Re: Speedometer/Odometer not working now...

I figured it out. I took the cable off again, pulled on one end slightly, and the whole thing came out of the conduit. So, its gonna be a new cable for me.

Speedometer/Odometer not working now...

Just changed the tires on my 86 elite 150 and the speedometer and odometer are now not working. This is very odd. The gear turns and the cable is properly connected. I've changed the brakes a couple of times before, so I've removed the tire several times and put it back on without any problems. Any ...

We talkin about gaskets?! Gaskets man!

Sorry for the bad Iverson reference. But what do you all do when you need a gasket that is no longer available? I need the head gasket and cylinder cover gasket for my 86 Elite. Just wondering what to do...

More noises coming from my rear!!!!

Ok, so my rear end noises have returned. Earlier this year I had heard a "flap" noise coming from the rear tire area. Turns out the hub was loose on the wheel. Got that fixed. Now, a couple of months later, I am hearing a loud "click" while moving. Only when there is weight on the bike too. On the ...

Elite 150 carb/motor swap

I was wondering how much of a difference that putting a 28mm carb in the elite would make. Also, what else do I need to swap out for the carb swap?

I also read that the elite 250 motor wasn't a huge deal to swap onto the 150. Any suggestions? I am not very advanced but I do know how to work around ...

Re: Flapping noise from rear tire

No visible marks that I can see. The sound seems to be coming from inside the wheel.

Flapping noise from rear tire

On my 86 Elite 150 I am hearing a flapping noise when the rear tire is moving. I thought it was belt flap, so I changed the belt and still the noise persists. Could this be a bearing out that I am hearing? Even when bike is off and on center stand, if I move the wheel myself, I hear the flap. Any ...

Re: 1986 Honda Elite 150D not moving

Yes, the clutch bell moves the wheel. And when I turned the scooter on yesterday and gave gas, the wheel turned... i am confused because just 2 days ago it would not move.

Re: 1986 Honda Elite 150D not moving

It seems that the drive face is fine. The noise seems to be coming from the clutch.

1986 Honda Elite 150D not moving

OK, so I have encountered another problem. My Elite 150 will start, but when I give it gas, it will not move. I am hearing something move down there but the wheels will not move. The belt is still in tact. I have taken the cover off and am looing at the pulleys. I just am not sure what else to check ...

Re: Front brake cable adjustment on 86 Elite 150

Not sure if you read my post correctly. The use of the word "how" indicates that I know an adjustment is possible but am unsure of the exact procedure on completing the task. Now, I know that being an * comes naturally to you, but next time, try to read a post completely before losing it.

Thanks ...

Re: PLEASE HELP ME! I AM A MORON! 1986 Honda Elite 150

PS what I am trying to reconnect is the carb. I took it off to check the float and it was fine so when I put it back on, i have crossed a line somewhere.
