Re: [2cylinderhondas] 72 Honda 600 coupe (Yellow)

[friend]

I have said this before, but it needs to be said again.  In the past many years, I have worked on Honda 600's I have only had one coil I couldn't get working. The small wires can be soldered back on, the high tension wires can be changed out.   This is a 30 some year old car with 30 year old technology getting it down the road.  And almost every Honda Car left has the capability of getting back on the road.
