    Honda GX160 unconnected wire question.

    Hello, This picture shows an unconnected wire (with the red connector on it) It comes out of/leads to the flywheel side of the engine. It's not the coil/killswitch wire; that's the connected black one on top. All other wires are connected and have a purpose I'm aware of and everything...

    Coil Wire Replacement

    The hard plastic spark plug cap got broke on my engine. Is the coil wire replaceable on these or is it molded into the coil? Pictures online make it look like it comes off the coil.

    Wire Wheels

    Lots of bigger minibikes and mini cycles have wire wheels. Have you ever tried rebuilding one? I hadn't until recently, and the thought of it scared me a bit. My minis all have either steel or mag wheels, but I have a number of motorcycles, too. I have a '75 Yamaha RD350 that I'm fixing up to...

    Spark plug wire

    Has anyone ever changed out the plug wire on their Predator? I'm wanting to replace mine with a MSD Super Conductor plug wire, but not sure if it will work as far as these engines use a magneto(?) type ignition. I've seen where a member here (LSCustom) has a MSD boot, but not sure if its just...

    Problem coil or condenser?

    Still trying to get spark on this H35 side popper. Right off the bat I changed the points and condenser as I had them around and best to just do that anyway. I still didn't get spark. I think disconnected the kill switch wire in case there was a short or a fray in the wire i wasn't seeing and...

    Tecumseh AH 817 MB spark problem

    I am working on an old Tecumseh AH 817 MB engine. When I talked to the guy who owned it before me, he said it had no spark. He said he had tried putting in a different condenser but still had the same problem. I noticed when I took it apart that he had pinched the wire and I thought that may be...

    Single wire lighting coil connections

    On an engine with a small 3 amp lighting coil with a single wire... How would it be wired to a light? Would I just run the wire to the + on the light and ground the - to the engine block? I am refering to a Honda GX with the single wire. Thanks,

    Whats this Honda wire thing?

    I KNOW this GX160 aint got lights.. Does it? Why the resister block? :shrug: I looked it over somewhat, appears to just be the one wire going into the shroud area, which would suggest just a kill wire, and it hooks to the kill switch, plus the yellow wire is obviously some kind of low oil...

    No spark- ground wire ??

    I have this old B&S engine. There's no spark. There is a red wire coming out of the engine. I have no knowledge or experience of what this wire is for, or where it goes. I'm beginning to think its a leader for a boat's anchor line. Any ideas ? Thank you very much. :shrug:

    Briggs shut off wire

    My B&S toro leaf blower won't shut off-I'd done some work last fall and forgot where to hook this thin wire that I suspect shuts down the motor. Help? Also, when I grab the front shaft, and pull in and out, it moves quite a bit. I'd put in new bearings...what the hek?
