Can't start my 1981 Honda passport C70, have spark, jumpered Red to Black wire on ignition switch. Gassed up & Choke open, switch on handle bar set to run. No battery. Tried push starting but won't stay running. What am I missing here?
Does the battery need to be hooked up and charged to provide voltage to pulser, for spark?Does the battery need to be hooked up and charged to provide voltage to pulser, for spark?

Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
Don't connect both blgack cables. 1 is the ignition cut-off. Probabilly, one of both cables has a yellow or white striping. This is then the ignition cut-off. You won't have ignition if this cable is grounded.
Check also the cable in the area where the handle folds for damages!

Possibly a bad ignition coil. Check the connections at the ignition coil,make sure they are clean and tight, If so,..then most likely either A: the ignition coil is bad,or B: the pickup on the stator rotor is bad or the rotor could be rusted on the raised portion where the pickup get its signal.
First- turn on the gas. wait for it to get to the carb. Next switch on- close the choke, give 1/4 throttle, Kick it - if it's a no start after about 4 kicks - open the choke and give 1/2 throttle and close the gas.(your flooded)- 4 more kicks and check the spark plug for wet fuel or dry. If dry- dip the business of the plug in fuel and try again. Still no start- replace the plug.
If all that fails- you can disconnect the ignition switch and that will separate the wiring from the ignition- be careful here because you can not shut it off with the switch it can be killed with the choke or pull off the ignition wire to the spark plug.
Still no start, do a compression test as it needs at least 80# to fire.
You need to check if you have spark and fuel: 1: Remove spark plug and fit it back in the plug cap, crank over to check spark
2:If you have spark check to see if plug is wet or dry (a)If dry, there is a fuel issue and you need to check by the carburettor and tank for fuel and/or any vacuum hoses not connected. (b)If wet you might have a faulty plug or flooded in which case try starting with full throttle and no choke(if Manual choke)
3:If no spark, look for the cutout switch(normally on the right hand side handle bar) to make sure it is on and that there is no water residue on any HT leads etc.
