Here are the Honda ignition tests .. Don't do the CDI test it isn't a reliable test unless you have a Sanwa sp10d or sp15d tester .. Sounds like someone wired the neutral to ground Here is the neutral test ..

The neutral works by ground , sounds like someone grounded the wire somewhere and you'll have to trace the wires to find where..

It"s alive, finally after for ever the trx is fixed .I found a bad connector on the stator to reg. wires I think there was more than one problem along and along bettween the choke spark plug and a wire. somehow I got it started, running crappy tho, I had rebuilt the carb before the bike completly stopped running , I took it off the choke was stuck open closed it put the carb back in started and ran great I was beside myself.S tarted to put everything back together got a good way along tryed to start it again ,no go ,i say what the f is going on ,no spark again, so I finally went out and bought a spark tester instead of trying to hold the plug against the head took the air box and stuff back off started wiggelingwires and connectors that I might have moved putting it back together while trying to start it and that is how I found the baaaaaaddd wire .thanks for everyones input Man I've learned alot from this adventure. I could go on but Iguess I won't [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
