Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

So this weekend I put the carb back together all ready to go, re-connected it and put a little gas in the tank. Did not attempt to start it but gas came flushing out the air vent tube for a few seconds and then it drained out the overflow on the bottom of the carb. I undid the carb bowl and the new ...

I did notice it only fits right one direction and thanks for that tip. I’ll try the dowel or pencil trick to get the emulsion tube out and spray with carb spray. Thanks again Meatball. Is there any trick to setting the floats correctly or do I just lock them down with the float screw?

You are exactly right. It’s the spacer to the intake. So the non gasket side of that spacer should butt up to the carb and the gasket side of the spacer should butt up to the intake connection right?

I just realized in photo showing the floats you can see where the two holes for the carb bolts go and it shows the gasket side of the carb out. I'm thinking the gasket side of the divider would not make sense to connect with the carb side which already has a gasket.

I used the carb spray all over like you said and pulled most of the components before spraying. When I un-screwed the jet I could not get the emulsion tube out. I saw somewhere about sticking a pencil down the get hole and trying to push it down the tube to loosen it and then let it drop out the top...

Look at the small chip on the jet housing

Meatball,

My pics won’t upload. Is there another way I could send you a few carb photos?

Determine what you need, then I will try to provide a source. There isnt ONE place to get everything usually. Now that the Florida heat is gone i removed and took apart my Elite SA50 carb. Trying to figure out what is wrong. Should I just use carburetor cleaner spray? The carburetor doesn’t look to...

I will take a look at that site Bonesv. Thanks

Sounds good Meatball.

Thanks Meatball for the advice. Do you know a good place to buy the gaskets, float needle, o-ring etc.? I will try to remove the carb myself and determine all the inner components.

I am a recent owner of a 1988 Honda Elite SA 50. We love this scooter but I quickly realized this thing needs help in the carburetor department. I got the mixtures working well enough to idle right and make it rideable but discovered the carb had a small gas drip and horrible gas mileage. I tried a ...
