Elite 50 Cutting out mid ride

I just ran into an issue I have never had before with my elite. I was riding like I usually, going about 30-35, and out of nowhere the throttle just cut out.

Re: Elite 50 stopped running mid ride. Big or Small issue?

Can you explain a little more, MrJumps. The scooter has been ridden everyday for the last month. If the oil pump was leaking, but I was still riding everyday, would it cause it to stall like that?

I will definitely still look at it.

Mechanic said his thoughts were that either the sparkplug got flooded or there was oil build up in the exhaust because when we actually got it going, it was spitting quite a lot of smoke for a while and he said that was just all the oil burning.

Re: Elite 50 stopped running mid ride. Big or Small issue?

Just a little update if you are reading. I went and got oil and put it in the oil tank. Guy at the cycle shop said give it some kicks without the ignition to get the oil through the engine. Did that, try kicking it to start and got nothing. Tried the electric start and held it for a decent amount an...

Hello Everyone, This is my first post here so excuse me if i'm not in the right section or anything. I recently bought a 2001 Honda Elite 50. Bought it under 600 miles and the scooter looked basically brand new/ran perfect. Over the last week or so, I have been noticed that it will sometimes stop ru...
