All my rebuilt and my toys for this year!!!!

Suup all need some advice. I have a friend that have had a Honda elite that has stop working a year an half ago. Now it is sitting in my garage. I have clean the carb ,change the air filter ,change the spark blug , i dump the old gas and old oil out . I've bought a new battery and change the fuse. I have tried to electric start it but not even a sign that says it will electric starts. So I tried the kick start . Nothing happen . Then I choke it with my hand it start but went dead again . I know it is not my carb because I clean it over and over . Every times I take the air filter out and choke it with my hand then put back the air filter box then kick start . It start for at least 15 second and died again. I am about to buy a compression tester to run a test. Question does it required a specific compression test ? Because I stop at auto parts today the cheapest one I saw was for $20.00.





Other questions
When I unscrew the fours screws on the top of the cylinder there is one part that seems it is glue and I can't reach the piston to look at it . How do I get the Piston out????????

When I finish running a compression test and change rings if needed would that result the fact that it can't electric start????????

When you put your hand over the carb to start it, do you also twist the throttle a little bit?

[Trafficjamz]

are you pressing the brake, when trying to E-start?

[Duke250]

Yes when I twist the throttle and choke it . But if I don't choke it and twist the throttle there is no sign it will start . The funny thing is if I don't twist the throttle and don't choke it there is sign it will start .

The by starter may not be functioning properly. there is an easy testing procedure in the wiki section of the forum. http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page

it's a starting place. good luck

Is it the bystarter because I also have a honda spree and and if I kick start it . It will start with out the bystater on the carb.

I suspect the pilot jet is still dirty......go clean it again.

thanks for the sites of the manual book . I was looking for one

[dun rite]

you might need to soak the carb in a carb cleaning solution. spraying it with carb cleaner doesn't always get the very small pilot hole cleaned out. or view this topic viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22645 if you know someone with the cleaner.

[Duke250]

I will try to clean it again but I had cleaned it like five times all ready with guitar string

[dun rite]

you were able to get the string through the hole?

[Duke250]

yes all of them except for the tiny one inside the bowls that hold the gas

[ragtop89]

That's your pilot jet hole.

I just put a picture up. Do you see where it says bystarter metering orifice . That is the only one i can't get a guitar string through .
