Help me find out what my Honda 250cc engine came from!

[DKG40]

howdy guys

stumbled across your forum and thought you can help me out

i picked this engine up from a simpleton on ebay, and all i got was "its off a honda 250cc bike"

Now it will be making its way onto my go kart, but i need to know how to wire it up, i have the little brain to go with it, and the coil, but i cant figure out how to get it to actually run...

A wiring diagram would be great, but to get that i need to know what bike it came off, here is a pic of it, it has no kick but a starter motor...

any help greatly apprietiated!

cool, brilliant

but at first glance, im no electrician, i just cant figure bits out, for one where the hell is the alternator on this engine lolol

from looking i have marked the bits i have, but what needs ot go where to make it go? meaning the wiring from the CDI unit!

thanks for any help at all!

The white plug on the floor in the pic is the feed from the alternator. The Superdreams had electronic ignition, so you need to wire-up the CDI but the 400's are different to the 250's in some way since you cannot exchange the CDI's.

[Pete.]

If you have the CDi and the coils and a battery, you should be able to get it running no problem.

Well heres some pics of the wiring, i did notice now that there are 2 other wires coming out on other side, im pritty sure those are the cut off wires...

so here is what i have to play with, everything clips up apart form what i have left...

Coming from engine we have 3 wires...

Green
Grey
Pink

Then from the CDI Unit....

Red
Black
Green

oh and a big cable coming from the starter motor, guessing that needs to go on the 12v+

[Pete.]

Your "CDi" is actually the regulator/rectifier that does the charging.

ah so im missing a important bit lol

[DKG40]

well i got the all important CDI unit and everything hooks up, starter works yet still no spark...

hmmm

[Pete.]

The metal bar that goes through the coil must be securely bolted to the engine. It should actually be bolted both ends but one should get you a spark.
