AboutBill Silver Expertise Need help with vintage Hondas from the 1960s? I am an expert with 250-305cc bikes in particular and most all of the other pre-91 models, in general. I do NOT claim to have a great deal of experience on Gold Wings, Cruisers, ATC/ATVs and dirt bikes.
Experience I have owned/ridden/maintained Honda motorcycles for 35 years. I have written five books on Honda repairs and collecting. I was a service manager for two Honda shops back in the 1980s.

Question I have this 88 Honda interceptor that I can't get to fire. I thought it might be the coils so I replaced those and still no fire. I was told it might be the rectifier but I don't want to pay $200 for a part that I don't need. Could you give me any help on this it would be great. Thank You
