No spark condition in a 1979 Honda CB250T?
I picked this bike up a couple days ago and it has no spark. It has a kickstarter, but no battery. It also has CDI ignition electric start. The specific CDI is TIA01-20, does this bike need a battery for spark even for the kickstart?
Yes of course it needs a battery
Yes, you need a battery. That 'hot-line' goes thru the Main fuse and without it there's no elec. Flow. Kickstarter or not.
There are ways to by-pass the battery connection but won't recommend that as it has problems with the coil over heating without use of the rect/reg.
Yup, you need a good battery for it to run.
You need a battery for regulator to beat against and provide boost current to coil on stator. You May get away with a 5 Farad cap like Lowriders like, instead. Brit bikes used this.

- Is the 1979 honda cb750f super sport reliable? A guy in town is selling one with 11,000 miles on it and says it runs great. Are there any known problems with them? I don't want to buy a bike that will end up needing lots of work to fix when it's only worth like $1000 anyways.
