Low compression, that how you think that?

What can be done?

Thanks!

Good Day! So the 1987 Honda Elite SE50 was running 3 weeks ago great and now it wont start at all after sitting for 3 weeks and I need some opinions / thoughts. Here is what I know: 1. Compression test reading: 90 2. Spark on spark plug when pulled and touched to head 3. Cleaned carb, seems gas empt...

The new ramp plate inner circle diameter was too big!!! It was not stopping at the right spot on the drive shaft, it was going over the stopper. Right where my arrow points in the second post with the pictures with red arrows. I had thrown the original ramp plate because the new did work but I suppo...

Figured it out! Real real simple! Totally overlooked the simple thing AGAIN! Guesses?

Is the ramp plate supposed to go past the point noted in the picture below with the red arrow on the drive shaft? Mine does. It is where the variator stops on the drive shaft and stops the drive boss but my ramp plate goes past here... http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4351/splineredarrow2.jpg Just...

Been awhile, my apologies but I have grown sour on this thing. Willing to dig in a little more. So I put it back together tonight with marker lines on the drive face and it wouldnt go over 20mph and got REALLY hot. Took it back apart and the belit did not travel over half way up its old lines (marke...

I'll try and measure in a bit. Splints on outer wheel are ok as far as I can tell. The outer wheel does go on the spindle/shaft splints and bolt+washer hold it on them. Does the rest of the spindle look ok, length ok? Is the ramp plate supposed to rest/spin against the inside of housing at the very ...

OK - Spindle and splines close up: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/60/spindle1.png Kick Start Picture: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4408/dsc00430rh.jpg I put the marker lines on the variator and pulley to see how high the belt goes, check and see if that is my 25 mph or less issue Thoughts on...

Greetings: Quoth The Bear: A) Back when I lived in and apartment in town, I rebuilt my first 1969 428 Cobra Jet in my kitchen on the floor . So whaaaaa on your apartment crap. 600 pound engine to the second floor compared to a 150 pound scooter, Big Deal ! I refitted the U.S.S. Nimitz in the towel ...

Guys - Please don't hijack my posting with the banter, I am really just looking for help. Kinda bummed at the moment that I am having the two issues with my scoot so reading your fight on my post kinda frustrates me more. I do appreciate the help your willing to give Chicago and I will grab a better...

Found this from another post on the splines being mangled: http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2055/picjah1.jpg I do not have the inner washer... I think this may be from a spree but can anyone confirm yay or nay that there is supposed to be a washer BEFORE the ramp plate as shown above? ALSO -my dri...

Greetings: It's hard to tell from Pic 1, and I truly hope I'm wrong, but the crank splines appear to be munched. If so, you need a new crankshaft or a truly gifted machinist. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you. It's easy to misalign the outer pulley sheave. If you start cranking down the nut w...

Hey Wheelman, I thought they were as well BUT they cleaned up nice and the outer wheel will only go over the splines if I have it lined up right, so I hope that doesnt meant they are chewed... That being said I can get to 24mph but cant go any faster so if its spinning or slipping at that top end, t...

UPDATE: Took it apart and put it back together again. Kick start still wont engage but estart works. Took it for a ride and got it to 40 mph. Then on my way home Im cruising along at 38 and SPIIIIIIIIINNNNN. I hit the brake and kill the engine. I then restart and everything seems ok. Drive it home a...

Greetings: Did you swap/forget/lose the variator boss? Maybe it's the wrong diameter/length? Pics would help. It's easy to bugger the splines on the crank if tou don't put some slack in e belt before you tighten the nut. Check the Service Manual diagrams for assembly sequence. I used the variator b...
