thanks for your concern on this matter

I'll try that when I get back, work out of state. Once I do I'll let you know. I appreciate the info and the invite to join.

Hey guys, will be back in town tomorrow..yea, mine is a one off..had key off, came in, later found coil melted, and a first dash worked..battery never drained, no dash but headlights worked, another weird thing was ignition fuse would blow, put new relay, no blow, hook up coil, fuse blows, check rectifier, no blow, then with all hooked up, no blown fuse, but coil melted..just a nightmare, gonna get on it tomorrow.

That's what I would do if I were working on it because evidence is lacking (so far) that it needs anything more. I mean, you know precisely what happened to it and why it happened..... it was supposed to happen so your fix should be routine. I would also make that Caltric regulator disappear, because if ya don't it will eventually end up plugged in again, making more unnecessary work for you. But I'm sure that you have a plan for that already, so.... Your case differs from Mach 1's Rancher in that the china barbecue was brief and terminated the moment you turned the ignition switch off. We got no reason to suspect that anything besides the coil fried, so far.... While in his case the china relay module stuck closed while the smoke was let out, so his barbecue continued long after he turned the ignition switch off -- until the battery was drained completely dead. So I have concerns for his stuff where I don't for yours. If the ignition switch survived on his Rancher then the next step will be to plug OEM parts in and find out.

I was wondering if you are still repairing speedometers for the 04 Foreman 450 I have fixed one of these screens before by using the polarized film replacement I tried that on this screen and I still display shows nothing also only half the screen is backlit other half is not

Glad that fixed it! REMEMBER!!!! No china electrical parts on a Honda!

well got the used cdi on today and fired it up and it is running like new so far,will have to take it for a ride when i get it back together.
