Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks for the info!!! Here's another update.... I started taken stuff apart thinking I'll need to rebuild this engine. The spree has been sitting outside for year according to the PO....I took the sparkplug out and started to kickstart the engine over and LOTS of pink/foamy liquid stuff blew out of...

Update...
After opening the aircleaner, I noticed lots of plastic and foam particles...as you can tell in the photo, someone drilled some holes in the aircleaner cover...but why did they have to do it in place?????? I'm starting to think I'll need to rebuild the carb.....

Hey everyone, I just picked up a 1986 Spree yesterday and it doesn't run at all. The previous owner told me it was running last summer and she bought a new battery for it was all. The ignition switch was jimmied at one time but the key does go in and turn. The fuel has been sitting in it for about a...

It seems like almost all of the Spree's that I see have the bent rear blinker problem. I know is cause they stick out alot...has anyone ever modified these? Do you know if a 1987 Honda Spree rear blinker set up will easily fit onto a 1986?

Ha..ha..ha!
That's awesome...it reminds me of the drag races we have here in Oregon at Woodburn....you can race anything pretty much....backhoes, lawnmowers, scooters....

Thanks!
I just bought one last Saturday... one owner with 600 original miles for $500. Originally I was going to paint it but now I'm having second thoughts..
Robert

Yeah that was great!!
Thanks for posting...

I found some photos...man that s*** is ugly. The guy says he'll take $500 for it....I'll buy it this weekend and give it to my girlfriend to ride. It is missing the horn cover of all things....is there a paint code chart that I can get so I can match the color for a new cover or is there a paint som...

I did...nothing there.

I'm thinking about buying one this weekend for $600...has only 700 miles on it, 1 owner but I'm not too sure I would like the color scheme.

Thanks!

Ps..
If I get it, this will be my 3rd one I've bought in 3 months...I'm HOOKED!

If I buy a 1985 Honda Spree and want to put a kickstart on it....Do I just change the belt cover and add the kickstart? Is there more to it? I've got someone who wants to sell me an 85 but I like having the kickstart in case of dead battery.

Thanks!

Hmmm..have no idea. I bought Valvoline multi-purpose 2 cycle engine oil. Can you recommend an oil that I can find at a Carquest or NAPA.

Robert

Thanks for the advice.....I changed the oil out....thought maybe I notice a little bit of water in it...but it's still smoking some. I used Valvoline 2 cycle motor oil. I'll change the gas out later this week to see if that makes any difference... I didn't see an oil adjustment screw though...is thi...

Hey all, My 1986 Spree smokes at high speeds....35 MPH. I thought maybe it wasn't warmed up at first but even after driving around for awhile, it still smokes. The smoke looks to be white. I don't notice it at lower speeds. Is this a carb adjustment? I just bought this a few months back and it was t...
