Vent, that makes sense.
Thanks for the reply

Can any one explain the fuel lines on a 85 gyro. You have the petcock on the bottom of the tank with a fuel line attached. Then theres a fuel line out of the bottom of the tank that bypasses the petcock. Im confused.

Got another gyro problem. Bought a gyro on ebay for parts. what i really wanted on it was the carb cover the black fenders for the golden gyro. Turns out the parts bike isn't a parts bike after all. The parking brake was locked up so the rear wheels wouldn't turn. It wouldn't start. I found out that...

Thanks vintagegarage for your help and interest. I won't have a chance to mess with it until my days off on friday and Saturday. But appreciate your input

You think being at 90# is a problem?

Does any one know what the compression should be on a 85 gyro?
I thought maybe the compression was low and thats why it wouldn't start. When I checked it, it was around 90psi.

I tried with the stock carb, then bought 2 new carbs on ebay. All the same, no start, not even a putt. I bought a replacement carb on ebay for my other gyro and it worked great

Still can't get the golden gyro to start. New gas, petcock, gas lines. Getting spark.
if I put a little gas in the sparkplug hole, it starts . Tried 2 different carbs on it and same thing. Could it be anything with the reed valves?

First step is admitting you have a problem. Just bought this gyro for $102 on ebay. Only problem is its in texas and I'm in new york. I really didn't think this one through. I put it on uship, no bids yet. Hope i don't get soaked on this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/83-84-Honda-Gyro-/231629396584?ru...

Does any one have actual picture of the bracket that holds down the battery and also holds the fuse holder. Its no 9 on diagram. Never saw one , except in this dia

Changed gas, gas lines, petcock and fuel filter. Still won't start. Will check for spark, then the carb next

Hooked up the battery cables and fuse line, also a key ignition. Good news - no blown fuses Bad news- the ebay battery I bought months ago is crap. It was pretty much dead. Had it on charger overnight and still not strong enough to turn engine. tried jumping battery and can turn engine over , but wi...

Gotta wonder what's wrong with people who like to randomly cut wires. Yeah it makes you wonder if there was a reason. Most of the time a cut wire isn't just done precariously, it may serve a purpose and until you are sure it was not done to save the bike from burning down do not just re connect it....

Hello Luckyrabbit... :hi: I am holding a '86 TG50M hostage in the garage. It is strictly parts bike now. You need something from it ? Like for instance, the rear rack ?...don't see one on "Golden Boy" The ignition switch is janky, but works with a screwdriver... :sad: Hey Motormike Thanks...
