Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
I have the s23 1500 contra and springs in, malossi for ruckus variator (with the case clearanced and cover spaced.) I have rollers for tuning. Currently running 3X7g + 3X6g rollers in. The zx pulley and belt is definitely something I would like to do next with the 97mm variator, as I think it is the...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
A little update. Turns out the 92 jet was so rich, it fouled a new plug in about half a tank. After a little more trial, error and test riding I am now running the 88 jet and it is running great, a little cool even. With running WOT for a bit I have only seen 325F on the CHT once or twice. I have ju...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
Went to try and adjust the fuel mixture screw till I felt it sounded better on the stand then attempted a ride. It fell on its face and wouldn't Rev up. Returned the air screw back, and no better. Now it doesn't want to start without throttle or stay running. It even backfired while kicking. I blew ...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
I felt a like it bogged at lower rpm. But I will check again and listen for possible hanging idle or anything else. I will definitely adjust the air screw before anything else.
Thanks
Thanks

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
After a few heat cycles I finally took it out for a short ride around not taking it above 1/2 throttle. With a couple of pretty steep hills only saw 306 on the cht max. With the temps so low should I down jet, or continue as is since I hadn't been using WOT? Thanks

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
Good deal. I have knocked out the second tab is the airbox, and a filter bought off here. 92 is the biggest jet I have, so I will make sure to change the needle and keep an eye on temps. Haven't ridden it yet as I have been busy.

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
Well I got the 72cc, springs and jet installed. It kicked over no problem. I only let it run for 5 seconds as I am waiting for a cht before heat cycling.

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
I agree. Hence the 72cc malossi kit. Getting gears next.

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
Another idea for the pilot jet is I could buy something like https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Spree-NQ50-pilot-jet-38/222263245496?hash=item33bfebfab8:g:1PAAAOSwWxNYw5zb and drill it out saving the original for going back later. Any reason this is a bad idea, and what size ya'll think would get me clo...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
After years, looks like I am finally modifying past de-resriction. I recently installed a malossi ruckus variator and have other goodies going on soon. I have a malossi cast kit, 1500rpm clutch and contra springs. All I am waiting on is jets for the stock carb. Questions: Start with a 92 and go down...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
Today I managed to finish removing the restrictions put on my Elite S, and HOLY SMOKES this is a completely different bike. In the process of bleeding the air out of the oil pump I found that the pump seems to have seized. After riding it a bit with pre-mix in the tank, and oil line off to the side ...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite Newbs 1st Scooter
Today I managed to get a little more done on the scoot. I removed the carb and have it soaking in some Seafoam. Everything looked good inside just figured would be a good idea while I had it apart. The exhaust is off and ready to have the washer drilled out, I just need the get the right stepper dri...
