1997 Honda Accord SE What would cause it to suddenly not want to start when cranking ?
Several factors could cause a 1997 Honda Accord SE to suddenly not start when cranking:
1. **Battery**: Check the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are tightly connected. A weak or dead battery could prevent the engine from starting.
2. **Fuel**: Verify that there is enough fuel in the tank. If the fuel pump is failing or there are issues with the fuel system, it could cause starting problems.
3. **Ignition System**: Faulty ignition components such as the spark plugs, ignition coil, or distributor cap could prevent the engine from starting.
4. **Starter Motor**: If the starter motor is failing or the connections are loose, it may not engage properly to start the engine.
5. **Engine Timing**: Issues with the timing belt or timing chain could affect the engine's ability to start.
6. **Engine Sensors**: Malfunctioning engine sensors such as the crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor could disrupt the starting process.
7. **Electrical Issues**: Problems with the electrical system, such as a faulty ignition switch or wiring issues, could prevent the engine from starting.
If you're unable to diagnose the issue yourself, it's recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect your vehicle to determine the exact cause of the starting problem.
1985 Honda CB 700 SC Nighthawk hydraulic clutch hard to pull
If you've already bled the hydraulic clutch system, and you're still experiencing difficulty pulling the lever with no apparent kinks or obstructions in the lines, there are a few other potential issues to consider:
- Master Cylinder or Slave Cylinder Issues: Check the master cylinder and slave cylinder for any signs of leaks or damage. If either of these components is faulty, it can lead to a loss of hydraulic pressure. Replace or rebuild the faulty cylinder if needed.
- Clutch Fluid Contamination: Ensure that the clutch fluid is clean and free from contaminants. Contaminated fluid can affect the performance of the hydraulic system. If the fluid is discolored or contains debris, consider flushing the entire system and refilling it with fresh clutch fluid.
- Air in the System: Despite bleeding, there might still be air trapped in the system. Ensure that you've thoroughly bled the system, starting from the master cylinder and working your way down to the slave cylinder. Sometimes, it may take multiple bleeding sessions to completely remove all air bubbles.
- Clutch Cable Adjustment (if applicable): If your motorcycle has a hydraulic clutch, cable adjustment may not be applicable. However, if it uses a cable-operated clutch, check for proper cable tension and adjust it according to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Clutch Components Wear: Check the clutch components such as the clutch plates and springs for wear. Worn-out components may result in poor clutch engagement. If necessary, replace the clutch components.
If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it might be worthwhile to consult with a professional motorcycle mechanic. They can conduct a thorough inspection and diagnose the problem accurately. It's important to address clutch issues promptly to ensure safe and reliable operation of your motorcycle.
2014 honda odyssey 3.4 code p0360 won't start
P0360 is an issue with the ignition coils and the related systems. There is an issue with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) not detecting a signal to one or more of the coils. The engine might not be getting the signal to fire the spark plugs and that is why it won't start. You will need to get a good mechanic or auto-electrician to look at this.
How to remove tank on a honda eg5000cl generator
This is reasonably easy to do. Does the Generator run? Start the generator as it's running turn the fuel Petcock to the Off position. The generator should stall and stop running. This helps safely empty the fuel line and carburettor between the tank and the engine.
Disconnect the fuel line from the petcock tap and plug the ends to stop dirt getting in. On each corner of the tank itself there should be a bolt going through the ribbed edge and a rubber spacer. remove these 4 bolts and the tank should lift up and out. On some generators you might have to remove some trim panels to make it easier.
Refitting is the exact opposite of this.

Install a new stock spark plug. Clean the air filter then remove and clean the carb. Drain the gas tank, clean out rust and any trash, and remove the fuel valve to clean the internal tank filters. Now install an in-line fuel filter in addition to the tank filter.
What follows is just in case it will help out.

There
is a proper way to start the engine. Four controls are on your bike to assist
in starting. Below are generic instructions.
- The choke, used
when the engine is cold. Pull the red knob for choke.
- The " Hot
Start " Lever, used when the engine is hot. Pull the lever to lean
the fuel mix when the engine has been running.
- The de-compression
lever, always used.
- The throttle, used
to prime the cylinder, (power valve).
Don't
kick, instead, push
the kick lever downward. You will feel the back pressure as the piston is going
upward on the compression stroke to the point the pressure is great enough that
the kick lever "locks up". You are very close to TDC. NOW, pull in
the de-compression lever. Push the kick lever a little bit more to get the
piston past TDC. Now release the de-compression lever. Give the throttle a 1/4 turn then let it snap closed. A diaphragm,
(Power valve), in the carb gives a shot of gas when this is done. DO NOT
do this multiple times because you will flood the engine. Leave the
throttle closed when kicking. A flooded engine will often
backfire. Now give a strong kick through the full sweep of the kick start
lever. Quickly get your foot off the kick lever at the end of the kick to avoid
any chance of "kickback" from the kick lever. This happens in the
case of a misfire, aka > backfire. It can be very painful, and can even
break a leg. I am serious about that. Repeat the process (but without the
throttle priming), for six kicks. After six kicks go ahead and twist the
throttle again for a second priming. A good battery, a clean spark plug, a
clean carb and clean air filter will also aid in starting. Note that not
all carbs have a power valve. When a power valve is not present you should crack
the throttle open only 1/8 inch from closed on each kick.
