Honda Elite 50 died mid ride?
So I was riding my honda elite 50 scooter yesterday and out of nowhere, the scooter just turned itself off and I coasted to a stop. This has happened once before and the last time it happened, it was due to lack of oil in the gas. The scooter is a 2 stroke and needs oil mixed but has a separate tank for it. Last time, the tank was empty so I assumed I just hadn't put oil in it in a while but when I checked the tank this time, it was still half full.
Electric start won't do anything but kicking it sounds like it wants to go. It was pretty cold yesterday so I don't know if that would do anything. Could it be the battery or maybe just the spark plug?
I hope that the last time it stopped, it was because the safety switch shut it off, and not because it actually ran out of oil. Once it starts, the cold temperture outside should not effect it. It would be good to get it inside for a few hours to warm it up for the next starting attempt. Charge the battery, make sure the terminals on the battery are clean and re-attach and tighten. May as well clean (or change) the spark plug, because that is bound to help.
Other than that, it could be any number of things.
From previously running without 2 stroke oil, the piston & rings would have started to ware out.
Maybe you caught it in time to prevent any major damage.
This time it sopped running because the slight ware from lack of oil last time, the piston & rings only had a little bit of life left in them and wore out completely.
Check the cylinder compression.
Get a tune up first. Clean the carb.
- Are there several 2012 transit buses by mid-2011? I'm starting to wonder because I already saw the 2016 Honda Pilot as well as the 2016 Acura RDX on the road (aka in mid-2015). And these cars got upgraded by model year. So, does this mean that there were several to plenty of 2012 transit buses in mid-2011? a) yes b)no And do transit buses often get upgraded by model year just like cars do? a) yes b) no When you answer, can you give me an explanation?
- When did the Honda Odyssey model get a third seat in the mid and rear rows? I think it was 2011 but I'm not sure. I'm going to goto a junk yard, remove the three seat rows and install them in my 1993 Honda Wagon and my 1995 Honda Odyssey. http://www.newcars.com/honda/odyssey/2011 http://www.autotrader.com/research/article/car-reviews/197705/2013-honda-odyssey-new-car-review.jsp NEW PLAN: Buy middle seat for 2nd row and additional seatbelt for third row.
- My cbr 125 feels very sluggish and starts twitching on mid range, starts exactly on 6k and stops on 7k? Before 6k and after 7k the acceleration is good and quick, before i had problems where the engine would just cut out when hot so i changed the ignition coil with original honda one but this problem is still there, i just don't know where the problem could be, the carb has been all cleaned and a bigger jet to match the new exhoust was fitted…
