[Honda-C70] Re: Little Direction?

 

Hi Jason-
There is a fuse in a plastic connector/case near the battery. You should be able to access it with the battery in. Hopefully you did not start or run it without the battery in...if you did, you most likely blew some bulbs. The battery on these acts as a voltage regulator.

Hope this helps. good luck.

The guy told me he had it sitting in his garage for the past 2 years, but it fired right up on the first kick. After I got it home I cleaned out the carb, bought a new air filter, put in new gas, changed out the oil, and bought a new battery. The thing purrs like a kitten, but my problem is coming from my electrical. When I put the battery on, the signals and taillight worked fine, but no headlight. I fooled with it for a bit then decided to wait till the next morning to dig into the problem. When I walked out the next morning, the battery was dead, signals don't work, but taillights and headlight work fine. I don't understand what's going on. It is like when the battery is in and charged the headlight has a short, but when it's dead it acts as a connector and the headlight works fine. Any ideas anybody? I've heard there is a fuse on the bike but i can't find it, can anyone point me in the right direction with that as well?
