Honda Elite 150 won't start By traudok (Read 1,590 times)

So when I parked my Honda Elite 150 last November it ran fine.  I put fuel stabilizer in the tank.  Yesterday I tried to start it up for the spring and I got it to pop off a few times but it won't start.  After it popped off a few times now it just turns over and nothing.

Last spring I put on a new carburetor boot and new spark plug.

Ideas where I can start looking?

Is there spark? Must be if it popped. But is there fuel getting into the engine? Lots of people don"t like using ether but I do. I would spay a good wisp into the carb intake and then try starting. If you get a pop then look at the carb.

Id call fuel delivery as well,,,,did you put the fuel stabilizer in after you shut it down for the winter or did you put it in and run it for a bit?,,,I'd say carb jets are plugged up with varnish

here is what you need to do:

Usually what gets clogged up if fuel is left to long without running is the PILOT JET and its passage and the TINY HOLES by the BUTTERFLY. The Main Jet is pretty big so that is usually not the problem.
It is very easy to clean out the carb just take the carb off and take the carbs float bowl off usually about 4 strews.


Get a Spray Can of Carb Cleaner they come with a long thin straw to get into small holes and it creates good pressure.


1. Unscrew the Pilot Jet and Main Jet and clean them make sure you can see DAYLIGHT through them.
2. Then Stick the Thin Straw into the holes the JETS came out of and SPRAY.

THIS IS USUALLY THE PROBLEM THE PILOT JET AND THE TINY PILOT JET FUEL OUTLETS BY THE BUTTERFLY.
