Stock bore is 39mm. Divide by 25.4 (MM per Inch) = 1.534". Inch and a half should work. For Big-bore kits, divide by the same factor. 2" for a 50mm.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

Like the title says, I'm looking to hone the cylinder on my '97 Elite SA50. I'd like to use a flex hone and I'm wondering what size I need.

no ... i think you have a 12 mm wrist pin and the other has a 10 mm wrist pin...

Okay, thanks. I thought that likely wouldn't work out.

I'm coming closer to wanting that malossi kit. At $160 for the kit shipped plus finding a bigger main jet (85?), it'd be around $170-175 to get my ...

Thanks for the responses. I'd go with a malossi if my elite was in better shape. I can't see spending anymore than absolutely necessary on this one though. If I find a better elite then I'd sell my current scooter and go that route.

I just need it running again as cheap as possible. Will a SB50 bbk ...

I have a '97 Honda Elite SA50 with a ruined cylinder and piston so I'd like to get a big bore kit. I'm looking for something cheap that will work as the body isn't very nice on this elite.

I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/performance-50mm-90cc-Big-Bore-kit-KYMCO-ZX-SYM-Honda-Elite ...

Rings went. Cylinder and piston trashed. Time for a big bore kit.

If your scooter isn't the prettiest to begin with, I've found that small zip ties work great for repairing the plastic panels. My scooter is black and with black zip ties it isn't even noticeable unless you're inspecting it up close. Plus, it gives it a nice Nightmare Before Christmas feel... Just ...

It's only been since fall, but it feels like it's been forever since I last rode my elite!

Anyway...

I have an elite that had its engine seize due to lack of oil. It had a minor abrasion on the cylinder wall and the piston needed a little correcting, but with new rings I got it to run for several ...

Hey everyone, time for an update.

So I moved the needle clip down one, tightened the air box up better, drilled a second hole, and installed a 78 main jet and she's now running perfectly. 35 on level ground and approx 27 up hills. I can run it at full throttle all day long without issue. I'm very ...

Good job cleaning the muffler out, i've used both methods with good results.
Thanks

Hey if you dont want to tie the oil pump open then you would have to buy a split throttle cable. From what I have done and have heard alot of on here is to just tie it open then add a cap full of oil to a full ...

Finished cleaning the exhaust. This is what the solution looked like after:

Very dark. I rinsed it thoroughly with a garden hose and then used a shop vac to blow air through it so it would dry quickly and push out any remaining ...

Again, I really appreciate the responses. Thanks.

Presently, the exhaust is stewing in a lye solution:

This guide (http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title=Exhaust_/_Muffler_Cleaning) recommended avoiding "dry powdered drain ...

That's extremely generous of you, quite the welcome here. Pictures I can do, in fact... Just took off the exhaust to inspect, and I find I don't really know what I'm doing.

I read this: http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title=Exhaust_/_Muffler_Cleaning

Is that what I should plan on doing? I ...

Thanks for the response. I'll have the exhaust cleaned by tomorrow and will post the results. I live in Grand Rapids.

First post here, though I've frequented for some time now.

I have a '96 SA50P Elite which I purchased a couple of months ago. It had been sitting in a garage for about two years. It's still restricted, though soon to be remedied after I address the current issue. The first few weeks I put about ...
