Man my scooter was starving for gas at the top of the throttle, i took my carb off and cleaned it last night and now my bike wont start, any ideas before i pull it apart and start over?
Hey Mike! It’s Erick, the previous owner of your Chevy Truck. I was wondering if there is any way I could contact you about possible negotiations for your truck? If there is, please let me know 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Elxqxi not there yet, but you’ll be the first to know how’s that sound?
Congratulations on your purchase! Great!
What contitech belts did you use?
Awesome tips thank you!
I fixed mine this weekend. I had the motor out in 40 mins going in via the boot. I really didnt want to take the hood off but uts good to see both methods for reference 👍🏼
Keep up the good work
@@jayr5331 thanks!
hey! are you in Colorado? still got this bad boy?
Hometown show...love it. Thankyou
Cool show, great cars! Thanks!
I got one of these that I'm trying to fix. I bought it when I was 18. It's 30 years old. It's been very reliable until recently. It kicks off intermittently regardless of what battery I try to charge? Can anyone steer me the right way?
Duct tape works too.
So what got fixed????
Hey Mike. thanks for all of your videos! Question: my honda elite 150 has white smoke coming out from under the seat area NOT the exhaust pipe (google advice only talks about exhaust pipe). The engine gets very hot after about 10 minutes of riding and a little smoke comes out. Any ideas what I should look at first? Has new spark plug, transmission fluid and oil. Just don't know what to focus on. thanks!
Humm, any smell to it? That usually can help. Coolant can be white smoke, sweet smell. Two small coolant lines go to the carburetor. 🤔
@@MikeTheFixer thanks Mike. If anything it smells of something burning. I’ll check those lines. Just had no idea where to start since smoke not coming from exhaust pipe!
Good video ,thanks
Without anti sieze, in 6 months, your shits going to be locked up. Use plastic.
Do you know why fuel would spew out of the little 90-degree vent hose? I'm trying to help a friend who has that problem.
Has anyone replaced the front suspension
Would love shocks front and rear that bolt in, new not old crap👍
Cool stuff
Seriously, TURN OFF THE VACUUM!!!
These rings aren't weight-bearing. They ensure the wheel is centered and that's it.
I'm a total newb, never seen this stuff before, so thank you for giving me some much needed visual info on all this! I wish you had shown how to put the carb back in, I feel like I'm going to need a lot of help lol
A suggestion maybe do another pass with the hone until you get a nice 45 degree crosshatch and using slightly thicker oil/fluid. I'm thinking of honing my sbc 350 at home as well. Good luck with your rebuild.
Good luck
People seem to have good luck with those impact screwdrivers that you smack with a hammer on the back to free up stubborn screws.
THANK YOU very much!! You show that this work can be done, this is the how to video. Thanks MikeTheFixer.
Can i install a mk1 golf shifter onto a mk2 jetta?... Im busy with a project its right hand drive from south africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for the video- So if im not using the blower why do i need that junction fuse block on the firewall by the brake booster?
Thanks again!! I never knew about that compartment.
Which setting on the voltmeter did you use to test that 90 ohm resistor?
Mike, have you ever used starting fluid for a cold start? I’m getting desperate 😅
Tight fit, nice parking.
Nice! This scooter is the reason why I found your site years ago. I have a 1984 Honda Elite 125 and followed your videos.
nice! thanks. just saw one of those on marketplace today forsale.
too bad the valves on my tracer 900 ain't like these haha. Great video, straight to the point, scored one myself can't wait to cruise that spaceship!
"So cool I didnt use it" LOL!!!! Nice shop.
Can you take the shaft out without remove the column?
Been too long, not too sure🤷🏻♂️
Wow super cool thanks
Thanks, good to know
Great work. I have ZERO patience.
Sweet ty
Thank you for posting. I need to change my rear tire and don't know how to get to it.
Horrible video to watch this is a classic example of what not to do in this situation you can remove the motor without removing the roof therefore saving you alot of time and frustration
Thanks for your positive comment. troll on👍
it stayed good? having this problem and it drives me crazy
Happy fathers day beast
Did replacing the connector fix your code error? I'm getting a p402 code and already replaced egr. Going to replace dpfe and solenoid at the same time next as still rough idling intermittently
Yes it did. The wire was broken under the insulation. Common issue I’m told. Main harness pulls down quite hard on it over time breaking it.
Those chargers work great. Ive been using mine since 1985. Thats great that you are fixing that one.
Cool stuff, it worked better than I thought it would. Thanks for that.
Thanks! Going to do more of the engine soon🛠️
Have you taken it apart and then you gonna return it or how would you do that you supposed to send me back a new one and I’ll take it apart you know they always take care of you, but I’m not too thrilled with Amazon sometimes
All cars have zero mess where it is when you have a shower rate then the vacuum goes away when it idles then you got vacuum you vacuum goes away when you accelerate the negative let off the gas goes positive. It’s supposed to be on zero.
English?
The manual on this scooter is really handy
