Seems like reading somewhere that you were into old mopeds. My neighbor GAVE me a 1965, 65 CC bike. I just restored a similar (1982 Honda 70cc bike). I am having trouble getting the coil to fire. Do you know of any resources like this board for the mopeds? I need a wiring schematic and some info. Thanks.

A 1965 what exactly?
There are alot of moped manuals on line at MRA.org
http://www.mopedriders.org/article_cat.php?fldAuto=2
and if you have no luck there check with the MOPED ARMY
http://www.mopedarmy.com/forums/discuss/1/
If it has no pedals it's not a moped so beware the MA is militant and will shank you over that faux paux and than laugh over you bleeding body
They are a nice bunch of guys.
Oh and then some body will help you any way.
Check the usual things like connections, kill switch, oil fouled points caused by a bad crank seal (I am talking about a 2 stroke which I assume you have.
Lets see a picture.
I love small bikes especially 50cc.

This thing must be a freak of Honda. It is a 1965, S65 Honda. Four stroke, overhead cam,4 spd, manual clutch, no pedals(so what is it if not a moped?) It is not a step through frame. Kick start only, 6 volt system. I'll try to get photos tonight, this thing is too cool.

The blue one is a 1982 honda passport 70. I have already rebuilt the motor on it and it runs like a charm. It belongs to one of my buds. The black and white one below is the S65 Honda. I have all the parts that are missing. Just need a wiring diagram. What do you think of it and what would you call it? The thumbnails should be clickable.

Nice score.
It's a motorcycle.
S65 = Sport 65cc made for 4 years 64-67 if I remember correctly.
Overhead cam in a time when most little hondas were still push rod engines.
It's considered a performance model.
I bet thise red tank badges are impossible to find.

Parts fiche.
I had the 1964 50cc version of this bike, my first MC I bought out of the weeds for $15.
That was just the beginning of my odesy.

The S65 (S=Sport=high pipe) was first sold in the USA in 1965. It was my first bike. I put over 20K on it before I gifted it to my younger brother. He rode it another 15K and sold it when he bought a Suzuki X-6 Histler that matched the one I had.
If you laid flat on the seat and overreved it you could hit 65 mph.
Thanks for the memories ...
