hey guys got the xr to start but it wont idle and doesn't seem to rev all the way out any suggestions seems to me like its getting to much fuel cause if i turn off fuel it will pick up in revs right before it runs out of fuel any other thoughts would be helpful tho as its sending me insane trying to get it to run :'(

well ended up being a bent valve fixed that problem now my spark plug has died can someone tell me what plug i need as the one stated in the manual which is NGK C7HS i cant seem to get and the one that my local Honda shop told me to use a C7HSA is too small (just falls in the plug hole)  :'(

well think i have finally found the problem its compression got my old boy to show me how to properly use a pair or vernier calipers today and turns outs the barrel i have with the standard piston is at 48mm. does anyone know of where i can get my hands on a reasonably priced over sized piston kit or a barrel and piston and rings that will let me get the old girl running again that wont cost me and arm and a leg cheers

So have spark up to where coil plugs in but not at plug or plug lead. It's a 77 model so condensor is attached to coil can it be taken off and replace or is it easier to replace whole coil if q does anyone have a coil they are selling??

The motor was stripped down cleaned and put back together car by is clean no blockages it had spark the other day pulled motor out to take off head to check valves and now back in frame and has no spark at plug. Has spark coming from stator wire when grounded to motor( orange in colour) but not at plug once all hooked back up.
