I had to take a break from this problem to do some work around the house. I got back into it and I think I understand the problem. I bought an accurate tester and it appears that in fact I am not getting a charge to my battery. I took off the flywheel cover. As I understand it there are two pickups on the magneto, one for the ignition and one for the charging system??? The one that is a red coiled wire appears to be fried and has that smell. Is this the source of my lack of power for my lights and horn? I thought that with a good battery and the key turned on that at least my horn would work??? What part is it I need and would a honda dealer be able to get it for me?
