Just bought honda hrv had an Avital 7111L remote starter in it. The starter starts the car but when I open the door to get in the car shuts off.

Probably done by design to stop a joyrider jumping in and driving off. Contact Avital direct. FWIW, remote starters are a whole lot of trouble. Let me know when you burn out your first starter motor because it does't release, or it locks you out and won't let you start.

Hi, I have a 1981 Honda g400 motor with no spark. I'm going through the system and need to know the points gap please.Also is this old enough to have low oil cut out? Thanks Nigel.

Hi Nigel. Not an expert by any means, but the information I can find suggests .018" (18 thou) for the points gap. There are two ignition types for these engines, a magneto (old style) or a CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition). Not sure if that has points at all. To double check, the points should open at 20 degrees before Top Dead Centre. As the cam is fixed to the crankshaft, the points gap will affect the timing. Regarding the low oil shutoff, it's not mentioned in the data I have, so maybe not. You can check though. The oil level sensor should have 1 or two wires coming from the crank case. one going up to the coil primary. That wire is grounded when the oil level is too low. If you think this may be stopping the engine from starting, you can disconnect it. But make sure the oil level is correct! Enjoy...

Honda 5,5 pony motor with electric start need to put anoyher ignition switch in a different place, put different back on and now it has no fire both keys are in run position

Year make and model would help. Initially it seems like an anti-theft immobilizer issue. Check on the dash when firing to see if any emblem that either looks like a key or says security is illuminated during crank. If this is the issue, you have options. Google DEI (directed electronics) 556uw. This is an immobilizer bypass solution.

Hi My Honda GX160 have no response while a moving the accellerater lever.What can be the problem?

If it is an electronic accelerator pedal you have, perhaps poor contact on the wires/connector on the pedal. Lay down on the floor, and check if the connector is in it's place and no loose cables. I had same problems with brake pedal and signals from that one.

Gx610 Honda v-twin small engine one side want fire

Hi, If you did the usual testing (comp,Carb cleaning, etc.) then I would go to the electronic ignition box if it has one. I've been fooled before. Checking for spark, wire off, or plug out, isn't the same as a plug under compression , Good luck.
