Hey, I have a honda xl 100s 1983 model. I bought it used and not running a few months back for a good price.

So far I removed the left engine cover and discovered that the bolt on the flywheel was missing and also that the woodruff key had sheared apart. I replaced both.

At this point I was getting a good spark, but no fuel.

I then opened the carb. Sure enough, it was very gunky/gummy. Fixed.

Now there is a spark, the spark plug is wet with fuel, but nothing happens after I screw the plug in and try to start it. No firing at all.

Anyone have an idea on what the next step should be? I'm very much an amateur at mechanics, so if I missed something obvious, shout it out.

I have a 2008 Acura TL, how do I find out if it's included in the recall. According to recalls information possible engine fire and wiper blades could stop working. I bought the car used from an independent dealership, would I still get a letter from Honda. I don't have an Acura near me, or any number I can call? Any help, thanks.

Hi everyone! I have a 2000 Honda Civic SI and the RPM's are running pretty low- below 1000. My check engine light is on. I took it to a mechanic and he said that his machine is reading that its the oxygen sensor- he changed both (twice to make sure one wasn't faulty) and the light is still on. The machine at Autozone gave a code for o2 sensor or vacuum leak. I'm guessing its a vacuum leak? How can I check and fix it? People have told me to spray the hoses with wd40 or H20- but then someone said the fluid would be sucked into the engine and hurt the car or catch it on fire. Isn't there a vacuum sealant that you can buy to fix it or should I change the hoses? I am pretty good at figuring things out- but I just need some guidance. Any help would be greatly appreciated! So-
1) is it the 02 sensor making my car idle low?
2) Do you think its a vacuum leak?
3) How can I check my vacuum hoses?
4) How do I fix my vacuum hoses?
5) What else could make my car idle low?

I Got a 1989 Honda Civic Hatch Back And i pulled the stock D15B2 Carburetor motor out and im dropping in a D15B7 Fuel Injected motor and none of the wires match up. am i gonna have to buy a whole new wire harness??? i have the new ecu to the new motor. and will the fuel line connect to it no problem or what???

If anything else im forgetting plz inform me what exactly i need to do for this motor to run in this car i already have the motor in but nothing connected. and let me know what i need and where i can get it from and for how much to fire this car back up. Thanks !
well the old engine had 2 fuel injectors and the rest was carbed. so i know it has a intank fuel pump.

Every year we give 19 billion in foreign aid. For them to do with what they please and no strings attached. Seems to me that we should put a stipulation on that money. If that money is to be used for things such as infrastructure, food and such, they should be made to buy any of that stuff that is available here in the country that is helping them. For instance, when these countries buy new ambulances, police cars, fire trucks or general government vehicles, they should be required to buy those from GM, Ford or Chrysler, not Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi or Honda. I have been to many of these countries in my military career and not one uses our goods except Israelm but Israel doesnt need our money. Heavy equipment for the building of bridges, roads and such should be bought from CAT, John Deere, CASE or another U.S. manufacturer. Foods should also be bought from us. Just a simple idea that will not go through. Good idea or not?

Hi,

I have a 1970 Honda CB350 that doesn't run right. It was given to me to keep if I could get it running, and so I worked onm it a while and got it to run. But there is one problem...When I start it, only the left piston fires, leaving the right one not firing at all.

So I took the spark plug out on the right side, held it in my hand and kicked the engine over, and it didn't shock me at all. So, I assumed that the coil was bad and bought one on ebay. Well, days go by and I finally got it in the mail, I put it on the bike, hooked it all back up, and started it. Well guess what---same thing. Only the left side fired. So I cleaned all of the connections that hook up to the coil, and tried starting it again. But when I started it this time, both pistons fired together for about 5 secs, and the right one quit firing again. So I killed the engine, started it again, and held my hand around the spark plug cap, and felt for a shock, and only got a good shock here and there. Help! PLZ!

I have (I think a 5 hp) tescumseh side shaft go kart motor.The engine will run fine but the carb does not the original carb it was so messed up I traded a friend and got a honda carb and it works except a little space were it connets to the motor, but it tries to fire when pulling it but does not start.When I blowed on the gas tank to get the fuel pumping it fires up and reaches hi revs then dies so if u have any help on try to save this motor please help any comments will help.I have another motor to put on it but I dont have the money to buy a sproket and clutch so im trying to make do thanks>P.S.the carb is clean as far as i can tell and the floats are not sticking.

Got a '87 CBR 600 F1, original engine burned way way too much oil. Was all set to do a rebuild when a mechanic at the Honda dealer offered me an F1 engine he had used in a go-kart he built, but had removed it cos it wasn't powerful enough for his creation. It's been in a heated basement for 2 years. The owner of the dealership vouches for the guy (who vouches for the engine) and he's never steered me wrong in the 4 years I've known him. Bought the engine for 0, picking it up tomorrow morning (Wed). Any thoughts on what I might want to do to this engine (short of taking it apart, already did that to the old one, want to get riding again fast) to help it get fired up again? Anything I SHOULDN'T do? Relatively new to engines. Thanks!
