Ignition System Troubleshooting: Honda CB175 / CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB550 / CB750

www.common-mot...
The first thing to check out when diagnosing a poor running vintage Honda motorcycle engine is the ignition system. A points style ignition system only contains a few parts, thus diagnosing issues is fast and parts replacement easy. All the parts must be working properly in the system for proper engine performance, so it only takes one part to fail to cause problems in the system and engine issues.
These troubleshooting techniques will work for the following families Honda motorcycle models (as well as other motorcycles with points style ignition systems):
-CB175 / CL175 / SL175 /CB200T
-CB350 / CL350 Scrambler /SL350
-CB360 / CL360 Scrambler / CJ360
-CB450 /CL450 Scrambler / CB500T
-CB500K / CB550
-CB750K
