Re: 2000 Elite SA50P Not Running After Initial Repairs/Service

Did you read up on carburetor service in the service manual? It gives specific air/fuel adjustment screw settings. Did you remove that screw when you cleaned the carb? There is a very small o-ring, a very small metal washer and a small spring inside of that bore and they go back in, in that order. A...

Re: Lights

You just have to go thru your wiring and discover which ones are incorrectly connected. Yea, it happens.

Re: Gearing Ratio for Honda Dio SK50MY (AF27)

9:1 is the best all-around gearing for AF18/AF16 motors IMO. You can find em for less than $70-80. The stock gears are about 12:1 so if you change the secondary gears(which are easiest and have the most variety to find) look for 16*41 or 16*42 secondaries for the 8.9:1 or 9.1:1 unless you live where...

Re: 1988 Elite 50es kickstart cover replacement assembly

Yea those are tough to tackle even if you've done 'em a few times. There is a lock ring, or circlip, and thick washer, that goes over the main shaft on the outside of the cover to hold it all together so you may need to obtain the proper tool to install that circlip but if you can get it opened arou...

Re: Touch up paint

Check with Colorite - they make most factory match paint but don't expect to pay cheap price for it. Also, the last year that Honda makes the Spree scooter is 1987 but I think you are asking about a 1997 Honda Elite SA50. That color code is inside the seat bucket I think it is Majestic Purple ...24

Re: 1984 Aero NB50

Thank you so much! I am so glad you have this Forum. It helped me get the tires to seat right on this Aero. I could not figure out why I had a bubble/ wobble when I put the new tires on. I love working on these old Hondas. It did have a air box! I cleaned the box and filter as best I could. IMG_452...

Re: MID scorpion tuning

Verify the pipe doesn't have obstructions inside of it. Be sure the alignment of exhaust flange-gasket-pipe. Is your boost port cut properly. Is timing correct. Be sure reeds are not faulty or damaged.

Re: 1997 Honda Elite 50, float height

Does your scooter run? Adjustment is not available on the stock oem SA50 model. Search for the "service manual" and get acquainted with your new ride. These are not as plentiful as they once were so if you take care of it properly, it will serve you well for many years or at least until th...

Re: 1985 aero 50 big bore kit not cranking

Your starter is designed for 50 cc's and it's prob the orig? so.....Maybe try kick starting it? Make sure you let it idle up to temp a few times before you go out riding it. Check compression to be sure it's not over 135 psi or you would need hi-octane fuel or another head gasket. Is it stock carb? ...
