Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

My scoot hasn't been registered in the last 10 years and it's going to cost me $60 to get it tagged, etc. in Oklahoma . . .

wow! I hope you keep updating, this will be fun to follow, thanks.

wow! can't wait to see the finished product . . .

if you want a knobby tire like a dirt bike you can get one for a honda xr50, thats what videonut uses on his spree he says he loves it. try them out. I'm afraid that would be too aggressive for street riding (pm'd videonut) . . . ? I would love to find something like this http://www.monsterscooterp...

Unscrew plug. Lay scooter down on its left side. Go have a nice cup of tea. Raise scooter. Squirt 3 oz of leftover oil from last car oil change back into hole. Replace plug. I always seem to overlook the obvious! LOL. I've been looking at tires on MCsuperstore, I wish they had a dual sport tire in ...

What all should I be doing to get this scooter 'road worthy'? I feel like I should change out the final drive oil but looks like that will be a very intense procedure . . .

I do have a oil soaked then 'ringed' out piece of 1/4" foam in it now but have Honda part ordered. Now to let the kiddo's brutalize it for a while (and me too!) then maybe some mods . . .

My problem is fixed for the time being. I replaced the plug and put the airbox back on, no more bogging.

got it running tonight, thanks to this board! Changed plug and put the air box back on, voila, it doesn't bog down anymore, LOL.

paid $250 but I may not be able to get a title, we'll see . . .

checked compression tonight, warm engine, WOT, kicked it about 10 times, 110 PSI. Can't wait until it's running right!

^ pretty sure it's fuel related but it can't hurt to have a new plug. I'll pick one up in the am.

OP: Have you come upon the solution yet? I have the same problem, haha. Guess, I'll stick the carb back in the cleaner and get some guitar string and report back.

Yep, got it running last night (cleaned carb/plug). It still needs work, it's starving for fuel now. I'm going to drain the tank and pull the petcock and clean the filter and try it again. Here's some pics from yesterday. http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh38/07yzfr1/DSC_5232800x600.jpg http://i25...

Nice site you have here . . . I just picked up a 1986 Spree over the weekend and found this site. Looking forward to hanging out here.
