Re: 89 elite front rim on Aero question

Greetings: Memory grows dim from 2008, but I'm certain I used a Metropolitan front rim on my 1987 Aero. If I recall correctly I just had to use an Elite 1994+ brake panel, because the Aero's front brake was smaller in diameter. I don't recall ever getting a 1987-1993 Elite rim. I wanted the Tubeless...

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings: 3 months in from replacement with eBay $20 Chinese carb. Still doesn't leak (like my particular Honda PA carb did). Still starts first kick, this time after sitting over a week, although it did threaten to stall before reviving. Also still likes some throttle when starting a warm engine. ...

Greetings:

Hmm, hard to tell on a video what you're feeling. Seals installed will create a little friction, though.

Re: Oil in carburetor

Greetings: If storing the scooter for a long winter, I recommend draining the tank completely, then run the engine until it stalls. A dry carb won't gum up over the winter and require a carb cleaning. If you do get a fuel shut-off installed, measure out some Stabil and put it in the tank to preserve...

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings: Just under 4 weeks, and fired up with a single kick this morning having sat for 3-4 days. Mystery why this is no longer an issue. Weird that it likes throttle to fire when warm, whereas the Honda would NOT want any. Otherwise: Still runs fine, but I'm NOT selling the Honda PA carb just ye...

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings: Another weird thing with this carb - in a good way. So far since it was installed, the scooter starts when cold on first kick. EVEN when it hasn't run in a couple of days. The PA carb would always "dry out" and it would take 10-25 kicks to prime and start. So far no leaks from t...

Re: Headlights and turn signals suddenly don’t work

Greetings:

If the symptoms appeared suddenly, it sounds like the alternator has failed. (or a wire connection - hopefully) That would explain both the 10-volt reading on the battery AND the headlight not working. Good luck with the alternator.

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings: Those filters of yours are The Bomb, Noisy! Lower resistance with light oiling and keep Flash innards squeaky-clean and happy. So fired up Flash last night for a quick after-dark run to the USPO. Maybe a 2-mile run to the post-office. Temperature 66, relative humidity 92%. This is very co...

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings: Garage Therapy Sunday saw the Honda PA carb pulled from Berryman Bath. Getting ready: F9CARBPREP.jpg I had a plastic tub to minimize mess. No carb cleaner on hand, brake parts cleaner had to do. Attention turned immediately to the Pilot orifice - the suspected cause of recent misbehavior....

Re: Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings:

Huh!! So far none of those issues on this one. Just the different carb cap thing and needing to adjust the throttle cable almost to the limit. I was pretty tame screwing in the Main. When (If...) the weather improves I'll have more to say.

Chinese Carb Success(?)

Greetings: For over 4000 miles since MeatBall sent me a 34-mile AF16, all we've done is put premix in the tank and ride it. Lately it had gotten fussier to start, then wouldn't hold idle once it did, and refused throttle unless given quick flicks until the revs came up. I installed Noisy-Guy's aweso...
