  1. My 76 Honda had a fuse that everything went through. It was just a metal strip.
    I used paperclips to replace it. I don’t know the amp loading, but I did have to replace it pretty often.

    • My Honda Elite 150 has the same setup, one day it simply opened up. I fingered it out finally, I think mechanical vibration just fatigued it because it wasn’t really “blown”, it just opened up.

      I used to replace AG- type Buss fuses with ones I had made myself because I couldn’t afford to buy them but I had plenty of fine wire and solder. I would calculate the ampacity of the wire and try to match it to what was sstamped on the end of the fuse, MOSTLY I was successful… Taught me about proper fusing, lemme tells ya!
      “The Fools Guide to Fuse Replacement” has been around for many decades, I saw it back in the ’70s.
      Yeah, I’m THAT old!
