Elite Acceleration
Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2010 5:35 pm
I am trying to figure out why my 88 SB50 honda elite accelerates so slowly. I tested the compression and it says its 120 after about 6 kicks. I opened up the carb and it was clean but I blew out the main jet just to be sure. I openeed the airbox and make sure the air filter was in there and it was, and correctly oiled. After the scooter hits 15 MPH it accelerates quickly and will go to 35 + MPH without a problem. I have the air fuel mixture screw at 1 and 7/8 turns out. I have messed around with these screws but nothing seems to help the acceleration. Thanks!
