Clive.

Agree on the plug chop.

Is acceleration and topend speed down? If it is you could also have a muffler with a lot of carbon in it. If you put something over the tailpipe does the bike immediately stall?

Hard to tell for sure without a good shot of the split CVT cover.

Could easily be 92 models though because black was factory color for the 92-93 Elite 50 SR, Also, I think later SA50s had white wheels and not coral blue like pictured.

You should definitely use new rings in that sort of situation. Also do your absolute best to figure out where that metal is coming from. You don't want to go to the trouble of fixing everything only to have it all happen again. Are both the clips still on each side of the pin? Don't forget to re-hon...

The painted plastic seems to be a type of ABS, but I can't get my ABS welder rods to stick. The tough foot panels and bumpers - are these LDPE? That's always been my assumption, but hard to confirm without proper analysis. I think aging and UV hardens to ABS surface over time on these older scooter...

I always hand sand with a block. Its too easy to take off too much plastic with anything else. I start with 150 sandpaper for the rough work, then go down with wet-or-dry, finishing with 600 grit wet sanding. I'd figure on at least 2 cans of sandable primer and 3 cans of color. I've used Duplicolor ...

If you are checking the compression, an old mechanics trick: Add about 1 teaspoon of (2-stroke) oil through the plug hole. Turn the crank a couple of times to distribute the oil, then retry the compression check. After doing the check turn over the engine with a few times with a rag in the plug hole...

Hi: The plastics on these scooters are made from ABS. I've been able to successfully rebuild whole missing sections, cracks, and broken tabs with the following: Buy ABS pipe cement from the plumbing section of your local hardware store. Most is black in color (eg Oakley brand). Also get a sheet or 2...

Are you boasting or offering it!

Does it show any life with starter fluid?

Clive.

And to add to that, you could try searching www.boats.net or Google for the parts number. The last 4 digits represent the jet size

i.e. 0680 is a #68
0700 would be a #70 ....... etc.

Clive.

Ask your dealer for these part numbers:
99112-GHB-0680
or
99101-187-0680

They are limited to just 2 sizes I believe, so you may have to drill one out to get the size you need.

It does not seem like you can get this kind of jet directly from Keihin which limits availability and jet sizes.

There's a guy listing on eBay called chopchop*123 Send him a message and ask if he has any more cylinders left. A direct link is here: http://www.tinyurl.com/6f7pxh They are not the greatest - lower quality Taiwan castings - but if you are desperate there is not much choice and his prices are very g...

Anyone have details on size/shape of boost ports

I just wanted to make sure you did not hold the plug while checking or you will get yourself shocked. Thanks ALOW1 I missed mentioning that - definitely a bad thing to check voltage by experiencing it :oops: Vinnie: You should definitely check for spark before you go too far. Always best to check t...
