| 1357.20 | old honda cl125 - starts eventually then stalls | DZIGN::BIBEAULT | | Wed Mar 05 1997 09:02 | 6 |
| I have a '74 CL125 that starts (not always quickly though) then runs
for about a couple of minutes (max 5 or so) then dies out. The bike has
fuel. Any opinions as to what could be the cause or what to check?
Thanks,
Marc

| 1357.21 | you need the big 3 | POLAR::ROBINSONP | Byte me | Wed Mar 05 1997 09:15 | 8 |

Assuming fuel is OK, then check for spark when engine dies.
Other than that the only thing needed is compression...what
does the compression feel like cold vs. warm, assuming you
don't have a compression guage you will have to estimate via
kicking it over. How's the battery?
FWIW
|
| 1357.22 | I will check for spark | DZIGN::BIBEAULT | | Wed Mar 05 1997 10:02 | 7 |
| Fuel is new. If a bike had bad compression - would it even start?
I have a compression guage.
Battery is ok (lights work). There is no electric starter - kicker
only.
Thx

| 1357.23 | | UTROP1::DICKHOFF_L | How fragile we are | Wed Mar 05 1997 10:49 | 17 |
| having fuel in the tank is one thing, having a steady supply flowing
through the carbs is another. It could be that the carb has a supply
of fuel in the bowl, starts runs but if the bowl is not getting
refilled (stuck or slow responding floater) the engine will die.
Run the bike
after it stalled,
close the tab remove the bottom part of the carb, it should contain
fuel (so be carfuel!). If not or a very small amount then it means the
carb gets starved
Check fuel line for blockage (you get used to the taste of fuel..)
with the tab open and bowl removed check if floater regulates the flow
of fuel (hold small container under the carb. You will have floaded
the garage floor by now....

| 1357.25 | small Honda (CT70) REQUIRE a chgd battery to start? | DZIGN::BIBEAULT | | Fri Mar 07 1997 15:18 | 6 |
| Would anyone know if a Honda CT70 would start with a dead battery if
it is a kick start only bike. Does it need juice even though it's
a kick start?
Thx,
Marc
|
| 1357.26 | think so | ZEKE::STLOUIS | | Fri Mar 07 1997 15:43 | 10 |
| I would say yes if it is a battery,coil points system. If the machine
has a magneto, then no the battery is for the lighting system only.
The kick start is only to get things moving on a bat,points coil sys.
On the mag. system kicking generates a spark.
For something completely different- I once had a 1962 Chevy that I
started up, removed the battery,then drove it to the junkyard :)

| 1357.27 | it'll start | CSC32::T_ABDELLA | Running wild through the mountains | Fri Mar 07 1997 17:57 | 4 |

My boys have a ct70 with a dead battery. The bike starts and runs
OK.

| 1357.28 | ct70 - possible disconnected wire | DZIGN::BIBEAULT | | Mon Mar 10 1997 09:18 | 17 |
| Thanks for the replies. I think the problem is different than I
suspected. To transport it home the former owner and I picked it up by
the front fork and handle bar. It was dark out and I believe a wire
was 'unplugged' from either the kill button (not a switch on a '71) or
we disconnected some wiring that goes into from the headlight - I
checked there but nothing I did worked. Somehow something got
disconnected that I haven't found. Over the w/e I looked for the
obvious. I have the Clyme manual but it doesn't have a wiring diagram.
The bike ran fine - started first kick each time - before I got it home.
I suppose I'll be looking for a bad connection or short... Damn. These
things can be a bi%^$ - especially when I'm not that familiar with the
bike to begin with. Anybody have a running CT70 that I could compare
the wiring to? I'm in the RI to Maynard area.
Thanks,
Marc

| 1357.29 | Happened before ? | FOUNDR::DODIER | Double Income, Clan'o Kids | Tue Mar 11 1997 12:57 | 4 |
| Is the previous owner around to ask if they ever had that happen to
the bike ? Might be worth a shot.

| Ray,
Yes. I could call and ask - I just didn't want to bother him.
