I had been reading the forums for a few months and never realized that this forum only deals with 50cc bikes. Well right before I realized this I bought a 80cc Elite thinking I was going to call this website home.
Needless to say, it is hard to find info on my bike. I've accomplished getting the service manual (which I gave to noiseguy to post) and I've actually started my own little honda ch80 website, BUT I have a question.
My carb has that gross electric bystarter (choke) and on the bottom of the bowl there is a jet that is stamped into the main body of the carb.
Here is a picture of one that is attached correctly. Mine won't stay in the carb body.
My question is this...
How can I reattach my jet in the hole? I was told at the honda dealership that those are normally just pressed in there when built but I could try some jbweld but just a tiny amount to keep from clogging the jet.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? The bike works fine with this piece broken, but it does have a hard time starting SOMETIMES (after sitting about two days). So I guess it doesnt work FINE but it is close.

Skinny Pipe or Enlarged Hole?
Greetings:
From the photo - nice job, by the way - I would suspect that there is a teeny-tiny o-ring that is supposed to hold that pipe in place which has been lost. I can't imagine how the press-fit could have become so ill-fitting otherwise. If the Manual or Honda Parts and Service can show you a diagram of the carb "blown up", you could confirm. If so, can you find a carb rebuild kit for it? Honda "kits" are sometimes actually several different "kits" - one for the float valve, one for the bowl, etc.
