Re: 2001 Elite S

I spit the case using the harmonic balancer puller from autozone. Worked great. Now the bearings are stuck to the crank... how do I get the one off that is almost touching the big part of the crank? http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs053.ash2/36006_1517718504493_1280408001_1439206_7430840...

Re: 2001 Elite S

ALSO does anyone have any base gaskets for sale? I would go for 3-4 depending on the price. I had detonation issues before until I ran high octane... I would like to avoid that.

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t121/kingearwig/2001%20Honda%20Elite%2066cc%20big%20bore/broken/DSCN1695.jpg So as you can see I have a couple of allen screws stopping up the hoses in and out on the oil pump. obviously I run premix. So the question is other than the plug that I have seen others ...

Re: 2001 Elite S

so the bottom end is loose now. got it apart bore looks awesome. I am running about 5 oz oil per gallon. I had 2 base gaskets on it as last time it had almost too much compression for the starter and I felt it couldn't hurt to drop it a bit.
I will be splitting the case tomorrow or the next day.

Re: 2001 Elite S

I received the kit from Taz at like 3:00pm today. I had the top end and new final drive done in right around 2 hours. This is the first time I have had the motor and trans off of the frame. This is a much better way of changing the top end. I took the carb off at the reed valve and made sure my gask...

Re: 2001 Elite S

It looks like you derived the stroke of 41.02 from a 49.0cc displacement. That is how I did it... Honda specs the bore at 39mm and the stroke as 41.4, giving 49.4cc When I plug the numbers into plain old Excel, out comes 81.3cc (but I have not checked my work...) Regardless of what I came up with :...

Re: 2001 Elite S

it was damaged a little bit... but very it was minor... I kinda want it as a spare but if the price is right... what is your offer? I will take a pic tomorrow. Do you think the boost port holes caused me to need the huge main jet? the only other difference is that I replaced the by starter which fai...
