Honda CG Won't Start

[BikeNewbie]

Hello,

I went to take my Bike out after not using it for around a month. It started, but then cut out. The neutral light comes up but when I push the starter button it just makes a clicking noise.

I have charged the battery but is still just clicking?

Would anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

It only has an Electric Start.

Drain the carb, clean the spark plug, try another battery.

In that order!

Have you tried bump starting it?

Failing that use the pedals

Charging the battery and it still clicks... jump start from a car/bump start.

Drain the float bowl and let it fill up.

Clicked over and over is sign of dead battery....

Bump start it, if that doesn't work replace the battery. If that doesn't work then i'd be looking for fueling/sparking issues. For example not running the bike has probably allowed shit in the tank/carbs to settle and your getting poor fuel flow etc..

I took the Bike for a ride after Bump Starting it and it run fine. Soon as I got home and turned the engine of and tried starting it again, It's clicking again.

So you need a new battery then!

[bikertomm]

Fairly certain I know what the problem is, you don't need a new battery!

It's your starter motor.. Get a little bit of wood and a hammer and gently tap it, then turn ignition on and hit the button.

The brushes could be sticking so a little tap just free's them up, it's exactly what fixed mine.

Hope this helps!

He's just been riding the bike so that should of freed the starter motor if it was sticking I would of thought.

[bikertomm]

Nah, they still play up! Seems to be a bit hit or miss, once I've had a nice rideout it starts on the button fine, but say then you came out to the bike the next day, 'Click'

I'm fairly certain this is the problem, may need a clean.

But worth getting the hammer out first before a new battery

lol

Put in 4th/5th gear and rock back n forth?

Take starter off and have a look, open it and clean it.

[BikeNewbie]

Yeah it's doing the same as what the Honda CG is doing in that video.

Should I follow that video and try and fix it myself? If it's an easy fix that is.

I will also try the things people have suggested as well.

Thanks.

[BikeNewbie]

There is 3 bolts to get it undone but do I need to clean it with anything once I take it off?

[P.]

[BikeNewbie]

Is it an easy job?

I will have a go and reply back here in a while.

Could also be a faulty starter soleniod.

That's connected to the battery isn't it?

[BikeNewbie]

Well I tried to remove the starter motor, But after removing the 3 bolts it still wasn't budging.

Is there more bolts?

Thanks Paddy, I will try and get it working, If not then I will get back to you on that one mate.
