Petcock Adaptor

Has anyone found a good way to use the larger, readily available petcock size on a spree tank ment for the smaller threaded version? I know I can seek out and find the smaller petcock but I would rather make it work with what I have.

Re: Honda Express NC 50 1978

I also have one of these sitting around with a broken starter spring. I know these are no longer available from honda and I have read on some other sites that there are a few methods of converting to a standard kick start assy. I think this has to be one of the worst design flaws of all time... is i...

Re: What is this scooter?

Well as I said I'm not really interested, especally at the price but i knew someone on here would know what it was. Just thought it might be some weird yamaha import or something fun like that. Thanks for the info!

What is this scooter?

Found this on CL but when I google NP50 it doesn't come up with much. What exactly is this thing? year(ish)? I'm not really interested at that price but 79 miles on the clock sounds sweet.

Re: 86 fuel tank on 85 spree?

Either of you guys have a good tank and/or petcock you want to sell? The interior of mine is so rusted that I think I may be better off finding a replacement. So far I have run across a few 86's so that's why I was asking.

Re: after years in storage...

I'm not looking for a gain in performance, simply a suitable replacement material so I don't have to wait for delivery. My auto parts store has a generic foam material used for making filter elements for chainsaws etc. Was thinking about cutting that to shape and giving it a try. I do however unders...
