Honda Elite 80 Scooter Failed Run/Cruise Of 2009

[jojojosmart]

put a kick start on it.

[TheGizmo4382]

I have the same issue when I start my Elite. It runs at fast idle and then it slows down, then dies. It only does it when it's cold. Now, I let it run for 30 seconds then just go. That way it doesn't die on me.

i own one of these and runs awesome ;D cold start is not a problem. give it a little gas while on the starter. the bike runs on tiny batteries so it better to give it juice while not overusing the battery.

AH SHIT! I forgot to put fuel stableizer in my lawn tractor! DAMMIT! Well it is about a quarter tank of fuel so I guess I could just drain it and out fresh fuel in it. I hope the carb is not clogged.. Forgot to let it run until it died. But I did it with all my other equipment so I guess I would only need to clean 1 carb :)

[ActiveWorldsLunitic]

Haha, just like my old 2000 Elite SA50, that thing would never start when it was cold!

[tjharris81]

LOL @ 4:37. Stupid things.

Hey cool, im trying really hard to fix up my 02 elite. I just got to buy a new spark plug n maybe it will get started.

[Fandorin72]

i got the same exact scooter, but from 2002. My scoot starts and runs like a charm:) love my little scoot:)

[carsnwomen91]

and even if its cold it shuold start. at 3:16 what were u trying to achieve with the kill switch turned off. it has a choke/enrichener if it needs to start. oh and 2 strokes are loud and the do last as long a 4 strokes and are just as reliable in the scooter world + they make more power. all u do is add oil to the oil tank or premix into ur tank and ur good to go. my friends moped crossed 15000km be4 needing a rebuild now he's got 22000km with a larger engine and its still running strong.

[carsnwomen91]

1. ur supposed to disconnect the battery be4 storage 2. stabil is very easy to use. u calculate how much u need with something called a calculator or ur brain. 3. drain fuel from carb 4.top up ur tank with stabil. 5. put battery into trickle charger if needed. stabil is easy... add 100ml to each 30L. estimating ur tank is about 7L u add about 20ml. u can even put 100ml it won't be harmful. its a grade 5 math problem ur just lazy. internet has google, use it

3:26 lmao

[stlouissux9119]

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

is that a 2 stroke?

[craig1974]

no its 4

[craig1974]

I would of never bought a 2 stroke anyway. Noisy as hell, and dont last as long.

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

k didn't know what it was, i seen a lot of 2 strokes scooters, and i used to have a 2 stroke scooter, and has a top speed of 45 mph, and i had it since new, and i put on well over 12000 miles on it and it still runs before i sold it, so it depends on what kind of 2 stroke oil goes in the scooter, anyway, nice scooter :)

[craig1974]

Wow 12000 miles is not too bad. I guess if you dont beat the crap out of it anything lasts.

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

oh it's been well taken care of, never went off-roading, beat up, unlike these kids treats their scooter, i never left mine out in any weather, always garaged, and washed 1 or 2 times a week

[gatrwrks]

Have you seen a cushman scooter before and they have 2 stroke engines too.

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

yes i have, i seen a cushman scooter i like to have, one was equipped with a hatz diesel engine, he said that thing will run up to 65 mph and gets well over 225 MPG

[scholaptitude]

@SpiritsoftheWolf its a 4 stroke. i just bought an 86 with 8000km. runs pretty good. goes 70 kmh

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

@scholaptitude, awesome, i just never seen the engine, just the scooters on the roads but never seen the engines on them so i didn't know :)

[biggray94]

Dont let the battery go bad u cant hold your words 3:17, that was funny sounds like me.

[1G0TP1NK8C1DB00TS0N9]

YAY cold start. I wish mine started up that easily lol. Let her warm up Craig LOL. I love your milk carrior! Yeah that snow blower is aged pretty bad but like you said works awesome. That happened to me Craig on my scooter cold start vid and if you watch it you will see I did. I hate dead batteries. WOW holly shit! I can't believe you got it started again! bad luck in the end though. Thanks for sharing

Peace :)

[craig1974]

I charged the battery for a bit, and she started right up. I bought a new battery charger because i think my old one took a shit on me. The new one is better though. It has automatic shut off, and jump start. I think the scooter battery energy was a little weak after cranking it all winter. I knew it was going to have that problem anyways because the last start up i could feel the battery weaken. The Honda Elite 80 is prone to warm up poorly if a little chill is in the air. 60 degrees awesome!

[craig1974]

Yeah the basket is from an older 1960's Honda motorcycle the previous owner had in his garage. The pillow is more like a cushion to prevent the milk from bouncing, and bursting going over bumps. Not just milk. Anything thats glass, or fragile.
