Hartford Legion HD-125L - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
BIKE WILL NOT START
Remove plug cap from spark plug and unscrew from HT lead. Clean it and put it to one side. Use a set of wire cutters to remove about 1/2 an inch of the HT lead and refit cap. This SHOULD sort it out.
If it was more serious, like the CDI for instance, then it wouldn't spark at all, so thankfully it isn't serious. Hope this helps.
Misfires
The sound and the high fuel consumption are all related. there are many things that might be wrong. it could be the fuel quality the carburettor air filter spark plug or even an elecrtical problem. but since you had the bike serviced but you are still experiencing problems i would try cleaning the spark plug. and when you fit the sparklug back, check wheter the wire going to the sparkplug is in perfect order. then put the bike in neutral, put in on the main stand, start it and check the big wire going to the sparkplug. listen if you can detect any noise in that area. if you hear a tik - tik sound, then there is a elecrtical leak. you should be able to repair that by yourself if not a normal service station would do. however if thats not the problem, then you should bring the bike to another service station,,,
BSA Rocket 3. she was
On my old BSA Rocket I had an Amal carb. Cleaning and adjusting the idle jet cured that problem on it.

Wont start
Have check for the sparks at the spark plugs?
Have you checked if the fuel enters the combustion chamber?
Check the ignition coils , the fuses .
Battery
If your bike was exposed to very hot or very cold weather for awhile that would be sufficient to weaken your battery. Heat and cold can drain a battery of power so it's important to check the battery hydro levels frequently and run a trickle charge during off-season.,,,
Petrol smell
looks like your carburettor's giving out a rich fuel mix there or you've forgotten to turn off the choke.,
Gas cable
getting to know my bike etc..as I had a broken throttle cable.
The other one didn't look too hot so decided to change them both.
Took me a good few minutes to figure out how to thread the cable through the slide in the carbs but managed it in the end.
However once all that was done, I can't fit the other end into the handlebars:,Hi, I would do it the other way around, throttle first then the carbs, can be tricky but i think it is the way it has to be done. Yes, slacken off everything, thread cables first on to the throttle and clip in, then then the carbs and then readjust. You are on the right track, just abit back to front.,,,
Backfire
Backfires are when fuel travels through the cylinders without combusting then explodes in the exhaust pipe. Fuel supply/combustion issue. It seems likely there's a problem either with the mix going into the cylinders (carbs fuel lines or air intake), or with timing. These can affect a bike at particular speeds and throttle positions. If using the choke has helped at some point that's a further indication (the choke changes the gas/air mix). ,,,
Brake pads
- OEM Honda Brake pads. These are the highest recommended pad on the list. They have great stopping power good feel readily available and are reasonably priced. Grade (5). - EBC Green Race. OK for a while not as good as OEM. Grade (2). - Galfer Green's,,,
My bike keeps cutting out
have the battery load tested and the charge circuit checked as it indicates insufficient battery charge to keep the engine running
