Yeah that’s right, sorry I thought you were going kickstart only for some mad reason when I typed that. Even after you asking about solenoid etc!

Sorry, brain fart!

What switches are you using Dave?

Using Motone button switches on this build.

So, bypassed the Hondaman unit and bike fires up!

Doesn't idle though so bit of tuning required.

You sure you wired the Hondaman unit up correctly?

Least the bugge’rs running Dave.

I chose not to wire it in until the bike is run in and sorted so I didn’t have the hassles you’re experiencing at the min.
I’ve still to get things set up in the bench engine wise and bob it on after an initial shake down on the road.

Probably not! 😂 I'll go through the connections again but had the missus double check the colours on wiring as I'm colour blind.

This is what was going to the points.

I'm colour blind too...the army said I could join only join the Paymasters Corps as not being able to identify fuses and flare light colours wasn t helpful in the tanks or infantry - I can't think why!  Nb...if it helps, in your picture the left wire is red and the right one is green ☺☺

FWIW
 
I believe convention is left coil (Blue wire) is for cylinders 1 & 4.
Right coil (Yellow wire) is for cylinders 2 & 3.

Looking at the contact breaker plate  left  side points are for cylinders 1 & 4 (wire is Blue).
Looking at the contact breaker plate right side points are for cylinders 2 & 3 (wire is yellow).

Doesn't work like that for the Hondaman system Ted, there are 2 other wires you need to jump into the blue and yellow wires, I'll see if I can find the wiring diagram and let you know.

Can’t find the wiring diagram but looking at it, the blue goes to the blue bullet connector coming up from the points, same for yellow. The purple goes to the blue coming down from the coils and the orange to the yellow. Black to the brake light switch and don’t forget the green must be earthed on the points plate.

I read the post that he was not initially fitting the Hondaman system just running it on points first the when all is good fitting the Hondaman system.
Maybe I misread the intention - I think that's Roo

Green wire - wonder if this is my mistake as I earthed it to frame and didnt run it to the points plate. I will try this tomorrow 👍

[Bryanj]

If the frame contacr was clean it shouldnt matter

According to Mark Paris on his website the ground wire MUST earth on the points plate, no idea why he insists on that, maybe it's to ensure a good earth.

I'm putting my hand up, and declaring that I'm an idiot.

Black wire had a case of open circuit-itis.

All running so now onto tuning timing and carbs.

Well done Dave
