Just to add, there is a thrust washer that sits above the circlip which may have slid down into the midsection, make sure that goes above the clip or the shift mechanism will go out of sync again
This is tricky if you're not experienced. You need to mark your shift shaft with a paint pen to indicate where the master spline is. Then with the shift in neutral, push the whole assembly up , turn it so the master spline is facing exactly forward, then let it drop down and install the circlip...
Good job on the seal replacement. Your seals under the water pump are weak. Honda install the with both lips facing away from the oil which eventually hold less pressure. When I install new ones I always fit back to back ie inside seal lip facing the oil and outer facing water pump. Hope this helps
Trust me it works, done it to a lot of motors. If your flywheel is badly rusted, then your crank will be too. In that case you will need to remove the powerhead to clean everything propely as well as replace the seals
You've lost me. What you need is a standard honda dual ignition switch assembly, it will plug into the engine harnesses direct, and then you need to buy 2 gauge harnesses . The dual ignition panel comes with the harness to plug into port and stbd engines
You are right Bob, either that or the flexible seal between the oil pump and the mountcase, although I have never seen one of them fail. Either way it's powerhead off
You just need the two wires you mentioned the black/ white to pos for crank. Your issue is strange because 1 an 4 should fire together from the same coil. It looks more likely to be a bad ground, or low voltage into the cdi. The fact that you have weak spark means your cdi is fine as are the...
