When I push start it it starts right up. But the electric start wont do anything in till I jump the solenoid. Even then it wont start only try to start.

when I first got the big red it ran ok and would die when started so I adjusted the carb. Then it would not start and the plug smells like gas and looked like coked up oil.

I had the carb rebuilt then ended up buying a brand new one.
I had the new one rebuilt all along with the same issues.

Ok then it would start ok it stayed started fine. I thought it was the fuel filter.

Not we changed the oil, changed out the plug and it ran for a day then I opened the plug and it was black and smelled like gas.

It smokes now and then but with new oil there was no smoke.

And it does not always smoke just when its acting up.

Now the route to get it going is pull the plug, sand the plug and soak it in alcohol and use a tooth brush let it all dry out and the rig fires right up.

So is it time to part this rig out on ebay?

I dont think I can spend any more cash, although it could be the CDI it does work it could be the timing.

Im sure if I change that CDI and do the timing it will still be bad oil rings I have no mechanical skills and no time I need to use this on a small farm. :icon_ rasta:

ONE THING TO NOTE:

1. When I work on it and get it started and warmed up it will run the entire day and start faster then my car, runs smooth but the next morning when cold the plug is black and gummed up and thus the cleaning the plug ritual starts all over.

I fear this ride is over.

Ok, at a loss here. Changed oil on my recon, no paper filter to change. Honda usually does thing right, this seam like a not so right idea. How is no filter a good thing? Even my riding mower has a oil filter.

In repair manual see a oil screen in the engine that need cleaned, Can’t believe that gets cleaned very oftin as would have to split the engine. Is a Honda dealership oil change for my bike like $1200.00? Maybe more if they have to split the case, lets make that an even $2000.00. Crazy!

So first post and it’s asking for help. But I’m at a loss.

Picked up the 05 from my inlaws because they wanted to get it going for camping season.

it’s been sitting in a barn for the last year and a half so they went out threw a battery in in and tried to fire it up…for some reason it wouldn’t do more than chug a few times an die…:icon_rolleyes:

I went over(courtesy of SWMBO) and picked it up to try and get it running.

List of work:
1. pulled, drained, flushed tank with fresh fuel, replaces with 4 gallons.
2. drained and replaced oil.
3. changed spark plug.
4. pulled carb and cleaned, made sure moving parts are moving, reassembled in what I think is mostly the right order.
5. Turned key. 😛

end result is the bike will kick over if I spray some starter fluid into it but won’t stay running for a second, after reassembly I did check the carb by draining the bowls and fuel is flowing in. tried using the primer but I don’t think it did much.

aaannnnd now I’m here scratching my head. So who wants to tell me what stupid little thing I missed?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have spent the last few months trying to diagnose a no spark problem. I followed the trouble shooting chart in Service Manual plus all the suggestions from this forum. I replaced the battery (which was 10 years old anyway), voltage reg/rec, spark plug, coil, ECM, checked wiring and connections. The CKP sensor put out less than minimum voltage but I thought it should be enough. Anyway, I had the stator/CKP replaced, and it fired right up. On the bench the stator resistance was about .3-.4 ohms among the three pairs of wires, which must okay since I never had charging problems. I took apart the CKP and from what I saw I am guessing the sensor overheated and the insulation was damaged on the windings and shorted out. So now I have a bag of spares, but at least we are running.
