Hi, I have a 1981 Honda g400 motor with no spark. I'm going through the system and need to know the points gap please.Also is this old enough to have low oil cut out? Thanks Nigel.

Hi Nigel. Not an expert by any means, but the information I can find suggests .018" (18 thou) for the points gap. There are two ignition types for these engines, a magneto (old style) or a CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition). Not sure if that has points at all. To double check, the points should open at 20 degrees before Top Dead Centre. As the cam is fixed to the crankshaft, the points gap will affect the timing. Regarding the low oil shutoff, it's not mentioned in the data I have, so maybe not. You can check though. The oil level sensor should have 1 or two wires coming from the crank case. one going up to the coil primary. That wire is grounded when the oil level is too low. If you think this may be stopping the engine from starting, you can disconnect it. But make sure the oil level is correct! Enjoy...

Need to get top speed out of a 13 horse Honda motor for go kart

The larger the gear on the engine shaft and the smaller the gear on the drive axle the more speed you'll get, I hope you're thinking about top braking power for it as well lol good luck.

I have a 1985 honda elite 80 and it has no power on takeoff but once it gets up to speed it seems allright

Get a compression tester and turn it over 5 times. See if you reading is above 90-150. Anything lower it is the cylinder wear. Check for bright blue spark and maybe dirty carb too. you tube videos can help you fix either possibly.

How to install a big bor kit on a 50 cc scotter

It's a pretty big job. You need to be competent (and confident) with tools as well as diagnosing and repairing gas engines. Without knowing the details of your scooter, the overview is this: 1) Remove the carburetor (if mounted to the cylinder), exhaust pipe, cylinder head, cylinder and piston. 2) Have the cylinder bored out** to provide the correct clearance between the cylinder and the piston (if different from the scooter manufacturer's clearance this information should be provided by kit manufacturer). 3) Modify the head (more machine work to reshape the combustion chamber to work with the larger bore). 3) Reassemble. 4) Modify the fuel system (usually a carburetor) to correctly fuel the now larger displacement engine. 5) Get the new set up running and then tune it to run properly without damaging itself from an incorrect fuel mixture.

** Some cylinders are aluminum with a steel sleeve that forms the bore that piston runs in. Some are aluminum with a thin nikasil coating on the aluminum bore. These will be much more expensive to bore out as they will need to have the coating replaced after being bored out.

Just bought honda hrv had an Avital 7111L remote starter in it. The starter starts the car but when I open the door to get in the car shuts off.

Probably done by design to stop a joyrider jumping in and driving off. Contact Avital direct. FWIW, remote starters are a whole lot of trouble. Let me know when you burn out your first starter motor because it does't release, or it locks you out and won't let you start.

Hi My Honda GX160 have no response while a moving the accellerater lever.What can be the problem?

If it is an electronic accelerator pedal you have, perhaps poor contact on the wires/connector on the pedal. Lay down on the floor, and check if the connector is in it's place and no loose cables. I had same problems with brake pedal and signals from that one.

Gx610 Honda v-twin small engine one side want fire

Hi, If you did the usual testing (comp,Carb cleaning, etc.) then I would go to the electronic ignition box if it has one. I've been fooled before. Checking for spark, wire off, or plug out, isn't the same as a plug under compression , Good luck.
