Minh, If you haven't discovered this yet, here's a tip that might come in handy during your learning process:
Some online Honda parts suppliers have downloadable/printable exploded- view parts "fiches" of the various assemblies (fuel system, wiring, brakes, etc.) by model and year. One I favor is Service Honda, which uses original Honda factory parts numbers as its in-house stock numbers (some suppliers use proprietary stock numbers, which are not as helpful). Link is: http://www.servicehonda.com/parts.html Anyway, the expoded views are sometimes handy for illustration purposes when you're trying to figure out the relationship of one part to another, or generally how stuff works.
