1984 Honda VT 500 C Shadow Questions & Answers
1983 honda shadow does not get any power... i
We had the same problem, thought it was ignition but found out it was fried connector in juction box, the red and black wires that connect to another set of red black wires but gives juice to the whole box, we pulled them and jumpered together but then had to us small jumper wires to give power back to box, violla took us 3 weeks! :-)
Hey i have a 1984
I'd give that wiring a really close and long look. You have correctly diagnosed the problem, but the question is what to address first. I'd stay away from the starter. That's not the issue. Somehow, you've melded two wires together "somewhere" that is by-passing the starter.
Valve specs for VT 500 honda shadow 1983
Hi,
Your valve clearances should be:
Intake .08-.12 mm (.003-.005 in)
Exhaust .12-.16 mm (.005-.006 in)
I usually start all gaps in the middle of given specs, then fine tune from there.
Hope this helps
