Got another one to work on! This time a 78 CB400A. Originally, a customer bought the DC2-11 ignition coil kit from me and he did a carb clean and had it running for 10 minutes then electronics went out. They came back on later but no spark. This is his first bike and first time working on one.
Initially, I tried a prototype CDI in the driveway for him but still no spark. Guessing rotor or stator at this point but haven't had time to look.
It needs other stuff ill be doing such as:
* Carb sync/tune.
* Balancer chain adjustment.
* New front fork seals, dust caps and fork oil.
* DOT5/Silicone conversion.
* Chains and sprocket.
* Emgo rear brakes.
* New kickstater and gear shift seals.
* Valve and cam chain adjustment.
* Check swingarm bushings, might replace.
* Fix corroded charging wiring.
* New tires and tubes.
* New carb insulators, bands.
Should be another fun one for me. Guess I'm the "Hondamatic guy" now
