Some of you have expressed condolances for the loss of my sister and to those thank you deeply, this is just the latest thing.
Late last year i had to give in to the shoulder arther and swop from driving to siting in security hut, substantial pay cut but still earning.
January 16th(my birthday) my brother in law died unexpectedly at the age of 88 having been married to my sister for 69 years.
Then my sister was hospitalised with heart valve problem and passed on April 24th(3 days after my weeding aniversary).
I feel for my two nephews and their 29 year old kids who were raised a lot by their gran, my sister, as they have lost doth dad(grandad) and mum(gran) within 3 months.
As the 71 yr old yougest of 5 with 2 now gone it feels like that cliff we all fall of is getting closer all the time.
My best to all on the forum and appologies for the grumps

To do it right and making sure all the bits are fitted correctly you should remove lower crankcase.
Kickstart knuckles are like chromed rocking horse poo to find

The least common no charge is the generator,
Most common is bad connection
Next is regulator, especially electronic ones

Thats what i remember, rubber boot in space at top right of battery as you look at it.
Ted, before you try running the motor check that the blue and yellow from points are plugged in inside that boot, several times i have been caught out when i have mad last minute alterations somewhere and one of thos has pulled out so it only fires on 2!

Not a favourite of silicone, just a tad tpp much can block the oilways. When using original Honda top sets we never had a problem till asbestos was removed from the fibre material

Got it, the only reason for the extra brown is the fact the steering lock is on the ignition switch so you need to feed the sidelights from there, just joining both to the one brown on the 4 wire will be fine as it does not have a steering lock built in.
I would suggest a padded P clamp on the frame tube holding the bracket the switch fits in.

Why do you need to replace the generator they rarely fail
If you do no the rotor does not need to come off
Head gasket can be done with engine in, there are not a lot of options for sets now but you will need the special sealing washers under some of the head nuts

If the only difference is the extra brown wire then you should be able to use the earlier 4 wire switch but good luck finding an original Honda bracket and then you would need to weld a bracket for it to bolt to onto the frame.
The us boys used to move the early switch to between the clocks with a bracket that i may have one of somewhere but finding it is a problem.
I am just back from my sisters funeral, give me some time and i will check out the wiring diagrams for you

He has only had one failure caused by mounting in a bad place so the box filled with water after more than a year which he repaired free, i would happily use one along with a nos honda points plate

Its not the head you need to skim but the barrel so as to reduce the depth of the recess for O ring by 3 to 5 thou.
I did once think aboutputting a small shim in the recess but getting an accurate sized shim that thin did not appear easy

What actual model is it and where is the ignition switch now?
