The Honda CBX has only one weak point:
- that are the two carbon-brushes which run in the generator and are responsible for the charging...!
1) you need to buy a set of those brushes A and B (not the same)
2) to replace them you need to be a skilled mechanic as you need to remove and open the generator...
3) if you are not experienced you better let a Honda Dealer do it for you.
- as this has to be done regularly there is a conversion kit available
at TIMS CBX to avoid it

SOURCE: Wheres the battery???

Hi ..... Do you have an ignition switch ? I'm sure all the early XR's didn't have a battery or ignition switch .............. just kick and go. Fitted with an ignition pack, you kick and it generates sparks. In the UK if you used one on the road insurance wouldn't cover you for Theft as they were too easy to steal.
Let me know how you get on.

SOURCE: 1979 honda cbx 6 cylinder, no power at 1 coil. no

If you mean no output power, coil is bad. If you mean no input power 12v, there is a fault in the wiring. If you mean no signal from stator, wiring problem as well

SOURCE: This is for an 1979 Honda CBX. I installed new

I PRESUME YOU THOROUGLY CLEANED THE FLOAT NEEDLE SEAT?AND INSPECTED THE NEEDLES FOR LIKENESS COMPARED TO THE OLD ONES, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO IGNORE THE FACTORY SETTINGS PLACE THE CARBS ON THE BENCH WITH A FUEL SUPPLY CONNECTED AND ADDJUST EACH FLOAT UNTILL THE LEVEL OF FUEL IS BELOW THE OVERFLOW TUBE ALLOWING ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE FLOATS SO THAT THE LEVEL STILL LYES BELOW THE TUBE WHEN FULLY ASSEMBLED, COMPLETE THIS TEST BEFORE FIXING THEM TO THE BIKE, WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY REPLACE THEM BACK ON THE BIKE,

PS IS THE NEEDLE SEAT AVAILIBLE SEPERATLY MAYBE WORTH INVESTING INSOME NEW 1S IF THEY DO

YOU COULD HAVE THE CARBS ULTRASONICALY CLEANED

This is for an 1979 Honda CBX. I installed new float needles and seats. Also, I adjusted float levels to factory specs. All carbs are still flooding.
