Most devices as such would require:
  • Insulator
    Bearing (plain) washer
    Nut (nipped up tight enough to stop the stud moving, but not to crush the insulator)
then the terminal lug, followed by
  • Spring washer
    Nut

Right now it it's (top to bottom)

1. Nut
2. Washer
3. Cable
4. Washer
5. Nut
6. Insulator?

Can you tell me how to arrange that order, or add/remove components. Or just a photo of yours would be great if you had one handy. Your description was pretty clear, yet left me confused about some parts. Does the insulator have to be touching the cable? etc.

Based on this illustration (taken from the clymer manual), this was how I reassembled. Though I have a feeling this was wrong. I couldn't find any photos online of other people's or, a clear shot in my own. Hoping someone could help me out.

Its plastic, like a breadboard for circuits. It was on there before. The previous owner must mistakenly have put it on the starter terminal. Thanks for the clarification.

I think Ed means the cover on the cable. That's not right.

If he says that's how Honda stacked the hardware on the stud, then that's how they did it. I'll be doing mine as per my intuition; from the starter body: as stated in my 1st reply.

Oohh, that. It was just how I got the bike. I looked into replacing it, but there doesn't appear to be a part number for just the rubber cover. I'd have to find the entire cable. If anyone has a spare rubber piece I'd pay a fair price.

Scott, many electrical suppliers should stock the stud covers, particularly those who supply to the automotive, commercial (truck) or marine trades.

Print the pic and show what you need. It'll be a bit tight getting over the terminal lug, but a smear of Vaseline will ease its passage (ooo, er....madam!).
