awesome little scoot.... it looks like it's great shape.... is it air cooled or a water pumper.... I thought all the 150's were air cooled (it might be a 250)

I am doing some work on my old 1984 Elite 125. From what I have found out, the dimensions of the belt are 799-19-28 made usually by Bando. Available on ebay. When I take the pulley off I will check out the rollers to see how they are after 12,000 miles and 29 years. I bought it new but it has sat around a lot, including a stretch of 17 years. Fuel tank was a mess. The Elites do not have the GY6 engine, that is Chinese. The Elites have a far better engine.

Yes there's still part available, and the nice thing about those old Honda motors is they're practically bombproof (even at WOT) plus you get that vintage 80's retro styling too!  |

The real honda's are better because of the materials used and the quality controls but the DNA of the Chinese GY6 is Honda. Look at the side oil drain cover plug, if it's a water pumper and I'll bet it says Gy6. =) |

For a scooter that seemed to run well the variator was a mess inside. The guides were broken, a roller was chipped, and the grease was gluey and made a thick puddle under the driving wheel. I am waiting for new guides and 16 g. slides.
