Been having issued with throttle cable breaking, the metal housing inside rusted out and broke so it would not slow down. So I took and clipped the throttle cable off from the splitter and used a nut and washer to the frame to tie the throttle cable down so I can still ride it... if unsafe due to wo...

Mine gets around 75mpg

Nice bike. I have the Elite model with same carb. But be careful with it, or you might strip the fragile threads to bolt it on. Mine ended up being damaged but the newer carb I picked up bolted on with replaceable nuts.

I'm thinking of buying this machine. How fast were they stock and how easy can it be modded. If I am correct, there are many things you and get and or modify to fit these to really run. I like the small 50cc elite/ spree types Thanks for your help!! Ronnie The SE50 unrestricted model runs 35 easy, ...

My SE50 stock hits 40mph, but 35mph is the usual constant.

Ill be taking it off as soon as I get an impact tool

i just had a word with the previous owner, they filled with hydrolic fluid. And this is why NO ONE should work on these things without the service manual. Good advice.

Well a bad petcock could flood the motor IF fuel was passing through the vac line straight into the intake, although the poster above is the only person I've heard of this happening to. More likely its the needle seat (since you replaced the needle already). Also while you have the carb off to poli...

I plan on getting that manual, some way or other... but I can't view it here on this barebones laptop. Perhaps I'll buy one... Well, I took out the dead battery and she started right up so I guess I didn't sizzle anything. I got the new battery on the charger now and we'll see about taking it out i...

Mine is using a new carb and it runs fine. Granted I still have the OEM I just need to get the threads replaced

pull the petcock vacuum line off of the carb and suck on it, if fuel sucks into your mouth, your petcock is bad. Mine did this and it would not run properly until I replaced it. It would run like crap but once I unhooked the vacuum line it would run great until it ran out of fuel in the bowl.
