1989 Honda Spada 250 PHC project 2

This is project Number 2, trying to get this one started, nightmare!!

Any help with working out what the fairing came off would be a lot of Help.

 

This one I can't get started. No spark?

try swapping a coil witht he other bike and see if that could be it, hope its not the stator

 

Agree with Cal, you have a spare bike so why not use it so get the other on going, makes sense.

 

now thats one i have never seen before a spada with fairings? looks good. any joy in getting her running?

 

I'm with you Moo, have not seen a Spada with fairings either, should be interesting.

 

Thanks, I'll give it a go!

 

Not Yet, will try today.

Not Sure if it has been put on by someone, Ive never heard of a Spada with fairing?

 

I did some work on her today!
Tested
1. Coils, resistance good, 12volts to terminals.
2. Pick ups, resistance good,
3. Battery good voltage.
4. Leads good.
5. New spark plugs.

Still no spark!!!

Change the cdi over

 

Big voltage drop on the coil terminal when starting (7v)!
Thought I'd take the battery out to give it a charge. Blow me down, it has a baby battery.

And look at what was holding it up, a aerosol can lid!!


It looked like this so didn't think to check it was the right battery!!

Did that! And the coils and the starter solenoid.

I have ordered a new battery! Should fix the issue!

If the battery was cranking the engine then I wouldn't think that a new battery will help to give you spark, Have a look at the rh switch block , maybe the kill switch is at fault.

 

Checked that first. Kill switch is fine, when you switch it, it takes the voltage off the coils? Got me baffled I hoping it's just a dodgy battery. When you don't turn he bike over it has 12v to the coils, when you turn the bike over the voltage to the coils drops to 5.6v. So some times when you just stop turning the bike over it does one spark.

sometimes its the simple things

 

You are right, I might be overthinking it!

if that doesn't fix it, then I would suggest that you get a multi meter and check each wire in the loom for continuity, must be a broken wire somewhere.

 

Justin does it have a side stand switch, also an oil warning light that stops the spark if either of these contacts are not closed/open.
Been having a look on the net and I've got to say that these bikes look very similar to the early NSR, frame wheels etc.
I recon a Mc18 fairing could be adapted front end needs work but they pump out 40 hp standard and don't weigh alot.
