I finally figured out my problem.
My intake tube is half broke. When sitting still there's enough pressure against it to keep the crack mostly closed Then when you hit bumps the carb bounces and opens it up.

Yes that's the one. I emailed the seller and he has no clue what kind of condition the part is actually in so I wasn't inclined to buy it.
I'm trying not to buy a used part that has cracks in it already and on its last leg.

I have a 97 Honda elite ch80. I have a broken intake tube does anyone know were I can get one or does anyone have one?
I've called several dealers and the one that mine takes they say is not available any longer.
My intake bolts directly to the engine and directly to the carburetor. The other type bolts to the engine and clamps on the carb.
Any help would be appreciated, this is my only transportation

I already plugged the choke hole. I put the old one back in and put the screw in it. There's no needle but it keeps air out

When I had that problem, I rose the needle by 1 clip (made it leaner) and it went away and ran much better. Iain> The needle does not have adjustment on it like some gy6 carbs do. I've seen gy6 carbs both ways. |

From what you describe, it sounds like too much fuel is entering the carb and making it's way out that hose. The hose on the carb is normal, but fuel coming out of the hose isn't. Take apart the carb and check the float for damage-- there shouldn't be any gas in the float, so it may be damaged. Check the float needle valve, too, it's supposed to stop fuel from entering the carb once it reaches a certain level. I second this . you should not have fuel coming from this hose. I'd def check the bowl for float issues. At the same time I'm not sure why hitting a bump would cause the scoot to cut out , if this is the only issue. I'm just gonna take it apart and clean it good with carb cleaner but before I do I'm gonna check the float and see if it shuts off fuel. I don't get a lot of fuel dripping from the overflow just a drop every now and then. The bike only has 2500 original miles on it I don't see why I should be having any issues. But the 1st owners were an elderly couple that bought it new and when they died I bought it from their son. So it might have set awhile |

yeah, sounds like the needle valve is leaking a little. Before you go tearing into the carb which may or may not be beyond your mechanical skills, try running about a cup of seafoam in the tank at your next fill up then run the snot out of the bike. Manytimes it will clean up a sticking needle valve. Cheap and easy to try. I still think you are having a grounding issue or a bad plug boot. The plug boot is brand new. Not a cheap one either it's an ngk I bought separate from the coil. The ground is good, putting a wire from the negative to the frame or engine made no difference. |

If you don't look at those wires and electrical parts , you may just be spinning your wheels trying to find the problem. Not saying that the problem is def there, but if it is , and you don't check , your in for a long haul. I think I found my issue. Today I had the covers off my engine and rode for awhile. I noticed that on the carb there is a small hose that comes out around the top but doesn't hook to anything. Well it has fuel dripping from it, What would cause this? |

No. The throttle cable goes into the top. Mine is on the side Yeh , I noticed that after I posted it. What about the electric choke I posted about ? The choke might fit. But paying the shipping from Germany is crazy |

The gy6 carbs are different.
And I don't think I'm going to order one from Germany and pay 50 dollars shipping

Didn't know you could put a manual choke on there. I will look into that. I know I can get a cheap 2 stroke carb for around 45 bucks, the only thing is getting the throttle cable to go into the top instead of on the side

On most 2 stroke carbs have the cables going in the top. This one has the cable on the side of the throttle body (like the cheap 4 strokes). And no an enricher from a 4 stroke won't fit already tried that lol
