Honda amigo wont start

[Peter van Geelen]

Did you set the ignition timing correctly and it could be fuel/air mixture. But if you set it to default, then i'd have a look at the ignition timing

[Kurt]

well we have opened the cover on the left side, but there were no letters T or F.
I will doublecheck again and make a picture of it.

On weekend we made a try again, it run for few minutes with high rpm, and not clean always like interuption, and very long start procedure. After that nothing no restart, also adjusted the idle gas and air/fuel mixture. have no more ideas...

Did you check the ignition timing?

[Kurt]

We tried to check, but had no idea, after we opened the leftcover we saw the "flywhell" with T and F, but i dont know what to check and how.. iam sorry for the technical knowled for 4-stroke engines..

the contact point have to open on the F mark, when you turn the flywheel to left and right on the F you should see the contact points open and close.

That, and please refer to the section named "Breaker points" in a previous post.

It is always hard to make a good explanation but I give it a try.

It runs for a wilde and than it stops....
Ok... Some "golden rules"

1 check the gaskets and connections of your carburature and manifold, make sure that there are no faulty airleaks what so ever. The enigine makes a lot of troubles and does not run correctly.
Also make sure that the flat flanges are clean and have no scratches.

2 make sure that you use the correct sparkplug and cable and make sure that there are shortcircuits.
Also check the breakerpoints, clean them or replace them.

3 check the connections of your electrical wires, specially the black wire to your electrical system that fires your sparkplug.

I assume it works. You're welcome and I will close this topic now.
