great smell is defined personally by each individual the distinct 'two stroke' smell is probably from the castor mixes (mentioned previously by Motormike) I personally would love to try that strawberry smelling one. :) I started with the Maxima Super M but had to switch to another because of the lim...

Do you have an extra ignition coil? I had a similar experience and I couldn't figure it out because it was intermittent. It started up well, ran alright for a few minutes, and then no go. Engine would still idle... If I let it sit, it would start up fine again. Weird. It turned out to be the ignitio...

found this on fleabay selling close to $40 with shipping & handling fees:

thanks for sharing. This would be sooooo fun! if they brought it here... I'd ride it!

exhaust gasket leak would be my guess too

a very nice addition to your stable LMH! I am green with envy.

whatever battery you end up buying, be sure to charge it fully when you first get it. I'd still check it even if they say it's fully charged (it could've sat on the shelf for a week or two (or ?). other battery related tips: Get a trickle charger, even the cheap ones at wallymart (or similar store) ...

fyi: The Sym dd50 rim does fit as both are the smaller 10mm size front bolt. What doesn't fit is the stock Daelim odometer gear unless you transfer the whole Sym dd50 front using the dd50 forks. The dd50 forks do not have the mount tabs for the cool looking front wheel fender. :( As I was pondering....

I have that tool too; I'm looking for this tool: . The ones that I'm finding are too small.

I also have this one to grab the teeth

Buying from Craigslist(CL) is alright but you really need to use your common sense and better judgement. Is there anyone you know that is a bit knowledgeable about motorcycles(m/c)? It would be best to take that someone with you when you go shopping, otherwise go visit a local m/c shop to see how mu...

:!: Great! Just great! :shock: tyvm for adding yet another project to my endless things to do list! :crazy: Seriously though, thanks for sharing! I have always wanted to do that! I've built an electric bicycle before and have told people that I'll do mopeds or a motorcycle next. Now I have a referen...

^ah... another similar minded individual... I thought I was the only one that had these kind of thoughts. If I need to replace, I buy new. As long as it's the same size, and of similar specifications (or better). Spillable/ Maintenance free or not is a matter of preference <it doesn't have to be>. I...

tools--make sure you double check to see what you'll actually need to do repairs. In my emergency kit, I have a universal clutch holder, large combination wrench for the variator, clutch, and rear wheel nuts; besides a couple of adjustable wrenches, and a socket wrench set with just the sockets that...

Welcome to the forums!
That was an awesome deal!!!
Hope you'll get it on the road soon!

The rear wheel from the Metropolitan is a straight bolt on to your Elite and is probably easier to find. I believe all years will fit. The Elite rim was originally designed to be used with a tube, the Metro rim is tubeless as most new scoots are nowadays. The Metro rear is also a wee bit wider than ...
