2001 Honda Elite Hasnt been run in a few weeks. I took apart the front headlight and console so I could repaint it and clean it off. When I reassembled it all switches worked except the headlight and the left blinker. However When I unplugged them and put it together again I had no headlight and no ...

Re: 2001 Elite No Electric Wont Start

Like I said the electrical stuff seems to work if i jiggle the handle a bit. The horn will work faintly (battery is low after winter storage) but you can hear it honk. Its just as soon as I pull the handle back in it stops working again and I will have to re jiggle the handle to get it to work again.

Re: Problem with big bore kit

Well the bore was the 50mm Ruima bore i bought from toboggan. It came with a thin base gasket so im assuming thats what it was meant to use. The threads on both ends are a little longer than the stock ones so its kind of hard to tell if they are all the way in. Is there a better way to tighten the s...

Problem with big bore kit

I got it on but only 2 of the bolts actually would tighten down. So I tried the studs that came with the kit and they tighten in but I have no way o...

Re: WIRING HONDA ELITE IGNITION

so basically I am correct by wiring both black/white wires together and running them up to the new ignition switch? If that is indeed the case the engine is still not functioning correctly. Could it possibly have something to do with the on off switch?>
