Getting an Elite SR tommorow

[bradbutlernc]

Found it for sale for 150, offered 100 and getting it tommorow after work. Guy says it doesnt run but has compression, no spark. Electrical issues can be $$ but i figure worse case scenario i put a couple hundred in it, and still have a sweet scooter. Any tips i need to know about these? I assume the engine is about the same as the spree, except these have a variator?

Greetings:

Nice score! you have a little work ahead, but the price was pretty good.
The SE/05 Variated AF05 Elite engine which yours appears to be - single-piece belt cover, right? - shares very few parts with the NQ/05 Spree except the horribly confusing AF05E markings on the gearcase cover. I'm guessin' the number 5 was Honda-san's lucky number. Anyway, cranks, pistons, cylinders, heads, pipes, ALL different as they could be with the possible exception of the stroke length - both 37.4mm as I recall. Does the exhaust header angle 45 degrees to the right? IF so, it's an SE/05.
