No Hand,
Checked the connectors, all clean, checked the wire harness, no fraying. The servo motor is not always easy to rotate cw/ccw. Sometimes it hangs up and requires a larger force (3x). I called my local Honda dealer to ask if they could check either the CDI or the servo motor. Reply: they don't know how to do it, I can come in and look at the sevice manual all I want. Poor answer, but I might take him up on the sevice manual review.
One other point, just because the motor turns cw/ccw with a 12V source, does not exzonerate (sp) the servo motor. The control loop (other 3 wires) could have failed. I will let you know what happens next.
