Mwa hahahaaa It Lives!
Thanks to loads of good advice here on this forum and a lot of blood, sweat, and foul language, my elite E has gone from garage-space-occupier and running joke to 3 cubic inches of roaring (buzzing) terror. WOOHOO! In celebration I rode my still-not-entirely-reassembled scoot down to the coffee shop...

The Actual Scooter is cheap...
Yesterday with the purchase of a new petcock and piston rings from my friendly neighborhood honda dealer, I have official sunk more money into my elite E than I paid for the scooter, and it is still not presently self-mobile. (current price tag: 350 dollars, 170 of which is scooter) This is typicall...

Getting new-ringed piston back in
So I got some new piston rings for my Elite E, but all I could find was the rings off a fiche for an Elite LX. The picture looked I-freaking-dentical so I figured what the * lets go for it. The rings I got don't seem to want to seat into the piston enough to fit back up the cylinder. The width seems...

Does this mean I might be able to get a variable pulley into my Elite E?

89 elite E clutch swap?
Hi all, So I have this 89 Elite E (the one with the fixed drive like the spree but an elite body, thanks to everybody on here for helping me figure out the correct model.) with the two-part clutch. The two-part stock clutch is no longer available at any price, but I was wondering if I could just swa...

Your engine is basically a spree engine with a bigger better intake system. Aha! That explains it then! Thanks a ton for the clarification. Seems the place to start will be a new clutch/bell/belt, any suggestions for what to do with the front pully to make sure it grabs the belt properly? Is it pos...

Ok, got some pics that'll hopefully help one of you guru types: First off: the scooter itself: http://www.cygnature.com/bike/Scoot/ChickMagnet.jpg Chicks dig it. Bodywise it's pretty clearly an elite, and the VIN says it's probably the SA50P. Anyway, this is the smooth pulley that's mounted where th...

The plot thickens: I have no variator, just a big heavy disc pulley. Looking at the tech docs, that sounds like I have a spree, even though my body is distinctly an elite. If the transmission is a Spree transmission does that mean the Engine has to be too, or is it possible that some idiot has put a...
