Re: Need expert help

Measure the hole in the rim. The valve stems go by hole size. 11.3 mm is standard for my 125 Elite and Helix
I would believe it to be the same on the 80cc. 11.3 mm is .05 inches so either .45 or .6 with a good rubber seal will work as long as it fits the hole.

Found Slime ones at Autozone so I ...

Need expert help

Ok guys, I have an '87 Elite 80 that came with tubed tires. The rims are stamped tubeless and can run them, so I purchased 3x10 tubeless tires. Now I just need to know what size tubeless valve stem to purchase that will fit. Any ideas? I called my local Kragen and they carry two sizes, .45 and .6 ...

Re: Carb flooding

Greetings:

Sorrry I presumed it was a 2-stroke 50. In that case just address the float valve issue and don't change anything else for now. If it's a 4-stroke 80, your limited low-speed mixture adjustment range should be enough to get it running once the carb's clean.

Yep, sure enough I found one ...

Re: Carb flooding

Greetings:

I've never seen the limiter you mention on any US Honda scooter, but I know what you mean. It's plastic. Vise-Grips always worked for me... Removal of the limiter is Highly Illegal, but necessary to permit realistic mixtures at idle. We'll send you a cake with a file baked in.

I would ...

Carb flooding

Anybody know how to remove the limiter cap from the air/fuel mixture screw? I'm down to either a stuck float vent, or running too rich due to a/f screw. I've cleaned the carb 3 times, but never actually scrubbed the float vent. It runs great but leaks gas out the float drain tube and the air filter.

Need carb help

I have an Elite 80 that is having some issues starting. it's sat for 15 years, has a fresh battery, new plug, new air filter, verified vacuum petcock operation at the tank. I confirmed I have compression, spark, and if I squirt gas directly into the chamber behind the plug and start it, it will ...

Newbie, found an Elite

Hey guys, I just found an old Elite that I'll be getting for free to fix up and work on as a project. I haven't seen any pictures of it yet, but found out it's blue so far lol. I should have pics in the next few hours. I was wondering what are the major concerns on these to look out for when they ...
