Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

No...
Unless you want to use it on the front only.
I bought a Spree with a 3.0x10 on the rear and it would rub on the kickstand and rear fender when hitting bumps.

Mine....

I found this info helpful. If my friends are going to use my Spree's for the first time I make sure they read this...

I use oven cleaner...one can is plenty. I let it sit for half a day or so and then rinse it with the garden hose really good...both directions. I let mine sit for a day upside down to get the water to drain and still had a bunch in there...so I did use the BBQ method to get the last of the water out...

Thanks!
I just want to REALLY thank everyone on the forum...So much great advice here.
It would be so bad * to have about 20 Sprees and cruise through town!
This was the first time all 5 have been out at once...I gotta get that sixth one running soon

Went for a ride today...I'm still working on the 6th Spree but here's 5

Nice!

Could be maybe something got sucked into the petcock while running. I know from much frustration, that the "C.R.A.P" (Carb/Reeds/Autobystarter/Petcock) combination seem to be about 95% of the problems with Sprees when they either.. A) Sit for a long time B) Sputter C) Underpowered D) Feel ...

Yeah that's cool stuff!

Yeah...that's the only thing I haven't done. I did remove and clean the existing one...but I'll do it again.

I cooked the exaust already. This problem seems to be fuel related I think. After doing all of this.. http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4737 That's the original post for this scooter.... I'll try doing the logical stuff ONE MORE TIME GOD and that's it.....parts bike. I'll have 5 other...

Compression checked at 108 Sometimes it idles...but mostly not. I can rev it up on the stand but it dies if I give it gas...which is new cause before it idled but bogged out. I'm thinking carb but I've had 2 rebuilt working carbs on this and 2 Bystarters...same thing. I appreciate the help...I'll gi...

Did it...same thing. Then I tried the CDI...same thing. So I bought new reeds...same thing. I've cleaned the fuel tank and the pet *...same thing. Tried 2 different bystarters...same thing. Changed out throttle assembly..same thing Bought new adapter for between the carb and inlet...same thing. New ...

Yeah well you get to a point where you start throwing good money after bad... How many times can you rebuild something before you run out of patience...I've hit that point. I think it's in the usual place...carb. This is my 6th Spree...the other 5 run great. But I'm not wanting to keep putting money...

I'm fed up...
I bought this 1986 spree for $300...and I've bought about another $200 worth of carbs,reeds,spark plugs,Bystarters,filters,throttles,gaskets and it still runs like s***....

Maybe there should be a "Rants and Rave" section on this forum?
