My 400EX Build
I’ve ordered a whack of parts to start putting it together but looks like most of it is still there, included a White Brothers muffler and Moose Racing arms. Sadly, one arm is bent:
I’m going to strip it right down, check everything and replace what’s needed, that way I know what I’m working with. Main goal is to have a quick ride for when the snow melts, should be fun!!
Not a Honda build

Tips for cutting plastic skid plates?
Tips for cutting plastic skid plates?
Few questions on accessories
First off, I have a 24" LED light bar. I want to mount it to the front of the rack but I do not want to drill. The mount on the light is the L type with a single hole. Where can I find a mounting clamp or something similar to put on the rack bar? Also what is the diameter of the rack bar in the front? I’m thinking .5-.75"
In addition to the light bar, I have a wiring harness for it. I’m looking for advice on how to install it on the bike. Is there a housing I can get to mount it near the other switches? Maybe another switch you guys can recommend? I tried to attach a picture of the switch but it’s round with three prongs in the back. Thanks for any and all help!

I removed the head and checked the valves and the Exhaust port needed some work. I ended up doing both and reassembled the engine.
Cranking now gives a reading of approx 150psi.
New parts for the carb are still on their way (overflowing) so I hope to have that sorted soon.
As for the spark issue.
Previously I’d noticed that the Neutral and Reverse switch wires were around the wrong way and when I reconnected then I had a spark. hmm, now I don’t.
I went though the manual and checked everything as best I could.
I couple of questions…
So the primary coil voltage should be at least 100v minimum. I’m assuming that this is testing at the two wires going into the coil? I’m getting no voltage reading here. The coil itself tests within spec.
I’d love someone to explain the "primary and secondary sides" to me please?

I’m guessing it’s coming down to the pulser coil now?
