Honda VT 600 C Shadow - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
2007 Honda Shadow VT600C won't start have new battery and plugs, and coil pack, new fuel filter, velocity stack, rebuild carb, loose choke cable to the carb.
I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your 2007 Honda Shadow VT600C. If you've already replaced the battery, spark plugs, coil pack, fuel filter, and performed maintenance tasks such as rebuilding the carburetor and checking the choke cable, there are a few more things you can try:
1. Fuel delivery: Check that the fuel pump is functioning properly and delivering fuel to the carburetor. Ensure that the fuel lines are clear and not clogged.
2. Ignition system: Verify that the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. Check the ignition fuse and wiring for any potential issues. Ensure that all connections are secure and clean.
3. Air intake and filter: Make sure the air filter is clean and not obstructed. Ensure that the velocity stack is installed correctly and not causing any air flow issues.
4. Compression test: Perform a compression test to check the engine's compression. Low compression could indicate a mechanical issue within the engine.
5. Starter motor: Check if the starter motor is engaging properly and turning over the engine. If the starter motor is not working, it may need to be replaced.
6. Wiring and electrical connections: Inspect all wiring and connections related to the ignition system, starter motor, and battery. Look for any loose or damaged wires that may be causing the starting issue.
If you've exhausted these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be best to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic or Honda dealership. They have the specialized knowledge and diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause of the starting problem and recommend appropriate repairs.
Please remember to exercise caution and follow proper safety procedures when working on your motorcycle.
Loose main fuse
30 amp is usually the main fuse or headlights try main fuse first see if engine starts
Lights went out on my 94 Shadow 600?
probably a fuse but you will need to check the wiring for faults as in bare wires or around the steering head because of the left and right motion that can put stress on connections ,pinch wires ,or stretch them
1998 honda shadow has no power in 2 3 and 4 gear it barely even wants to go
Hi Shaun:
Old mechanic's philosophy...
IF IT AIN'T CLEAN,YOU CAN'T FIX IT."
My recommendation:
- Drain and clean the gas tank. Fill with fresh fuel
- Replace fuel filter if it has one.
- drain carb (into glass jar so you can see the debris)
- If there was grunge in the jar, you can try filling and draining it until you get clean fuel, then try running it.
- If you still have the problem then removing and cleaning the carb is the next step.
- You have a great old bike there, and maintaining it will be part of the experience of owning it. Take your time, stay organized, keep a neat workbench, and you'll become a Shadow FIXYA expert.
Cheers.
MC Dies upon ANY throttle application. HELP!
Odds are that if it sat for a year with fuel in it, the carb may be gummed up. Opening the throttle will cause an immediate engine stop if it is not getting fuel.
I'd recommend a "clean out the carb" project, including using air to blow out allof the small orifices.
What is the spark plug gap?
Call any auto parts store and tell them make , model , and engine size and they will tell you the gap setting
