Oil Question

First, an apology. Sorry, I'm a dumbass. I'm sure this has been answered a million times here, but I couldn't find it. I was at the scooter store recently and I bought a quart of Amsoil Interceptor synthetic 2 cycle oil. It says recommended for use where API-TC or JASO FC oils are specified.

I happened to look down and the speedo was BURIED to the right. the engine sounded like it was coming apart. I finally had to roll off. I was afraid it was ...

93 Elite 50SR Starts and Runs, but Won't Idle

Hi Guys,

My 93 Elite 50 died on me the other day. I can get it started (not easily) and it will run as long as I keep the throttle open, but it dies as soon as I come to a stop or as soon as I let the throttle go to idle.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm not a bad DIYer, but I know nothing ...

I'm not up on the lingo. Is the sa50 the same as an Elite 50? If so, did you see any preformance gains? Did you need to rejet the carb?

thanks,

Re: AF05E Exhaust List - Aero and Elite 87-93 engines

Has anyone ever gotten an exhaust that fit on an 93 Elite SR? If so, where and how much. I already have one exhaust that doesn't fit in my garage. I don't want another one.

Thanks,

Rear Axle Nut Torque - 93 Elite 50 SR

Guys,

The manual says 80 ft-lb for the rear axle nut. That seems pretty stout! Is that correct or am I reading it wrong?

Thanks,

Re: Heavier Rollers = More Top Speed?

Thanks guys. I'm starting to get it now. How about a 3.5 inch rear tire (currently 3.0)? Or am I beating a dead horse here without some sort of engine mod?

Heavier Rollers = More Top Speed?

Folks,

I have a 93 Elite SR. I just put in an aftermarket variator and some 7g rollers. It increased my top speed to about 42 mph, but I am wondering two things. First, did the rollers increase my speed, or was it the fact that I left the backing plate off? Second, would heavier rollers get me even ...
