Spent a couple hours working on my 1965 ct200 today. Got the following of my "to do list" done:  new plug wire/boot (DrATV splice kit, I highly recommend), new DrATV kick start lever, new RadioShack rectifier, clean/lube spark advancer, and set timing.  Buttoned it all up and she started on the first kick for the first time since I've owned her. Took a nice ride around the neighborhood at sunset on a nice warm 75 degree evening. Success at last. I really think the crusty old 1965 coil wire was the big issue.
