Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I know the difference between compression and binding...

it doesn't feel like that type of issue,

when I kick it over it kicks good a few times then wants to bind up...

just asking if there is something obvious that others have experienced, I'm thinking I'll pull the belt cover later today..

Want to get it fired up as I think the banana peel is going to get parted out...

I'll have to do some more research, I remember certain bikes had a lever that screwed to the petcock, which was like an extension...

will probably just do a new stock one.

Even in my short history with vacuum petcocks, I've had some failures.
Why worry ?...one and done.
Now, go race something...

Does anyone know if there is a manual valve that bolts right in place of the vacuum one?

right now the stock carb, and it is leaking from the drain screw on the bottom of the float bowl, so the needle/seat/float bowl doesn't apply. Since it doesn't stop leaking I know it is not shutting off the fuel valve, otherwise it would have quit when the float bowl was empty... come to think of it...

not through here, and I believe that tazland001 is the same guy I bought my BBK, carb and intake for my spree style motor' elite E through on ebay...

was super helpful answering questions...

had a good transaction with Ruckenstein, and bonesv recently...

Hey all, getting closer to starting my elite E pit scooter build. took it across town the other day and filled it with fuel, I noticed after that the stock vacuum fuel valve isn't working. The carb is dripping fuel so I know the valve is not shutting off. My question is, does the stock valve flow en...

the first project, '89 Elite E with Moped Plate, and spree motor, will get (already acquired) TAZ's BBK, Carb, and a sidebleed MLM from treatland... this will be my pit scooter, don't need speed just 0-30 RFN https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/yCFQNHj-SW2p3MOfe6dnrt_JlqFCy7cV23QlFAe3u5CUlOSCU2Qst6yuG...

Just back from the DMV, did title search, nothing existing, and since it is 49cc, and a restricted model the nice lady at Benton County set up up with a Moped Plate and submitted for a title! So most of the parts are acquired for the SB50 Build. started accruing parts for the second build... guess I...

It is an Afo5e just the unvariated one same as spree however it has a better design than the spree, That bbk and carb is going to give you plenty of torque, with an mlm sidebleed pipe you got yourself a lil beast that possibly with all its might reach 40 ish. Sounds like what you are looking for. I...

it is the Spree style motor..

Don't think I am going to pick up the '87 SE50 it's missing half the body work and I have enough projects right now..

Although it is SUPER CHEAP, Might be able to sell the AF05 out of it to pay for itself.....

thanks all, ordered them today, BBK and carb kit, and pipe in the garage...

now just need to get the garage finished.
