That scoot comes restricted so here is the poop on it.

The Elite S was restricted via a washer behind the variator, a smaller main jet and a highly restrictive exhaust. If you are going to de-restrict one, you should also know that the restricted Honda-Elite-SR-S-USA version has a different throttle cable that does NOT open the oil pump like the full speed version. Accordingly, the oil pump just runs at the set idle level at all times. If you derestrict yours, you can either run premix, replace the throttle cable with the regular version cable that ‘Y’s to open the oil pump or you can zip tie the oil pump to the wide open position and raise your emissions and oil bill a bit.

I'm not sure on that model scooter but I bought a Chinese scoot last year that sat in a garage for a few years. The Cdi was bad and would only allow me to get up to about 17mph. As a said though I'm not familiar with the old Hondas much. I had a spree but didn't like working on it and sold it.

ill get a video after work tomorrow afternoon. It seems to rev fine good and smooth it just has no power
It is by far the slowest thing I think I have ever rode on lol my mower on rabbit would murder this scooter haha all kinds of sound and no go.

Does it look like this between the fan and variator? If so you need to buy a unrestricted Boss.

Unrestricted Boss:

I would think the weights and belt are worn out too . I would do a compression test as being that old it may need new rings .

My buddys Elite takes off like a forklift very fast then slows down around 20 and tops at 30 . It is stock . I put 1.5k clutch springs in my 2T and wow takeoff was so much better as the springs engage 1.5k higher of RPMs than the stock ones . I had an Elite when I was young and it had more pep than my Tomos Bullets ( pedal mopeds ) , same top end but it went faster uphill .

I later bought a hot rod Spree with a 90cc engine man it was a beast . I never had a single issue not even a bulb going out .

Take a look at the clutch pads to see if they are worn or glazed up . With a 2T I always prefer to run rich than dead on it . A tuned pipe , upjetting or larger carb can do wonders once you get the jetting dialed in . Hondas usually have a Mikuni oil pump which should last forever . Just hope the oil tank does not leak as they will crack with age . I had Honda Express , Urban Express and Yamaha Towney and never had any problems other than tires wearing out . The rest of my moped collection were the pedal types like Tomos , Puch , Garreli and Motobecane which were premix of 50 to 1 or 3oz per gallon . A new NGK sparkplug can also do wonders . I opt to get the NGK iridiums as they fire better and not as likely to get fouled out by oil build up . The weed eater oil can do this as well as smoke all the time . The synthetic blend and full synthetics smoke at start up as hardly to none once warm and less likely to foul the plug as the cheap oils .

just ordered a belt I was also thinking it might be stretched do to age. But the thing that kills me is it sounds good and revs high on center stand but then if I hold the back break and gun it it bogs and gets no revs at all like it has no power.
