Hay Jimmy,
Yes I tried the online books with no results.
I have tried to find the guys trough E-mail adres, and then I must pay for the search.
Why I'm searching for the former owners!!
Because I found some papers underneath the saddle,
and let them know that there former Eli is in the Netherlands (Europe)

:D so anyway i bought my 86 eliminator last month. it only has 8300 miles on it. it sat for a few years and the carbs need cleaned but i found a guy who said he could have it running like brand new for $250. cant beat that with a stick.
 
$1000

Did you get the carbs cleaned? I have a cheap fix for the plug wires and plug caps if your interested.

What's the cheap fix for the plug wires and caps???

(and I see .. one more post and I lose my training wheels and move to a moped ... woohoo!!!!!!)
 
I've just been and bought 4 "silicone" leads .. two local auto parts stores don't carry copper core sparkplug wire anymore!!

So have to cut the moulded ends/caps off them and clean and re-use the existing caps etc.
 
Cool .. thanks for that Mark .. I'll see if I can source those caps locally ..

I'd read about them elsewhere but thought you may have had another solution besides that.

Good to see membership rising .. keep up the good work ... much appreciated!!
 
you're welcome. good luck locally, i called NGK in the USA and they couldn't even help me get those. Yea membership is rising, i guess you could say beta testers :wink:
 
yea i got it for $1000 + $250 for the repair total$1250. not bad for an 86 eliminator with only 8300 miles. it will run i had it up to 110 mph. but then it bogs at 110 mph. i still have 4500 rpm's to redline so im guessing top speed of around 140-155mph.
 
You are probably running out of fuel at 110, Ive had the same problem with my ZL1000. I just did a petcock kit and cleaned the screen now she will do 130 +
 
The plugs are HONDA. Goto you Honda dealer give them the NGK number they are 4.50 per here in Cincinnati.
The end caps screw right off

I used Accel 7mm Solid core wires got them from Advanced Auto parts for 19.00

Yellow wires kinda go with a black bike
