    Hi there, I've recently completed a top end rebuild and have gone to set the points timings however I can't seem to get any spark at all. I've used a voltmeter to check that I get electrical signal all the way to the end of the wire that runs from the condenser to the contact breaker assembly...

    I've been searching through the internet and cannot seem to track down the reason why my Honda cm185T will not generate spark. I have replaced the ignition coil, starter solenoid, condenser, spark plugs and cleaned all possible grounded connections. Aside from all of this, I also cleaned the...

    Hello, this is my first post after going through tons of forums helping me fix up my cb350, but I have hit a barrier and cannot seem to find anything on it. So, I bought a '71 cb350 which ran but not well and would require me to fight with it. It would start after fighting it, but struggling...

    Hello, I have been working on my buddies 1985 CB450SC Nighthawk over the past couple weeks. The bike is able to idle, but whenever any throttle is given it starts to die. it seams to die inconsistently, one sec it would rev alright for a sec then the next it would die immediately. Do you know...

    Hi, I’ve got a 78 cb400ti and am getting no spark. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the CDI. They’re extremely expensive and hard to find. I’ve read in other posts there’s a guy named CDIMagician who makes them but I can’t find him. Anyone know where I can get a useable replacement that not...

    Hello, I just picked up a beautiful '71 CB350 and was riding around fine until suddenly I lost power, like the bike was running on just one cylinder. Lo and behold, I pulled the plugs, grounded them to the engine and turned her over: no spark to the right plug. Opened up the left side points...

    What do you guys think about this plug? They both look exactly the same, but I'm not completely sure if this means I'm running lean or rich. Thanks for any help.

    Hello, so i was having sparking issues on the left side and noticed the leads were fried so i replaced both coils with new caps and spark plugs. The weird thing is that after i installed them they were both giving spark and that was awesome, but when I went back the next day to go for a ride, I...

    Hey guys, need some spark plug help. There must be something obvious I'm missing as this is my first time changing plugs since I got the bike. This has probably been discussed before but I could find specific threads for this issue. My bike is a 1974 CB450 and the old plugs don't have a cap on...

    So i've had this project bike for a bit now but can't get over this hill figuring out how to get the bike to fire. I have fuel flowing, she's kicking over but i'm not getting any spark from the plugs. I put in a new battery, cleaned the carb, made sure that's all in tact. Wiring: As far as...

    Hey Fam, I am new to the forum and fairly new to being a "bike mechanic." I recently purchased a 1968 Honda CB450 K1 and have been poking around on the forum to try to figure out a solution to a problem I am having with the right cylinder not firing. I switched the standard plugs out with NGK...

    Hello, Still working on my 68 cd175. My wife says she's glad I have a hobby. I just wish I could make it run. So... I see the points sparking, I've got the timing right on. But the plugs do not make a spark when I hold em next to the block. I have new plugs. And new plug caps today. So I decided...
