well the battery has some power. kind of abused it getting it to start, between jumping it and whatever. but its still good. the ground wire off it is painted over and looks a little beat up but should be fine. i am going in today or tomorrow to do a little more work but as of now, i tested the new ...

the bike runs. i took it for a ride last week. and no mice chewing. the last thing i did to it was put some shiny new points on. with those it ran again, and i drove around the block. i figured i would leave it on a good note and when i came back, i got nothing. no spark. electric start, nothing ...

yeah, i was testing the resistance. I'm learning this as i go with a friend of mine who actually knows what he is talking about. looking for the proper ohms, but got nothing. anyway. found a couple coils to replace it. hopefully this works. thanks for all the help so far, sorry i haven't been able ...

yeah... but if i don't get any reading out of the coil....then what? everything is connected properly, and reading on the tests. i finally get to the coil, take the wires off, and the thing is dead. yeah it had some wax-like buildup like you said. so i found a replacement.... but i think the dude is ...

anyone have a little step by step to repairing the coil? i found an old one on ebay but something tells me its not going to work. and is there another one that fits?????

going in later today to do some work on this. got some wire for the coil, lets hope this is it... got a question kind of odd. what other bikes did honda make that are interchangeable with a CA160? looking more for the cosmetic stuff. like could i put a single seat from a ca95, and front forks off a ...

awesome. got it. now it won't spark. condenser is fine. grounded. have new points on. gap is a little too big, but they still don't spark. the coil maybe? its under the seat right? saw a thread about replacing the wire? any other suggestions?

so i got the brass tube to fit in for the overflow. anyone have the measurements for one? like how long is the brass overflow tube from where it connects to the bowl. and i think its sealed on top, but there must be a hole in the side? pics would be helpful.

Up north of boston(title needed an explanation), I discovered this one.

tires were flat(one was original?). the seller said the "carb needed some adjustment" and overall a little tlc.

dragged it to my driveway, fired up after some kicks and the electric. then....nothing.

so new battery, new ...
