Why won't my 92 Honda CB750 start?
Hi, I have a 1992 Nighthawk (Honda CB750), that clicks at the starter solenoid instead of actuating the starter motor. It's been sitting for about four months while I tried to fix it, gas tank and carbs drained. I've tried (not in order):
-Replacing the Starter Solenoid and Main fuse (twice, the second time, it had gotten water in it…)
-Replacing the Starter Motor.
-Charging, then replacing the battery (I've checked it before trying to start it, it usually sits just over 14v)
-Removing, cleaning and rebuilding the carbs
-Replacing the battery cables
-Drained the gas and carbs and filled with new gas
Maybe there's a clog in the crankshaft casing or a short in the cables… I don't know, and I'm really in need of advice. Any ideas?
You never mention the starter button
So with the ignition on, run a direct wire from the battery to the starter, bypassing everything.
make sure it is a fat wire at least a 10 gauge
If the motor turns then the problem is a fuse, or a relay, or a fuseable link
If nothing then pull the starter motor and try again after you make sure your engine turns over and isn't seized
Oh yea- Neutral is switched as well as engaged clutch
The clicking has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CARBS. It is probably the starter, starter selinoid, or the battery is junk
check to see if the horn and lights work. If so then the battery is good, so it is one of the other two listed above.
Is starter being allowed to turn? Not jammed against flywheel etc?
have we tried jumping power directly to starter and by passing wiring? If this works. Then we have a voltage drop or too high a resistance between battery and starter.
Broken!
- What is the current value of a Honda cb750 f2n 1992 model? What's the average value of the above bike? Full mot, 44k miles, reasonably good on a cosmetic level.
- My 1983 Honda nighthawk 650 won't start with the electric start? I recently replaced the ignition coils because the old ones were getting heat soaked and the bike would die, however now the bike won't start with the electric start it turns over fin and the starter sounds fine but it won't start occasionally it ll start when it's cold or try to but I've been having to bump start it in order to ride it. So what's making it do this? Could it be the kill switch? Or something else?
- Has anyone done a sport bike/crotch rocket swingarm swap on a 79 Honda CB750? I'd like to do a few custom touches to my bike. I was wondering if anyone has done a swap on the swingarm from a crotch rocket or sport bike to a Honda CB750? If so, what kind/size swingarm, what if any fan work was needed, etc?
- Can I swap a fi motor into an early 80s honda cb750? Looking to buy a 81 cb750 or around that time frame want to know if I could put a fuel injected motor in it without having to chop and weld alot of stuff, is it possible? Any idea what motors would work best?
