I was driving my scooter about 35-40 MPH and all of the sudden my muffler started to make a much lower-toned sound that immediately got my attention while still accelerating and driving like normal. I came to a red light and pulled my scooter all the way to the right side as my muffler was still projecting a much lower-toned sound than usual. Upon a complete stop my scooter died and I have not been able to start it back up. I just (2 weeks ago) spend $287 fixing it with a new battery, cleaned out carburetor, and other general maintenance. It worked perfectly fine for those two weeks and then the above-described situation happened. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
1985 Honda Elite CH80 died while driving and won't start back up?

It is an old model, it's probably just dead. If you do not mind buying used scooters, I suggest looking some up on Craigslist in your local area. You can get some really good deals as low as $300 to $500 for the higher end brands, like Yamaha and Vespa, which would easily cost you $1200 or more if you bought them new.
When looking on Craigslist just make sure the dealer provides photos and detailed information and at least a phone number, otherwise don't bother.
No offense, but this is one of the most useless answers to a question ever posted. I am very aware of how to use Craigstist and am fluent in how to negotiate deals for anything I purchase. This was a question that I needed to be answered with some sort of knowledge, not "Its an old model its probably just dead." Thanks for nothing and stop posting your useless thoughts on questions that need legitimate answers. FYI... I've driven 1,500 miles on it since I got it over a year ago so your "its an old model, its probably just dead..." is nothing more than an baseless opinion.
