Re: 94 Elite (SA50) suddenly died

Thanks for the links. Will I screw up the engine if I ride it as is for a month and then work on it in November (when, if I mess it up and it takes some time to get it back together, I won't feel so bad about not riding)?

Re: 94 Elite (SA50) suddenly died

Bear, thank you again for the advice. What you are suggesting is beyond my limited wrenching abilities, so I'm going to have to take it to a mechanic. At least I can give him some direction.

Re: 94 Elite (SA50) suddenly died

She runs! Thanks guys. All it took was a new spark plug. However, it will only start (cold or warm) with the air screw turned all the way in. I hadn't fiddled with the adjustment screws until it died. Then, when I tried to adjust them in order to get it to start, I noticed that the air screw was ...

Re: 94 Elite (SA50) suddenly died

Thanks Toad. I'll check that out along with Bear's suggestions. However, I'm somewhat of a noob working on scooters. I honestly don't know a capacitor discharge ignition from a flux capacitor. :wink: Where is the CDI? I have a service manual for the SA50, but only found one reference to the CDI in ...

Re: 94 Elite (SA50) suddenly died

Bear, sounds like you are saying that the motor dying has nothing to do with the oil light issue. Any ideas on why it died? Suggestions?

94 Elite (SA50) suddenly died

I recently purchased a 94 elite with approx. 2,400 miles. She ran great for about 100 miles; no problems. Then a few days ago, the oil light came on when I started it. It only took about 4 oz to top it off, and the oil light went off and it ran fine. Since then, the oil light has come when on when I ...

Re: 94 elite headlight question

The scoot isn't with me (it's 50 miles away at in-laws' house), so I can't take off the back handlebar cover and look. I was hoping someone on the forum would know. If not, I'll wait until I pick it up next week.

94 elite headlight question

Hello, I recently purchased a 94 Elite SR (SA50) and I'd like to order a headlight modulator from Kisan. I know that the modulator model I need to order is for 12V AC scooters. I have an option of 3 adaptors for the modulator: 1) 3-Pin for H4 bulbs, 2) 2-Pin for H7 Euro bulbs, or 3) 2-Pin for HB8 or ...
