HI,my friend bought a 1981 Honda 185s 3wheeler for 100 bucks a while ago and we got it running than tore it all apart to restore it and after we restored it we put everything back together and it got only little spark so he got sick of it and sold it to me for the same price he bought it for. I THINK I GOT IT TO Get good spark because I cleaned the connections and stator but and has blue spark but, it wont start and it has good compression but I don't know what its a post to be at. I ALSO clean the carb and adjusted the valves and me and my buddy tried pop starting it and we even put lil gas down the head and still wont start but it started once for 3 sec's. Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem because I want to fix it and make some good money on it. Thanks

 

1st check your grounds then your spark plug, wire, coil and boot also if you did valve lash double check it and check your timing if you have good spark all you need is is air fuel and comp.

 

And fire

 

thanks I got a cdi from friend today but still wouldn't start and tried new plug and first pull it started!!!!!! even though old sparkplug had spark but apparently not under compression. thanks for help!!!

 

No problem
