New (old) Honda Metropolitan for Wifey By gmoney (Read 3,318 times)

[gmoney]

Yesterday I bought a 2004 Honda Metropolitan with 60 miles on the clock for my wife. I verified the mileage and gave it a good once over before buying it. Everything is as it should be except for the fuel gauge. It will only read just above the empty mark even with a full tank. I checked the fuses, all good, check wiring, all good, and attempted to remove the floorboard so I could check the sending unit in the tank. I removed 8 screws and attempted to pull up the floorboard but it wouldn't move. I'm thinking that the sending unit is probably frozen up or stuck near the bottom due to it sitting for the past 7 years. There is only a very slight amount of rust in the tank, nothing serious. The fuel has been replaced and a complete service was performed by a local Honda dealer prior to the seller selling it. What I would like to find is a Honda Metropolitan Service Manual. Anyone know where one can be had for free??

Here is a picture of the new scoot! By the way, it runs awesome and is in pristine condition for it's age.

That's a pretty little Metropolitan, gmoney. We wish you the best of luck with it. The manuals (free) are hard to come by. The staff here has been trying to compile as many manuals as possible especially for the non Chinese variety. Still looking for a Met manual.

Congrats on a nice find and great present for the wife.

The Metro shares the engine with the Ruckus. You can find more info here:

They have almost every Honda manual except one for the Metropolitan, sorry. At least it's a place to start. Good luck.
