Shorted Kill switch?
As your location is middle TN, try giving Bob Ginder at B&J racing a call I used to wrestle a TL250 around a few trials sections till I got tired of picking it up. Got a Bultaco now, whole lot less bike to crawl out from under.

I just went through a problem with no spark on my 76 TL 250. The coil was shot. Don't bother looking for a TL coil you won't find one. I used a coil off of a 75 XL 250. Different mount bracket but it did bolt right up and works like new. When my coil was going bad I could start the bike and drive it a short distance and it would die. Wait till the coil cooled and it would start again until finally it died all together.
