Watch out for dodgy tranwation  Right hand mouse click and select 'translate-to-English' http://www.win-pmc.com/replace_cb400four/David at Saisei can get these parts ... he's their agent here.

What finish do you have on final prep Keith? I have two CB250 tanks that I need to have painted.I have removed most of the paint with (proper) paint stripper but I was considering dry bead blasting them as final prep with 50/100 Vixosheen glass beads. Will this finish be fine enough for candy (or metallic) paint? http://www.vaporblastingequipment.com/abrasivesAsh

That's a real sh*tty circuit diagram I put on here Graham and can't quite work out the colours but looks like 3 yellows out of the alternator so 3-phase but I can't see a field coil but could be a PM rotor (there is a 4th coil but it looks like the power generator for the CDI). Really out of touch with models after 1977, sorry  . If it is PM (permanent magnet) and 3-phase, why not try temporarily grafting in a 400/4, CB500/550 or 750 rectifier and link directly to the battery, making sure the battery is pretty flat before testing it. The battery will act as it's own regulator until it becomes charged. also have you tried another battery ... just in case ! Cheers ... Ash

Is this the model Graham?. If so I would suspect the regulator/rectifier possibly, as mentioned by others.

Don't know that bike Graham but from what I can see on a brief look on the Net. I gather that it's a two wire flasher on that model. What's the method of regulation on that bike to prevent overcharging the battery at high revs.? The early twins had a Hitachi unit which incorporated a voltage detector and thyristor 'crowbar' to prevent overcharging (mounted under the battery box) ... bit like the action of zener diode on old 60's Triumphs but a lot more precise. There must be some method of prevention of battery overcharge on that bike and if it's malfunctioning and the flasher has any kind of electronics in it, then the overcurrent charging pulses could cause an erratic flash rate.
This is all supposition as I don't know that model. Do you have a circuit diagram? Is it a CD250U. If it was a CD250 'Dream' from '68, I'd be hightailing it down the M1, flashing the cash at you to part with it

If it did turn out to be a three wire, separate regulator, the third (ground) wire would need a good connection to earth, in order to perform regulation properly. Plus if it was also a 3-wire flasher, that too would need a decent earth to it's 3rd GREEN wire.

Why don't you phone the Honda Dealer for more info. Just because a dealer says he took it in part ex, that could of been 20 years ago.
Dealers will also punt a bike like this as it is good advertising for them 
That's what I was going to do Graham. Just asking on here in case anybody knows / bought it. I only have the issue of CB where it was offered as a prize but there must be a later one showing the winner or at least a follow up if the winner insisted on anonymity. Ash

why do you think it was a trade in ? Why do you think it was sold ? I know a lot of Honda dealers that have a collection tucked away
Do you know more than you are letting on Trig .. If so reveal ... unless it's safely tucked up in your stash Says in the eBay ad 'taken in part exchange' ... isn't that a trade in .. granted it doesn't say when!

Ash, why do you think the Honda Dealer has sold it ?
Don't fully understand the question Graham. If its a straight one, then because it was a trade in ! but whatever it sold for it's a good benchmark of the value (or more probably due the Wyatt / magazine provenance) of mine when finished.

I just found my copy of the magazine this was a prize in so I can see the finish in its original restored state, which was done by Rising Sun Restorations (John Wyatt of CB750 book fame). It's an early, genuine UK, bike and paintwork will have been done by the same(superb) painter I used (Andrew Parnaby), as he operates from the next unit to John in North Yorkshire. The mileage (presumably before resto) is within 1k of mine. There has been lots of speculation on this forum lately about the true value of early UK bikes lately and a lot of UK bikes 'coming out of the woodwork' being sold. This was sold by a dealer, so whatever it sold for is going to be true gauge of the ACTUAL resale value of one of these early UK models. So does anyone know what it sold for? Suppose I could call the dealer and ask or maybe it's a member or 'lurker here. Talking of 'lurkers', if there are any out there reading this,come and join us properly and then we have strength in numbers, can share things between ourselves and you can at least view the attached images etc.
BTW the eBay bike had the wrong front mudguard ,not a 'double cut' .. anyone else spot anything !

Tanks look great Keith  How petrol resistant is the finish I'v always had problems with rattle cans?
Mick
Wow paint looks great you must be so proud Keith. Think the rattle can was used as a 'tester' or swatch Mick, although as I said in another post, i've seen a superb Blue/Green 1969 CB750 sandcast done with rattle can's, albeit 1990's formula,
