Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Well, I was out working on it again before I read your post and I installed a new plug and started it.I had the same results.Bogging out.I did have the carb apart numerous times and the main is clean as can be unless I'm blind!I had the needle clip for the main in all of the positions except the top...

I have been trying to get an 85 Aero 50 running right.It has sat for about that long too.I got it running and it bogs out also.I have tried about everything.I did find that my idle jet was plugged when I got it.It would start and only idle until the bystarter closed and it would stall.If it runs wit...

O.k. I am lost.I have read most posts about this problem of bogging out and have got some help on here, but problem remains.Now I decided to squirt starter fluid into the air filter while it is bogging and it takes off like a rocket.When the starting fluid expires it bogs again!I have tried moving t...

Anyone ?thanks

Start with the simple things.Did you try a new plug or loose plug cap?Check air filter?Check for air leaks around the carb. insulator.Good luck

Anyone have an 85' Aero they could do a ohm test on for me for the regulator.Trying to compare my readings.They don't match the service manual.thanks

I am not sure about the charging yet.I was getting some weird readings so I got a new meter tonight and started to do some tests over(old meter was flaking out).I got more accurate readings this time on things I re-did so far.I rechecked my regulator and I was getting open circuits on the checks tha...

I am working thru the same problem with it dieng under load.It starts and revs nice on the center stand, but will die when trying to ride.I will let you know if I figure it out.I am going in circles on this one.Joe

Thanks-I missed that.I did my voltage checks on the bike and the red wire on the reg. was 14.5 volts DC-Yellow wire was 7.7 volts AC,white wire was 13Volts AC.I do not have any means to measure RPM's so these were at what I thought seemed like a good idle.Any rule of thumb to go by as how to set thi...

What notch should the clip be in?I found it in the top notch when I took it apart, but most bikes I have seen usualy start them in the middle notch.thanks

thanks again!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the voltage readings.Now I can go verify some unknowns.I may be dealing with a weak spark on this thing possibly.Which may explain why it idles and revs on the center stand, but under load it won't fire the fuel.Just a thought.I am beating myself over the head with this problem.Also, do y...

I think your right.I thought the HD light and license light and bystarter were DC but it appears they run on AC voltage.Strange set-up compared to a reg. motorcycle.Joe

I just got an 85 Aero 50 with 1400 miles. runs great in the garage but has no power under load.I'm trying to find a fellow Aero owner who can give me some readings on thier voltage regulator so I can compare to mine.Mine might be bad, but not sure.thanks and Good luck

I was hoping someone could take an ohmmeter to their regulator and tell me what reading they get.I have one that is giving me an opne when it should read some resistance.This would be a great help.If the terminals needed to do the test are needed I can provide.thanks
