start. I checked the spark now it only fires when I let the start button go and then no spark at all. I thought about replacing the CDI module, Since I am not too sure that the CDI module is bad, I do not want to spend money on it. I was wondering about if you would sell me one of your CDI modules cheap.

Hello
Was this problem ever fixed and if so what happened?

Nope, never got it fixed, Helix still sitting in the garage. I just started to take the body panels apart to replace the wiring harness I bought from Craigslist. See what happen, I will have to buy a new CDI module it has rounded connectors.

If you beleive that a bad ground is occuring have you tried to install an extra ground wire.
If not try it.
Go from the battery to a solid, clean surface on the frame. This may seem like overkill but it may help.
