The LTD/SEi were probably the most complicated bikes built by Honda until the 1800. But when everything is running right, they are about the best of the Goldwing breed. Faster than the 1500 or other 1200s. I'm going to guess that you have a sensor problem in the fuel injection. Vic or Twisty might be the guys to help you with this one.

Also forgot to mention reading the LEDs on the ECU. Clymers has a pretty good section on the self diagnosis. It might just tell you what's making it unhappy.

Thank you.

I took the false fuel tank off today and found a connector with two wires, I think
they were both yellow, that have been very hot. They were on the left side if you
are sitting on the bike. I could not get it unplugged, and not sure what it is for.
Was about to look in manual to see if i can find it. That area is tight and has
more wire than it should. Seem's to go to metal box that has small fin's, possibly
to help cool it.

May just remove body work and make it a point to inspect and clean all of the
connectors. Need a good project anyway. But I do not know if I can wait that
long to ride it. :baffled: :12ltd:

The little box with fins is your rectifier regulator and those are the wires that cause problems. If there are signs it's been hot, they need to be repaired right away 'cause you're going to be standing on the side of the road if you don't. The connector with the yellowtwo wires should be the two stator leads going to the regulator. Check around in that area, there's a larger connector and the third of the yellow wires goes there. It's likely that connector has been heated where the yellow wire enters.
