I found one doing a web search for 148 plus 8 for shipping but still that's ridiculous! Especially when I can go buy them all day for 10 bucks each for any off brand scooter

geh3333, I wish it were that simple. If you don't have a choke when it's about 55 or below it won't even attempt to start. The only way it's been able to run is if I put my hand over the carb and fire it up (so manually choke it) I wish it was like my Razz used to be and had a manual choke I hate those electrical enrichers anyway.
I know at least 15 people that have off brand 4 stroke scooters and even brand new they won't run below 50 degrees and it ends up being the choke bad.

I am in need of a choke for a 2003 Yamaha Vino 50 2 stroke. I called the dealer and just for the black electrical part that goes on the carburetor they call the "starter" is $200 that's outrageous!
I have tried eBay and doing a web search only finding new ones, i would like to find a used one. Does anyone know of any salvage yards in the US?
I know my choke is no good because the needle is broke off of it.

I have wire and crimpers that sounds like an easy thing to try before I tear into the front. The weather here hasn't been very cooperative it was 80 for 2 days now it's in the 50s and raining so I will have to wait till I get a nicer day to tinker with it

Another thing I noticed is when I take off it cuts out for a second before I get full power. And at top speed (around 45) it cuts out a tiny also. I've taken the carb off and checked hoses and the intake tube.
I haven't had any of the front plastic off yet as soon as I get the extra time I will, it seems like quite a job just from the looks of it

Ian, I have checked all wires, none are bare or in bad shape, it doesn't bother it when I drop it off the stand. And I checked the wires by the flywheel and they look ok to. I even took a spray bottle of water last night and went through and sprayed everything to see if I had an spark or short but didn't find any

I've checked the coil wires that plug into it, they are in good shape and tight, I replaced the plug boot and swapped out plugs with an old one just for the heck of it.
I can't figure it out. I even ran it on the kickstand and had a friend hold it half throttle and I took a rubber mallet and tapped on the carb, then coil, then the CDI unit and it never missed a beat

I have a 1997 Honda elite ch80. For some reason when I am going down the road if I hit a bump my engine looses power briefly.
It really has me puzzled, I have checked all my wires they are tight with no bare ones. I swapped out my coil thinking maybe the end was bad, I have taken the carb off disassembled it and cleaned it and nothing has made a difference. I also checked the fuel line for kinks.
If I sit on my scoot and have the engine running and bounce on it the engine doesn't cut out, if I go over a railroad track or hit a bump while moving it cuts out.
Any suggestions

I just checked the pressure in my front tire and it was at 42 so hopefully I took care of it by letting some air out.
This scoot only has 2300 miles on it I wouldn't think that any bearings were bad, the first owner barely rode it they were an old couple they had the maintenance up to date at the dealer. When they died I got it from the estate sale

I have had different weights in every 50cc scoot I have owned, they are always 16x13 but weights have varied from 5g to 8g. If your a smaller person I would use a heavier weight so that you get a tiny bit more top speed but not to heavy to kill your acceleration after 15mph or so. Most 50cc will do good up to 15 or so on a flat surface then the rpm drop and it takes forever to gain speed. If you go with light rollers it will keep the rpms up but it will use more fuel, less top speed and it's harder on the engine when ran for long periods
I agree with onewheeldrive I used the GPS speed app on my phone and every off brand scoot I have had has been off by at least 5 to 10mph at top speed. Even my TOMOS Nitro 150 was off. This Honda ch80 I have now isn't off

I have a 97 Honda elite ch80, it has around 2300 original miles on it. It did this before I replaced the rear tire also. The front tire is the original tube tire and looks to have over half tread left.
For the past few months I have had an issue with wobbling in the front end. Its not apparent when accelerating but when I let off the throttle and hands off the handle grips then it starts to wobble. I've noticed it is worse when I either have an extra rider or am carrying groceries in my crate on the back.
What would cause this? I have checked the wheel bearing it's quiet and I have checked for play in the front end and I have no slop in the handlebars back and forth. When I apply the front brakes the front end does drop down some, but the dealer said that's normal.
