Re: 87 Elite Battery suggestions
Yes, basically. To really assess it you need to disconnect at the rear brake. Cable should glide freely, almost zero friction (which new cables have.) If it works, don't mess with it, just something to watch. Remembering they are sort of a pain to replace as you have to thread them through the fram...

Re: 87 Elite Battery suggestions
Try to tighten the rear brake cable adjustment screw a few clicks. Just dont over-tighten and create drag. Inspect brake shoes and replace if needed. Shoes are cheap compared to buying a new wheel. Thank you. The former owner stated he replaced the tires and brakes. I just printed and bound the man...

He shared with the battery almost dead, th...

Re: 2001 Yamaha Jog
I would check the petcock and the carb fuel inlet valve seat. Sometimes mine on my jog gets clogged with debris, seems like a very small carb and it gets clogged easy. 49ccscoot.com has lots of info on these motors, so does 2strokeassassins.com Thanks, we just got it back together... it runs but th...

Re: 2001 Yamaha Jog
Welcome back donut... :hi: I just bought this '93 Jog Artistic Spec. It is doing the same thing. The carb has already been cleaned to get it to a running status. Runs great for a block, then no gas for a few seconds. I suspect two things. Collapsed, deteriorated fuel hose, and / or debris in bottom...

Re: New Spree owner
$50 tops.... but add up what you'll spend (even used) to get it running and looking ok... no title? matters by state... either where you live now or are moving to... most states that require title are time consuming and costly to get the title... I'd only buy this if I need certain parts ... as you ...
