yay a another bike hongdou 125, chinese rep of a cg125. my bro got it to learn to ride on, 2 years ago. its been stood ever since, and will not start, so gunna be a project my mum is moving and so they have no need for it (i think hes gunna try and use my step dads kymco 125 instead) so i got it given, just need to get it fired up. know for sure ill get it running and find a bit of open land and learn to ride with gears, then decide if im MOTing and taxing it depending on insurance price. otherwise it goes up for sale did enjoy the 3 mile hike though pushing it home (well mostly pushed i did sit on it for some downhill)
Make sure ya let us know how it compares against the cg itself, be interesting to line up any downsides an see how well they did. .
cheers mate, not sure i could realyl give any thoughts, as ive not been anywhere near a proper cg need to work out the way to start it up before i can attempt to find out why it wont start, its got ignition switch (barrel isnt there) ,kill switch, fuel tap, choke. all of which i dont know the proper way they should be when it come to firing up if anyone has a manual/workshop info for one id be for ever grateful
These bikes have been around for like ages, reckon they would'nt be so greedy long the copyright issue, if they made your honghdo near the same lines might want to see if the cg's could help, there's generally a few free pdf files knocking about. .
Visordown.com (old posts on hongdo 125 wiring issues), Ebookdig - managed to download (free!) entire pdf 128 page manual for cg125, Rapid file share.mk. .
brilliant, honda cg125 manual, im not sure how close it will be, but im sure its not far off, thanks for that
Colour coding prob.not the same an think the chinese may be a bit flexi, just compare ala this leads to this. ^ ^ ^ an that's just a bit I pulled up,theres loads more.mk.
thanks mark your a star, ill keep looking for honda cg stuff rather than hongdou have been on the phone to my step dad, says it should fire up without electrics, one quick thing is, is the battery 6volt or 12? im reading 6 atm his advice is rip the tank off and clean it out, clean out the carb then pop in some fresh fuel and see if it will start? any thoughts?
Sound advice cleaning tank/carb.up ( +fuel filter,possibly check exhaust is clear,air filter fresh,no blockages in a/box,carb.adjustment- ,idle,airscrew,float height,needle position,throttle cable adjustment,all wiring properly connected,replace fuse as matter of course,make sure wiring unhindered/not trapped-kinked-frayed (+esp. free to move as running can cause intermitttant prob.) but starting without electrics,eeeerr-nit., No electrics mate = no spark. ., Not really into 4's man,have'nt had a cg in over 25 years/quite frankly do 'nt know voltage., Hope little helps.bedtime/night.mk. .
man your amazing cheers, hmm makes sense re: spark lol got tank off, gunna empty it out, take off the tap check the filter in there, probably change it. gunna whip off the airbox (hopefully) and have a butchers then move on to the carb. gunna try and get that all off so i can decide what i need to buy tomoz
erm rofl up ended the tank, opened the tap, not a drip came out, would explain a lot think gunna put it all back together, then tomoz wheel it up to the garage and slap in some fuel, see if the damn thing will fire at all
If fuel has dryed up,it will leave residue - which can either end up a gummy and or varnish like substance, make sure all! your carb.internals are well clean as this can effect proper operation of your floats/jets,etc. I'd check your pipes/replace as a matter of course as over time will degrade ,some chinese products are not known for their quality............ , I'd check your choke is operating, o.k., 1 thing alot don't check is your filler cap vent - Petrol won't enter carb.if theres no air going into p.tank to replace it!, So if your electrics are checked?,batteries charged up, an having trouble or getting no spark , Make sure it's switched on/kill switch off,you'd be surprised!!!!!..................... .
I'm having a pleasant morning replacing old nuts/bolts on the 'ped, be a good opportunity where those surplus b......s came from when I put her back together,eeep!, (no worries - only took panels off for cleaning!. ).mk.
haha, i did that with the car, found i had loads of nuts bolts and screws left over. but everything seemed to be fine
That little rattle can become I.r.r.i.t.a.t.i.n.g.g.g.........ing., Have you heard of one of the blessings bestowed upon mankind called, .......... Cable Ties .......... !, I'm about to delve into the wonderful world of E-bay multipacks for the nuts an the bolts.mk. .
