Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

BMX I have a stupid question.
Do you have the air filter on the bike?
If you dont the vinturi carb will not feel fuel properly. Air going into the carb has to be slowed down by the backpressure the air box provides or the carb will cavitate.

Measure the hole in the rim. The valve stems go by hole size. 11.3 mm is standard for my 125 Elite and Helix
I would believe it to be the same on the 80cc. 11.3 mm is .05 inches so either .45 or .6 with a good rubber seal will work as long as it fits the hole.

The bystarter is only a choke to help it start.

Brad, Remove the screws and lift the choke slightly out of the carb while you crank the engine. If it starts the carb is ok, by-starter is bad. I live in Kansas City.

I figured he would Pre-mix but, looking back at the last pictures the oil tank was in place.

Looks really good Man! still need to source gas tank placement You could try using the top tube for oil and the bottom tube in the frame as a fuel tank. Fuel in frame like some Harleys do for their oil. Use a bladder like a Camelback bag Or coat the inside of the frame with Tank creme and use the re...

The Helix doesn't necessarily have that much more space, but it's classy and actually resembles a trunk, not an afterthought for using space available as the Elites seem to be. There is provision for a luggage rack which increases capacity considerable with the official milk crate. Well I do not ag...

Hello My name is Bob I have a small addition to all that was said. Have you checked to see if the exhaust is slightly clogged. I am new to this forum, in fact this is my first post. I am not new to working on engines. I have found many scooters that have been slightly clogged because of sitting too ...
