It took a while but I finally got the time to get back to Iowa with the trailer. Boy I forgot how well my dad took care of things. I would have to say this is...

After it started running on both cylinders did you turn the gas back on ? If you turned the gas back on it probably filled the carbs again and repeated the...
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I just purchased a 79 400A, runs fine in nuetral, idles and revs good, as soon as I drop it into gear the engine shuts...
Maybe the kickstand kill switch is staying engaged, which would kill the bike when you put it in gear. There is definitely one for the side-stand, I'm not...
Maybe there is a transmission problem , and it kills itself for safety reasons. Just a thought :-( Have a blessed day :) Alan Brickey, owner Norlina Computers...
Howdy, Just bought a beautiful '80 CM400a loaded with original Hondaline accessories, the fella who owned it took fantastic care of it. (Photos are uploaded...
I thought those lights were designed to operate that way as a safety feature. -Robert Turpin To: Hondamatic_400@yahoogroups.com From: pooh6913@... Date:...
Hi Robert, Thanks for the response. The 3 CM400a's I drove before this one all didn't do that. The bike starts with the side kickstand down which I thought...

If it weren't snowy and cold here I'd go uncover my 400 and check to see if the turn signal lights stay on, I don't really drive at night that much so I can't...
My 81 CM 400 A starts with the kick stand up or down if the transmission is in neutral ... From: Mel <pooh6913@...> Subject: [Hondamatic_400] Re: 80...
Someone else nailed it, the bike will start as long as it's in neutral, regardless of the kickstands' position. However, the side-stand switch was designed to...
Guess I fit the "geezer" mold (63 & counting), so here: Turn signal units that stay on all the time usually, if not always, have dual-filament bulbs. One...
