Not sure if this is the final solution other than it got the problem sort of fixed. I disconnected the yellow/red wire coming out from the solenoid (looks like its the same wire going to the start button) (THANKS DJM!). Now it starts but only with a kick. Maybe the start button is not wired correctl...

This one has me perplexed. Working on an early (1962) CA77 Dream I bought about a month ago. When the key is turned to ANY position (except "0"), the starter rolls over (or turns on). So I have to turn the key back to "0" to make it stop. I believe the starter motor should only turn over if you pres...

I'm working on an early ('62) CA77 Dream. The throttle cable was in bad shape so I bought a replacement off eBay. Looks identical to original but its too long.

Neither end of the new cable wo...

It's slides slightly but then stops. I've cleaned it very well and felt around for any burrs, etc. Feels really smooth on bo...

This question may be too much for a forum. I bought my first Dream: a 1962, 305 CA77. I'm not a true mechanic so my knowledge is limited. The compression (the carb off and the plugs removed) reads around 85 on both sides (also added a little Marvels Mystery Oil to both plug holes). Does this mean I ...

I'm one week into working on a 62 Honda Dream CA77. I'm new to this so a question has popped up. I bought a new battery online that is identical to the one that was in it (clear plastic with blue top, rectangular and thin). It didn't come with acid so I bought some from local auto parts store. Can I...
