I have a 1986 honda elite CH80 that ran fine for the three years that I had it, then one day the engine seized. When it did I noticed some parts of the engine were extremely hot, so i believe it is from overheating. I ordered a new piston, rings, and some gaskets for it and replaced them. The engine started right up but when I pull the throttle it shakes hard. I also think it started to heat up again so I turned it off right away. I have no idea what is wrong with it now and am really frustrated with it. Anyone know what could be the main problem? What exactly would be causing it to shake so hard and also overheat?

The 4T model ? Check the oil level . Running to lean like air leak in the intake or exhaust will make it run hot . If the timing got advanced it can do so as well . If the oil pump is clogged it may be preventing oil from pumping

You may have issues with the main bearings too not just rings and pistons did you check the bottom end when it was off the bike?

It may be an air leak, because I left the old crank case gasket on and it was ripped up a little bit. Also it is definitely leaking oil a lot. Do you think the best option to start with would be to replace every gasket on it? Is it worth it to order the exact gaskets, or can I just buy a sheet of it and cut them out my self?
