[messiah 14]

o well summer is around the corner. i want to know if you can tow start the cb-1 and how to do it
i can't findthe wire harness ,so ill fix the wires  from the alternator ,and will see what happens
if you have a bad stator can the cb-1 start with out trouble or it does'n ?
i made a mistake when i changed the spark plugs i conected the wires with out the serv manual
and things went wrong two of the three alternator wires fryed right beafore the voltage inverter
the bike didn't start ever since i guess better to get new spark plugs and a new batt ...
any suggestions please feel free to let me know... thanks jcm   insecttub@hotmail.com

You can start a bike with a dead battery with a push start.  I did that for my CB-1 a week or so back when a duff voltage regulator fried it.      However, you can't do it for a bad alternator. If your stator is bad you won't be getting enough juice to keep anything running, so you'll ruin your battery in short order too. 

There's a stator for sale on eBay right now.  You can also get replacements from http://www.electrosport.com/ (regulators too.)  EBay probably can be a reliable place for a wiring loom too, if you need one - there seem to be a couple of shops that are parting out older bikes at the moment.  Call around and find out if nothing is on sale.

Let me know if you need a shop manual - I have one in pdf format.
