I have a 1980 Honda Twinstar cm200t. It will not spark?
One day a couple of stupid kids stole it. They walked it about 2 blocks away when someone confronted them about it being stole. They dropped it on its die and it sat for 2 days before it was eventually picked up by a tow truck and towed away.
Now I have it back and for some reason it won't start. It had sat in my garage for over a year now. So, recently I have started trying to figure out what is wrong. I have figured out that it does not spark. I eventually made a small amount of progress, finding that the kill switch was indeed malfunctioning. After taking it apart, I found the inside parts had melted.( I assume from the little kids leaving it powered on while it sat on its side for two days) Anyway. I have fixed the switch and I have power now going to the spark coil. When the kill switch is on, I have 6 volts Going to the coil. (It's a 6 volt bike btw, One know it all bike mechanic Didn't believe me when I told him it was 6 volt) Anyway. I know This is a very broad issue on what could be wrong. I'm thinking it may be a ground issue. Maybe from the bike falling on its side. I have asked this question once befor and All i got was that its flooded from sitting on its side. Well. Its sat for a year.
some info I can give is as follows.
-Brand new charged battery
- Good spark plugs
-New sparkplug boots
- Coil and cables to plugs is good
- All connections in the headlight bucket all have good clean connections.
