Electrical problems with my 750
« on: September 27, 2012, 06:29:34 PM »
I had a hard time starting my CB after work. It's cold blooded. Well I tried the elec. And it would barley idle,so I messed around with the idle screw,not a good idea. I then tried kicking it and it wouldn't fire. Then I went back to the electric starter and got it going, as it was backfiring the tail light and the tach and speedo lights stopped working. Not good,especially that I live in the country,dark country. The only bonus is no traffic. I got it home, tore apart the taillight and the bulb looks good, and it works as a brakelight and emergency light if the ignition key is turned all the way around. I checked the fuses and they are all good. Also I was checking the head light and horn and all is good,I did notice when I was up there that one of my headers was not hot at all as the other were hot. Not real sure about this one.

Well, not knowing the history of the bike...check first your sparkplugs: they may be fouled and black. Replace with ND brand X24ES-U for better results with the K2, and use regular or midgrade gas, not premium, if they are dark.

The K2 should have just 1 fuse: if not, it is not a K2.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Thankyou Hondaman. I am off to dealership in the morning for plugs as it was doing some backfiring on my commute home.
