That's a nice brain teaser. Without knowing your skill level I will start by asking if you do your own work or farm it out ? The 400T has a very different ignition system from most. At 29 years old a lot of different possibilities exist. We can check each one. The process will be slow, bear with it. I doubt if many dealerships have anybody knowledgeable on those bikes.

CB400t To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, April 17, 2009, 11:52 PM I would be so very grateful if anyone can help me brainstorm why I am blowing ignition coils on my 1980 CB400t. It started last summer with an ever weakening spark. It got to the point it would only spark for 20 seconds and then be completely dead. I replaced the stator, with no effect, then a new coil from honda and it worked great for maybe 4 hours of run time.... (over 5 months) and today, the thing suddenly stopped. No spark or a very feeble spark. When I put an analog meter on the incoming wire to the coil, it pulses (can't really read it). Thats what it did before, and the new coil fixed it. Is something ruining my coils? At $130, its kinda spendy for 4 hours of run time. Any advise is appreciated! Thanks!
