Finished my 1986 S

Finished my refresh of a 86 S. Went with black and white lettering on the down tubes and added a trunk. I also fabricated a battery cover.

Got it Finished

Got the frame painted and finished the Gyro. Put a trunk on it, which does give a different look (? if I like it or not yet) Bike is starting right up, but after running it a bit it acts like is it starving and will stall at idle. New fuel line (same size ID), new filter and cleaned the fuel valve/s...

Re: Gyro - general thread

I bought one of those carbs and the one I got was a darn near exact match for the original. It worked fine. But I also got the original rebuilt and stayed with it. Can you clarify the "good oil pump flow" comment. Is this with the engine running and the oil line disconnected? How much oil ...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Still can't find the fuel valve sticker. If anyone can take a picture of one and post it, I would appreciate it.

Re: Gyro - general thread

Dont know what changed, but the scooter is now running very well. Starts right up and idles nice. I am thinking the tinkering with the bistarter connections may have done it. Thanks for the assistance.

Re: Gyro - general thread

Thanks Mike. Will try it. I checked the bystarter circuit and all checks as ok. Had to use starting fluid on it today, and did a little adjustment on the carb. It then started on its own (warm?). I still have a bit of idle issues. It will idle for about 30 seconds and then dies. Runs great when it i...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Still having some carb issues. All passages are clean ( used carb cleaner and passage brushes on every opening), fuel needle is clean, float does not have a hole in it. When I lift the float bowl, it closes off the flow from the fuel line). New bystarter valve that was tested outside the carb and it...

Re: Gyro - general thread

THanks. Electrically, the bystarter checks out, but when hooked up to 12v, I don't measure any movement. I also found there was no hold down on the bystarter, so it appears someone took it out in the past. I fabricated a hold down to fit in the groove and bolt to the holes on the carb, but if anyone...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Thanks. Got it started today. Runs good, but if it dies, it will not start without starting fluid. The carb has been cleaned and all passages are open. I checked the Ohms of the bystarter, and it matches what is in the manual. But how do you know if it is working? I also have the oil pump hooked up ...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Good day working on the Gyro. Got all the electrical parts back on and connected (thanks RideRed). Starter turns over, blinkers work, brake light works. Oil light works. Only thing not on is the headlight (light is new). Does the headlight work if the motor is off? Tomorrow, I tackle the brakes. Sho...

Re: Gyro - general thread

Hi. new to the page and to honda Gyro's. Picked up a 86 S from a friend. I have seen it run, but he said it just stopped, so he sold it to me for $70. I have started the diagnosis process and with a full battery, have no signs of power other than I get a 7v at the horn. Power to and through the fuse...
