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!

Where are the pennies for the old style screw in fuses?
Pennies are no longer in circulation, Redneck… move on with the times…
