My mate has a 74 XL175 with no spark, he has been told it will not go unless it has a fully charged 6 volt battery connected. Apparantly it is only this model that has this ignition system. Can any one advise me on this? We have drank beer n discussed this but no result, just an empty fridge.

great result ;D now it doesnt matter that the scoot dont go...too pissed to ride anyway :o

Yes that is correct i had a 1976 honda ct 125 ,had the same issues, they dont have their own exciter coil in the ignition so the 6v battery just gives it a jumpstart so to speak .Hope that helps.

when you guys sober up,remove headlite globe,headlite switch to hi beam,with a flat battery in situ it should fire up,you will have brought the lighting coils to bear,(the excitement bit :D),presume its the orange/black model,later blue ones were more self generating from memory,& i remember the CT's being agriculteral models,didn't need a battery either??, :P

CT125 have never needed a battery to run, CT90 did. From someone that sold them OK
