you could but I strongly suggest that you use the correct oil as bikes need special oils for reliability.
all it takes is a call to a honda service dealer to get the correct information

On most of these engines since they are air cooled you need to have all of the metal shielding that came with the engine on it. These help direct the flow of air from the flywheel fins to cool the engine. You may have to remove the metal shields and clean the fins if you have an older motor that has been run in really dirty areas. If air can't flow between the fins it can't cool. I will mention oil level just because oil also helps cool the engine how ever most of these engines will not run if the oil is low due to an oil pressure switch that prevents it from running if the oil level is too low.

check oil level .low oil causes vacuum in the carb, causing fuel starving .
also check capasator has not blown in generator .

Make sure oil is at proper level as spark is cut off when oil is below level for "x "amount of time.

Hi, check the oil level. If low the oil guardian is cutting the spark. Regards Phil.

Is the ignition switch turned to "ON" . Is it full of oil?

check the oil level and top it up its most liky low and low oil shutdown is kicking in

if it still wont run try checking main jet , then try cleaning out carb and replacing plug

then check for tight in / ex valve s

cheers

Hi,I have an Ingersol compressor with a Honda 5.5 and found they have a low oil shut off switch.Make sure your oil level is up to normal full.
