Is your battery charged now? - yes Is the kill switch in the run position? yes Do you actually have a spark....remove a plug, connect it to the spark plug wire, crank the engine. Spark? - no If no spark, check for 12V to coil. thenlook to the points. - no clue what that means If a spark...

ok...here I am again having solved the below issue with the help of the trusty forum here!!! Thanks again gents! http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=41296.msg452041#msg452041 Now the bike in question will not fire. I removed the plugs and cleaned them off, replaced them and no go...

that just validates the purchase of a proper charger even more.

so at this point it is maintaining a dead battery...lmao. that is very good to know

Yah that gauge cluster is UGLY. I picked up a set from a cb360, the only issue is the 360 had 3 lights in the cluster (high beam, turn and neutral) the 400 has those 3 and oil. So I picked up some new lights and I am going to try and make a new box for the lights... no clue how that will go :)...

That would be very cool!!! Its supposed to rain today so a photo shoot may not happen since my garage is currently is my backyard.

LOL..why yes it is. My brother gave me a solar battey charger and I was trying to grab the last few rays the day was offering. I have never used it before...not sure if it even works.

So its been way too long. I have installed new bars and a front fender. I have changed out the bulky gauge cluster for a stand alone set. I will be installing those this week as soon as i can..it supposed to rain tomorrow, booooooooooo. I also have a new rear fender again not installed. I...

is there a throttle sleeve available?

Found the problem!!!!!! It was the ground. I took my drill with a wire wheel attached and went to work on the bars. I bolted it back together and it turned over albeit only a little cuz now my battery is dead ::)...of course the battery would die on me...lol. In my rush (new rule #1 do not...

Starting from scratch sounds like a good idea, glad I didn't put the bar end mirrors on!

Wow, great stuff. I found the main, head lamp and brake lamp fuses and changed out the main 15 amp. The points on electric start are black, they seem to be painted. There was some slight and I mean slight corrosion on the solenoid connections but was not getting any power to the solenoid with...

Thanks again for the help!! It is much appreciated. I think there may be a small fuse inside the housing...dreading taking that and the throttle off again. Was no picnic putting that back on. Ugh!! I am going to look for a wiring diagram and see where that leads me.

I will check that tomorrow. Do you know if there is another fuse for the elec start other than the main fuse? thanks for the help.

yes to the clutch Did you bridge wires for stand switch?...you lost me at did. lol no clue what you mean unless you mean the kick stand switch and this bike doesn't have one.

Kick Stand switch - not on bike so not an issue I bought a continuity tester and I have power from the switch. I changed the main 15a fuse and still no go. I also sanded the paint off the bar in the area of the ground with in the starter housing. I am going sand it a bit more to ensure I...

I have all gauge lights and power to the horn. Is there a fuse for the elec start? The soldering looked to be ok with in the hosuing for the elec start. When I changed out the controls I did not disconnect the battery, could this have caused the problem? Night time here..will check the wire...

I have a 81 cb400t that I just recently removed the rear signal and break lights (still off the bike atm) I also just yesterday swapped out my oem bars for clubmans. Upon reconnecting everything I turned the key on... front signals and head lamp work hit the start button...nothing. The bike has...
