dead battery loose connections blown ING fuse Blown fusible links

Hey David, First thing... HAve your battery checked.. O'Reilly's or AutoZone can test the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) of your battery.. amperage is what starts your bike... voltage only will not help..once you KNOW the battery is good, its time to start...checking fuses and wiring connections... Honda CB750 Nighthawk Repair Manual 1991 1999

Get a shop manual for you bike, read it and run through the troubleshooting guide.

I would suggest you check the wiring loom around the headstock as you were able to cause symptoms when moving the handlebars. You may have a broken wire inside the loom so you will have to open it to inspect it.

ATLANTA - Advice about FEMA aid is floating around Facebook targeting people who went without power in Irma's aftermath. The posts reads, "If you went 2 or more days without power fema is refunding $250 you just need to call the fema number. SHARE let your friends know." In Irma's wake, more than a million people lost power, some for several days in the metro area. That would make millions eligible for this aid if this post is legit. 11Alive's team of verify researchers went straight to the source to get the answers. FEMA said "It is untrue that FEMA is offering a $250 refund for Georgians who went without power for 2 or more days. Individuals and businesses in the designated counties of Camden, Chatham and Glynn can begin the disaster assistance process by registering online at DisasterAssistance.gov, registering by using the FEMA App or by calling 800-621-3362, which is video relay service accessible. Georgia survivors who are deaf, hard of hearing or who have difficulty speaking may call TTY 800-462-7585. Helpline hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time, seven days a week until further notice." We can VERIFY that the $250 refund claim is FALSE.

Hey Steve, This issue is TOO hard to diagnose on-line... there are way too many variables to deal with to be able to give you a competent answer(s) that MAY - or may not - help you.. Please take this machine to a QUALIFIED Professional... they will/should be able to help you. sorry...

Check the ignition switch.

Sounds like an alternator/generator issue.

fuel flow problem float level problem incorrect jet size for high rpms

79, is that an alternator or generator? I had a 77 XL, it had the generator. Try charging the battery up then see if it starts, if not you'll have to check the connections at the battery, also load test the battery, make sure it;s good. Just my opinion, but if it's 50 or above, never let you air cooled bike idle that long, you could overheat it and and cause major problems even cylinder failure.

I'd start by checking all the connections, make sure they're clean and tight. after that I'd start looking for a relay that is heating up.

What kind of bike ? Make, Model & Year ? No, the Battery Red Positive goes to the main fuse before anything. Follow it to the Starter solenoid probably & there is a Main Fuse sometimes on the solenoid. If not then there is a smaller red wire that leads from there to the main fuse. Most bikes have a number of other fuses in a separate box elsewhere on the bike But not too far from the main.

You have this question in the MOTORCYCLE category. Maybe be better off elsewhere. I had an issue with an older LIFESTEPPER. After taking the cover off the lower section and reseating the two connectors, problem solved

low cc engines if spark is at the plug not much left to replacefuel delivery blockage loss of compression is the timing out

have you tried a new lead, cap, coil
