![Starter 50cc Gy6 for 50cc Engine Scooters, Chinese Atv's, and More [1406]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414G5EQV1VL.jpg)
95% sure you need a new starter solenoid.

seems to be about $135 from random places online

I have no experience with the part or the vendor.
That is the starter. Perhaps the bad connection is whats causing it not to work. I don't know if the wire is repairable or solderable at this point but you can find a replacement starter online.

And I order all my parts from these guys. Haven't had any problems with orders/returns. ---> http://www.scrappydogscooters.com/Replacement_Parts.html
The fuse that is blowing is here on the starter relay. I tried bridging between those two nuts on there and now instead of blowing the fuse, all the lights stay on when the key is in the on position, but there is a buzzing sound from around the solenoid area when pressing the ignition button and holding down the clutch. I’m thinking the starter relay might be bad, but don’t know how to check that. And thanks! I hope I can get it running before it gets too cold.
I had this exact model, and a '91 750, love Nighthawks. Bullet-proof engine, that starter problem is a $13 solenoid fix. https://www.amazon.com/Starter-Solenoid-CB650SC-Nighthawk-1982-1985/dp/B00EEKCV8G
A moped is probably your best bet, but $200 is a hard number to work with.
I'd say one of the cheap 4 stroke kits, like this one
https://www.amazon.com/Iglobalbuy-Powerful-4-Stroke-Compete-Motorized/dp/B06WRQRTH4/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=4+stroke+bicycle+engine+kit&qid=1558854816&s=gateway&sprefix=4+stro&sr=8-2
Or even a rear engine kit, like this

4 strokes are more complex, but their added complexity makes them easier in operation. 2 strokes are simpler, but need to be made well, assembled well, and tuned well, to run well. It's a tinkerer's dream. But it can be a pain in the ass, especially when something doesn't run, and you are late for work.
Hi!
I know it sounds like I'm being a jerk, and I'm not trying to be, but I would suggest buying a paper copy of the manual. I know it's probably ~$20, but it's so much easier having the paper copy right next to you instead of getting your laptop all greasy. And, you can write notes in it. I would think your bike is popular enough that most shops would have one in stock.
I had a starter problem with an '83 Shadow similar to yours. I let it go, thinking the bike was just hard to start because it was getting cooler, but after it failed on me it involved rebuilding the starter. The brushes were worn to dust. There is a starter rebuild kit (O-rings, brushes and the like) that I found for cheap (http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-1991-2003-21163-1141-21163-1249-31200-MJ0-016/dp/B004UAL8SY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347546601&sr=8-1&keywords=cb750+starter+rebuild+kit). It wasn't hard to do at all, but the hardest part for me was removing the starter which involved removing an exhaust pipe and a coolant line, and still not having much clearance. Yours might be easier, but again. Manual.
Checking the cable would be the easy thing to do first. Do you know where the starter is? It looks like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-Honda-Nighthawk-CB-750-Starter-/261096667016?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cca92f788&vxp=mtr
If you can easily access it, just check to see if the nut that holds that cable on is loose. I highly suggest disconnecting the battery though before sticking a metal wrench in there, though. Just in case.
Long story short, I suggest rebuilding the starter (either you, or your friend) if the cable isn't loose, or you'll have to hope that it doesn't fail on you without somewhere to bump start it.
Also, changing the oil is fairly easy. You can do it! Sorry I can't tell you exactly where the bolts and stuff are, but it shouldn't be too challenging. A good start to wrenching, for sure.
Good luck!
Should look something like this. you may have some fuses along the wire there as well.
Also found this for you. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298043
Unfortunatly I'm at work, but I believe this one for the Honda Spirit is similar.

ISP is usually not the problem wifi is. Gaming over wifi is far too unstable I use dlan which solves the stability problem couldn't recommend it more.

I fell in love with DLAN, it's way better than WiFi for longer distances actually and it's just as reliable as a direct cable connection in my experience. I first used it when I had my setup on another floor than my router and now still use that I sit next door. All you need is two free outlets basically.
