RE: [Honda-C70] No Headlights/Brake lights/Neutral ...

Jim : The battery is the only voltage regulator . Headlight runs on AC current direct from the generator. If the battery is dead weak or missing the headlight gets too much power & burns out . The rest of the lights run on DC power from the battery. I guess the electric starter not working tried to warn you the battery was weak & needed service or replaced. Horn not working or turn signals that flash a few times then just stay on is the second chance to " fix the battery" before bulbs start burning out. On the other hand neutral light not working could mean the neutral safety switch was the cause of the electric starter not working & the kicker was not affected. Good Luck ! Baby Huey

... but the Turn signals are perfect! Have I blown all the bulbs at the same time? When the neutral light didn't come on at the start of the season I kick-started the bike and it ran okay.

The bike is a 1982 C70 - 12-volt system.

Is there a regulator or something I should check? As you may be able to tell, I am not very mechanically inclined ... but just love this little underpowered scooter!
