Re: electric fan in place of fan on engine?

why dont you just put a cool sounding fan under your plastics and leave the engine fan alone
p.s. you could probly take your flywheel to a machine shop and have them take off the equivalent weight of your engine fan if you are still concerned about it be parasitic

Re: needle setting

try the middle groove or play around and see which notch gives the best performance it shouldn't make your temps go up at all it just gives more fuel at lower throttle positions so it will give better take off/throttle response

Re: larger tires=slower?

sounds like your wieghts are too light, lighter weights give better acceleration and lower top speed and heavier weights equal the opposite

Re: Variator Backing Plate Question (93 ELite 50 SR)

you don't need the backing plate its just there to keep grease in which honda later decided was not necessary, infact the backing plate actually hinders top speed so toss it and skip the grease
p.s. if you grind down the sharp edges of the ramp plate your rollers will last longer

Re: Carburator fills with oil on my 87' Elite SE50.

it should not cost any money except for maybe new gas if you do this your self and if traffic jams is right and you oil line is in the wrong place it will be very easy and you wont need to drain anything

Re: ?Non-removable main jet?

thats very interesting your only option if that jet/housing is not threaded may be to find an appropriate size drill bit to up the size, or find a different carb http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewto ... =8&t=12839

Re: Elite cutting out at

not completely sure what your asking but it sounds like you have a kilswitch issue, does it stay running with the key out? or is it turning off while you are driving around?
