Check out Craigs List and E Bay. Hopefully you will find one there. Another possibility is a bike/quad wrecking yard if any are in your area.

there is a guy from newzeland on ebay that makes them for the xt250's. we put one on an xt350 from a xt200 and the bike runs great. check for similar cc trikes and motor cycles as they are usually the same other than the connector.

| yeah many similar model quads use the same one too. have you guys ever heard of a quad not starting when its cold due to CDI? it'll start perfect and work perfect until it gets close to freezing, then it has no spark at all. |

will the quad start and run if it has been in aheated garage/shed?
i would almost bet on a cdi or a damaged wire that the break gap gets too far away when it gets cold out. seen that before.

| yup a couple months ago i dropped it off at a guys house so he could weld a muffler on it. i went to bring it home but it wouldn't start. he put a heater next to it and sure enough it started after about an hour. i have the CDI off it right now and the quad is in a unheated shed so im going to try to start it with the CDI warm tomorrow. that should tell me if it is the CDI or not. thanks a lot! |

| there is a constant ticking in it. i assume it is the timing chain, does anyone have the slightest clue how to adjust it? or (in case i have too) how hard it is to replace? |

usually timing chain is not adjustable. have the valves been set recently?

Might have been a poor ground. Glad to hear you are riding again.

open the switch up and check for corrosion on the switches. had this happen on old enduro's. could also be the ground at the headlamps.
