Re: turn signals and headlight

The headlight only works when the engine is running. The turn signals is probably a weak battery.

Re: Bad Rectifier

Could be either OR both. Troubleshoot it. The service manual has the procedures in it.

No, you want an Air Cooled Oil injection oil.

Re: 85 just rode now won't start

The headlight is NOT suppose to come on until the engine is running, so there is nothing wrong there.

Check the battery and charging system. The checks are in the service manual.

Re: Trying to start 1983 Honda Aero 50 -- running out of ide

She'll start with 60 PSI. If you haven't, put some oil down the cylinder and recheck compression... rings may be stuck. Is the air filter in place? Search "barn find" in Wikipedia for general guidelines on getting dead bikes going. My 1985 Aero will not start at 60 PSI so I doubt his will.

Some Sprees run at 70 PSI and most will not.

Did you do the compression test with the throttle at WOT?

Re: Longer rear brake cable?

I found a slightly longer cable on flea-bay for my Aero 125 when I moved the rear brake from the floor to the lefthand handlebar. I messaged the seller for the cable length.

Well with next to no response for this ride, I'm guessing it is dead for this weekend anyway.

The size of the engine has nothing to do with the belt fitting or not.

Re: Problem with clutch, tire rotates at idle

Generally a turn wheel that can be stopped by grabbing it is not an issue.

Re: what causes this to happen?

Not everyone can afford a $125 compression tester or needs one for that matter. *, I had a Mercury Marine test with no hose that was like $35 back in the day but is around $60 today. FYI, I have found if you are getting the varied readings you claimed, that it is almost always a dirty or bad schrade...

Re: Problem with clutch, tire rotates at idle

How are you measuring the RPM of the engine?
