Happy New Year! At 11:52 PM on 12/31/03 you were messing with your idle and not celebrating? Just messing with ya! If you turn the idle screw in all the way...
Randy, Uhg, well I went out and tried to set the idle screw correctly, but I think it's completely messed up. I looked on the idle screw and the silver wire...
... but ... as ... Clear ... the ... high, ... Randy, I recharged the battery and still the baby isn't idling. The idle screw is really loose, like it isn't...
I know this has been addressed in the past but I am hoping that there is new information by now. I have a 1986 Honda CH250 Elite. It needs shocks and I can't...
Hi David! yes, indeed, we have talked about the shocks for the Honda CH250 in the past. If you search the archives for SHOCKS, you will find quite a few posts...
As always, excellent advice, Randy. I might add, when I purchased my '86 last year it had been a tad neglected. It shuttered, hesitated, and the usual things...
Very good advice JB! Of the three CH250s I have, all bought with less than 5K miles when I got them, the weight rollers were flat and the grease dried. The...
Correction- The Elite runs better with a 32.5 main jet (with the snorkel removed and the platic tab at the base of the snorkel cut out). Slow jet is 45 and the...
You probably mean a 132.5 main jet. 32 is near starving. What is the snorkel you refer to? The air filter box? I have found that a 120 main jet with a 42 slow...
The snorkel is the rubber elbow coming from the air box. removing the rubber elbow and cutting off the plastic restriction in the box itself. 45 slow, 132.5...

Carburetor likely needs to be removed and cleaned, midrange and high speed circuits sound like they are plugged. If it idles fine and has good slow speed...

Thanks guys from your suggestions. Still the same. I have removed and cleaned the carby. No dirt, no water, I used some fine wire to clean the jets. I did not...
I had a problem like this once on a Elite 150. It turned out to be a bad spark plug cap. Jack Stanley ... From: Martin Cole [mailto:martcole@...] Sent:...
Hello Martin! Doesn't sound like you have an electrical problem persay. But the bystarter performs both an electrical and mechanical function. A 2001 scooter...

I have had this elite 250 for some time. It has always been the loaner bike for friends that dont know how to ride. So they can ride with us. Just for kicks...
Speaking of dealer-installed options, my '85 CH250 has a Kenwood tuner and amp with handle-bar mounted controls. Do many of you Elite owners have this option...

Jason, Sounds prety cool what you have done to your scooter. However, you will have to find just the right buyer for it now that it is modified. Your...
For Peter Rudholm and Michael Terranova: The Honda Kenwood stereo option for the CH250 was almost the option that wasn't. Very few bikes have this option....
Thanks Randy, for the info. My scooter has the radio, speakers and amp option. If I remember correctly, it bumped up the price at least $400, but being able...
Hi Peter: That's true about disconnecting the battery in storage when you have the Honda Kenwood stereo option as it drains the battery due to its clock...
