Re: Grrr!!

You need to drain that oil from the bottom end. It won't start like that if it's full. Requires pulling the jug and inverting the case. I tried out this idea to pour a cup or so of gasoline into the spark plug hole (adjusting the crankshaft position to bdc) and let the oil mix with the gas and so m...

Have you considered chrome plating your stock wheels . . . or maybe the whole scoot?
The stock honda elite wheels are not worth it. I use chf50 wheels from a metropolitan and they are so much more sturdy and tubeless! Chrome those!

Re: 89 elite front rim on Aero question

The front rim on an 86 aero of mine had a very out of round drum so I bought an 89 elite front rim which mounted right up, but isn't quite the same... The drum dish on the elite rim, towards the brake panel, is about 3/8ths of an inch shallower id say than the aero's leaving the brake assembly pad ...

Re: Running rich

After reading your last 2 posts, I too, tend to think the jetting is too big either in both circuits or possibly you have a drilled out jet. I have seen that before-where someone will try to richen up the mixture because of an air leak somewhere or lack of an oem air box drill out a jet. Just say'in...

Re: Honda Lead NH50

New Dio for parts has small spline crank. I guess that this motor is pretty much useless :D You can run large journal crank if you buy special seal for that side only. It is sometimes available at VT cycles in Hawaii. Ask the seller a question about them. He can get them. They also pop-up on scoote...

Re: Fuel tank petcock

I really appreciate your help, the fitting closest the tank is fuel to the carburetor and the bottom fitting is vacuum to the intake manifold, but what is confusing to me is that I just disconnected the hose from the carburetor to drain the tank and the fuel all drained out, I thought there had to ...

Re: bent crank ?

I know that a honda af16 crankshaft can get bent on the variator side very easily by wrenching on the nut too harshly either tightening or loosening the nut. It is super easy to do. I really was not aware of it but by not using proper tools, being in a hurry, and carlessly exerting stupid amounts of...

That website isn't what it used to be...if you can afford it, you can get some super quality paint from awlgrip or interlux usually found at a marine hardware store or check with a local paint and body shop for help finding a paint supplier.
