I'm new to this site and was hoping to get some help with some electrical problems I'm having.
I got this bike 2 weeks ago. It had some carb issues but ran decently. I rode it for about 2 weeks without any big problems. One day, I parked it after about a 20 minute ride, came bak about 3 hours later to find that there was no spark. I bought new plugs, and a new battery. nothing. I can't seem to find anything online about my bike and it's getting very annoying. I was told to clean the points by a honda mechanic. I have cleaned the points on cb125's and 160's. I cannot find the points on my cb400. either they are in a very different spot than i'm used to, or, they look and function much differetly. I removed the stator cover and the clutch cover, to not find anything of the sort.
basically, I'm asking if there is anyone that either knows where I can find/dowload a service manual, or, knows where the points are located if there are any. I'm not familiar with any other ignition systems.
anyway, I thought i'd see what info I could get on this site before I throw money at a new coil and a stator.
I would appreciate ANY info at all. Thanks!
