Hi guys, so after two years into this build (see my other thread somewhere) I cannot get the bike to run or start correctly.
It had such a nasty kick back it broke two cases. I have done everything with the jetting from lean to rich and it simply will not start or run correctly except WOT.
I even took it to my local Honda dealer to check the timing and he got scared of it (he has a cr500) when it kicked back on him.
I have officially given up on the service Honda ignition and am looking for a complete stock ignition and going to add a lighting coil to it .
I've heard a cr250 CDI/ FLYWHEEL etc bolts on and apparently might even run better?
Does anyone know which years cr250 bolt on? thanks much!
Jeff
Service Honda Ignition (I give up!)

97 Has carb circuitry that needs some mods 1st. 92-96 are direct bolt on. 00-01 are digital and are sought after. I have a 96 in mine and it runs great.Jeff4510 wrote:appreciate that!

The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...
