Hi is there anyone on here who has worked on the F510 as I have a gearbox that will not change gear. I am going to take the handlebar setup off to see if anything can be seen
A friel
nd has suggested that I drain the oil and put 50/50 red diesel and light oil that is hot to see what that can do after a couple of days
Any other suggestions welcome

There is no oil alert switch on the engine so will fit a new coil
Needs a good clean before doing anything

I would like to know the airgap needed when fitting an electronic coil on a GX 120 Honda Engine
The engine just cutout and have checked all connoctions and all seem OK so assume it is the coil
Any other reasons for the sudden cutout which happened as far away from the shed as possible with spadelug wheels on, what a job to get the m/c under cover
