Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Fantastic! Thank you guys. I really appreciate the help!

Will be firing this thing up for what is probably the first time its ran in 30 years. Wish me luck

Yea, but this is a factory service manual. I expected better. IMO, illustrated or fiche type drawings are MUCH better than photographs for these type of illustrations. I hate those Chilton books lol. I'm dead set factory service manual or don't bother. But in this situation...I had no other option. ...

Just got my motocompo manual in. Found one for a good price! Its in english/french/german. So...here is a snip from manual regarding setting the oil pump but man its hard to see with the 80's style dark photo. Can't make out what exactly I'm supposed to line the mark up to.

Yes I hunted for a manual last night and found no pdfÔÇÖs. Did you find a PDF manual that I could buy?? I would be up for a link...I could only find paper copies from Europe or Australia that will take 2 weeks to arrive. IÔÇÖm thinking yellow is correct as the line actually is close to the needle wh...

Motocompo was under a tarp for a few months in the garage...now back at ÔÇÿer Got the sticking throttle fixed. I had the handlebars powder coated. The coating was thicker than stock bars so I sanded them down and where the throttle rides and problem solved! Back to oil pump...there is 2 markings. Ci...

Yes mine is red like that one. My brother has a white one. IÔÇÖm located in Canada. I purchased mine from New Zealand and it was shipped via ups like a regular package. I always thought that was funny that itÔÇÖs so small it was shipped via post ;) Ok. How do I prime the oil pump...and how often do ...

Hey thanks guys. I will give that a go. I just figured by running premixed fuel that comes factory premixed 50:1, I canÔÇÖt damage anything. DonÔÇÖt think for the moment the motocompo is special. They produced boat loads of them in japan, and it was built to be cheap and light. IÔÇÖll let u guys kno...

I plan on running premixed fuel only as the bike will be used very little. This way I only have to drain the fuel tank when storing it....and I donÔÇÖt have to worry about oil injection calibration. Could I just disconnect the oil injection cable? IÔÇÖd imagine I have to also disconnect the power to...

Ok...so itÔÇÖs not a spree but the closest forum I can find that is similar motor to my Honda motocompo Still havenÔÇÖt fired the thing up yet. My throttle cable is pretty stiff and does not go back when I twist the throttle unless I manually twist it back...so I went and traced the throttle cable. ...

So am I safe to run this fuel then? It wonÔÇÖt hurt it right?

Here is the blurb on the fuel... STIHL MotoMix® is our patented premixed fuel, specially blended for ultimate performance. Like a sports drink for your engine, this 50:1 mixture is a combination of premium non-ethanol, high-octane motor fuel and our highest-quality STIHL HP Ultra Oil. Clean and con...

Sorry yes I editied my post. ItÔÇÖs chainsaw fuel, premixed 50:1 As it is in mueseam quality I wonÔÇÖt daily drive it...but dang it was designed to be driven then IÔÇÖm gonna drive it :). Hate when guys collect and donÔÇÖt drive. So with that this fuel is supposed to be 10x longer lasting in the tan...

Finally have my brand new never started motocompo back together. I got it from a owner in new zeland a few years ago...took it to the frame and powder coated it, then re assembled it. ItÔÇÖs never been started and the carb is sparkling like new inside. With that said, I plan to use it occasionally m...

Good day, I took my motocompo apart last year to give the frame a powdercoating. Just putting it back together and I'm not sure how to re-assemble the headset bearings? I've got all the parts loose in a bag...but there appears to be a top/bottom and I'm not sure what is the right way. I assume the s...

Ok...so a bearing press won't work? I'm trying to press them out on a bearing press shop tool, does it not do the same thing as the puller (just in opposite direction?)

Let me know
