Hey, I'm new to 2 strokes, don't tell my ruckus group lol.... but I have a 87 elite s 50. It only starts when I block the carb with my hand "self choke method " I put a new bystarter cleaned carb, petcock seems good, still same issue... anything I'm missing?

Here in Florida these are dime a dozen for parts if you check the right places. Even my 125 and 150 can be found here I bought 2 in the same week cheap. Right now there is a 50 on Craigslist for less than 400 complete and rideable.

I had a 150 Deluxe new in 86 and rode for 9 years. Best bike I ever had. Finding these is my mid life restoration crisis. The 125 only has 6K miles and the 150 has around 3500. 125 is compete and roadworthy picked up for $300 on Craigslist. Blue was a barn find gift from friend helping clean out the new garage at his shop. Tag last registered in 2006 and carb gone probably as ling from cobwebs all over everything. I stuck a battery in, sprayed starter fluid in the intake and it fired second try. Cant keep a real bike down.

Did you do a full service on it? I just picked one up but not sure how to change the oil on it.

@Mechanic_kid 3 жыл бұрын

I show how to change the gearbox oil in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5dnpdyovdisfnU.html GO TO TIME: 33:26. This is on a Honda spree but it’s basically the same location and oil for the elite. Also, I highly suggest switching to premix (40:1) and plugging off the oil injector line. Then you don’t run the risk of it failing and then your bike overheating. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. But go checkout the spree video because the bikes are basically the same.

Yes a rebuilt, and I mean really rebuilt not spray washed and gaskets, carburetor will always be better than a cheap made aftermarket chinese throwaway carb. They are made cheap just for that purpose and your classic bike will reject it quickly.
