hello, i have a 1985 honda 125m i just got and im trying to get it running. its got spark, compression, and fuel as im using starting fluid just to fire it before i take it apart and clean it up. im not sure if it has spark at the right time, could the cdi be installed incorrectly? is there any common problems with these trikes? wouldnt it still at least fire if it has low compression? i have not put a gauge on it yet to tell exact compression but theres still a little left in this old trike. otherwise everything looks decent, all the connections are clean metal and all the wires are in good shape. could it have anything to do with those little black boxes, i.e. a faulty rectifier or voltage regulator or maybe even the pulse alternator? i have mainly stuck with 2 strokes but i couldnt pass this 125m up. any help or information on 125m's would be greatly appreciated. thanks
