That's not the only place that sells them. Half the time "finding" a part is simply a matter of getting the terminology right (the name they call the stupid thing) If you look under "Ch80 pipe inlet" there are multiple dealers for it. Good luck!  |

Anyone here have a CH80? How do you get the intake tube off? I've tried everything and can't get to either inside nut

The trouble is you can't even get a wrench to the nut on the inside of the intake or carb. From the looks of it the muffler and wheel have to be removed to get to the inside nut on either the carb or at the engine.
And I haven't been able to find anything on YouTube or doing a Google search.
Someone made a video how to change the spark plug...lol this one is the easiest I've ever seen to change

I used to have an orange coil on it along with a high performance cdi but after a week the coil went bad and I swapped it all back out to the stock parts |

For some reason when I ordered the correct part in the pictures online it shows the intake tube bolted to the head and clamped on the carb. That is some type of error because all of the elite ch80s are bolted to the head and the carb. In order to get to either inside nut to unloosen the back wheel has to come off. Well unless you have a 3 inch long open end wrench then you would have enough room to take it off at the head first. And Sockets are to fat and won't fit between the nut and the intake tube. |

Sounds a lot like my Honda NB50, the inner carb mount bolt was designed by Satan.. I had a 8mm wrench that I could get maybe a 1/4 turn on, then flip the wrench over, another 1/4 turn. This scooter also had a similar hit a bump cut out for just a second. Only on really stout bumps though. I'm sure it was an ignition issue, it just wasn't that bad so I never resolved it. |

Same issue here, if I hit a manhole cover it would cut out. And the nut on the inside on the engine side on my ch80 was also created by Satan. |

I finally got my part in and I tackled fixing my scoot this morning before the sun was even up. Below is how I did it in case anyone out there is in my situation and wants to do it themselves instead of paying a shop for 2.5 hours of labor. (It really isn't as hard to do as you would think) 1. get an old Taiwan 10mm open end wrench, cut it off so it's about 3.5 to 4 inches long. (The shorter the better as long as you can still grip it) 2. Take off all three body panels. 3. Remove the obvious fuel line and air lines from the carburetor 4. Unbolt the rear fender and move it so that it rests on the back tire 5. Remove the outer nut from the engine side of the intake tube. 6. Now use the 10mm wrench you made to work the inside nut off. 7. Last thing is remove the carburetor from the intake tube. Then re-assemble. If you want to take extra time and create more work for yourself you can remove the rear wheel and muffler. I figured for the price of a .99 cent China wrench I would take the easier route. If you have issues finding the part as I did, here it is: www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/honda/HP-17110-GE1-832.htmlIf you do not want to order direct from Partzilla's website, they have an eBay store also. Just copy and paste the part number into the eBay search bar, this is the only way you can find it because they do not have it listed under "Honda Elite CH80" I apologize if there are grammatical errors, I typed all this after a 14 hour day of work plus fixing my scoot before I even went to work at 4:30am. |

And thank you "spandi" for helping me find the part I needed. I can't count how many times that this discussion forum has saved me in the past, back when it was still ScootDawg even. Its too bad that there aren't more people out there that use these groups, some people would just rather take the lazy route and pay a shop some ridiculous hourly rate to do something that a 7 year old could do |

To tell you the truth I got a kick out of it when I had the "Eureka" moment and knew I had found it!  |
