Ok. Thanks again Neil Cheers!

Thanks Neil Where to put the thick oil? Inside where the flyweights and little spring are? or inside on the splines on the shaft the bendix gear travels on, on its way out to engage the ring gear? The dealer worked on this starter a year or so ago, so i don't know what "adjustments" they made...

Perfect! That was what i hoping to hear. I have one on order. It is the aftermarket part (SMU5011), not the genuine Honda part (31209-GE1-714), so i hope it is indeed a well made unit. I will stretch the spring a bit, and if i ruin one, i will have a "backup" since the Honda unit comes with one...

I appreciate the reply. Cheers!

My 2011 GG EC300 is having some "issues" with the starter. I read all the incredible information Bobt250 wrote in his post about the starter on the 2011 EC300 he has. I also read all the posts after it. What a LONG read, but great info. So, I had a few questions . . . First off, i have...

Is your bike a 2011 ec 300 with the 36mm carb? Where are you located?

It got cold enough here and I started seeing snow in the mountains, so i started getting my snowmobile ready to go. I have not tried the NEDW needle yet. I have actually considered returning it and getting the NEDJ like you suggested. Probably wont ride much, if at all, until spring. I will be...

Oh . . . gotcha. I misunderstood. I use TORCO SSO 100% synthetic premix oil at 40:1

Thanks for your input gentlemen. . .much appreciated! I sometimes wish there was a cross reference chart that would show how these needles differ from each other . . . like what each letter in the needle stamp means. That would sure be helpful :) Any other comments or suggestions?

I am using premix of 40:1. Also using 91 octane non-ethanol gas.

I have just purchased a NEDW needle to try in my 2011 GG EC 300. I have been having a substantial amount of "drool" with my current jetting, though the bike does seem to run very well. Typically on a 50 mile ride, the drool will go the entire length of my silencer and drip off at the bottom. I...

Sent my $5 and SASE off today. Tried all kinds of gasket material and they either shrink or expand when exposed to gas...GRRR!!! This is my last resort unless someone else knows of another trick.

In combined riding i am hitting reserve at about 85 miles, on stock 2.5 gal (9 liter) tank. Those who are only getting 40 miles probably need to set their float level. More than likely pissing fuel out the overflow as they ride anything other than moderate terrain.

Maybe the lead in the Gas? Sunoco 110 race gas has lead in it, so maybe that is why you are getting a different color on your plug? Question: Do you have modifications on your bike that require that high of octane? If not, i would be surprised if you are detonating and therefore in need of...

My dealer said mine was a 38 mm too, but it is actually a 36 mm. The literature also says mine should be a 38 mm but it is not. You probably already know this, but there is a stamp on top of the carb close to where the cable goes into it. Whatever that stamp says is what you actually have. What...
