keychange Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 When I got my TLR200 it had all the lights, speedo and ignition switch installed and so I removed all of these except the ignition switch as the mounts had to be ground off in order to remove it. I have just been doing a tidy up and I had triple clamp off and so I decided to remove the ignition switch and what was left of the wiring harness. Now it won't kick - completely dead. I have had the bike complete stripped engine out etc I can get measurable power (multimeter) from black/red lead from the alternator and there is only the green, black/white, black/red and blue/yellow and plain black leads from the CDI - should be simple but even with the kill switch disconnected from the circuit I can' get any measurable current out of the CDI. There is a green/white lead on the same harness shield as the blue/yellow lead but I can't find anywhere it belongs nor can I see a reference to it in the Clymer. Also should there be any current from the pickup coil? Any constructive suggestions welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keychange Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) There is a green/white lead on the same harness shield as the blue/yellow lead but I can't find anywhere it belongs nor can I see a reference to it in the Clymer. I used the Clymer because the wiring diagrams are clear and coloured - but unfortunately not correct for my TLR I just dug out my scanned copy (not great resolution) of the original workshop manual and sure enough there is a Green/White lead from the pick-up goes to green (earth) on the CDI - I'll try that tomorrow.

keychange Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Initially it wouldn't restart - removed and cleaned carbie no better so I moved the high tension wire and other but around so as not to be touching frame - gave a fresh plug and away it went - ran nicely. But after that it was still a bit hard get started and was kicking back - so I backed off the decompresser but now it just won't start - it sometimes kicks a little as if it wants to go but nothing and kicking back a lot now... a sticky valve maybe? There is no timing adjustment so I am at a loss The kickstart itself is starting to feel a bit tired is it possible something is worn in the starter gearing.

keychange Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I read my original post his morning and it occurred to me that the pick up coil connection could be loose - I cleaned it and first kick away she goes. Just went for a two hour ride with several stops some planned some not - started easily every time. I love Honda engines ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
