Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Btw how are you liking the navi? Pretty slick for 1800 bucks

That looks highly suspect. I've tried to clean it out with a bit of tiny wire, been probably 6 months. Any tips of cleaning that little sucker?

Thank you

Thanks for the help guys.

The spree does have a stock air box and newer OEM oiled filter in it.

I am curious about where the hole and we'll are located for number 2. I can post a picture if that would help. This sounds promising.

Carb is stock with newer gasket/orings.

With the help of this forum and a lot of elbow grease. My 1985 spree that I pulled out of a barn is running pretty well. Sometimes, I will need to inject a few milliliters of gas into the carb through the throttle slide. This isn't a major issue but one I'd like to solve so that when I press the sta...

The first post has a video of the engine not 'turning over'. I wanted to post an update video of the spree running for fun. The second video, the spree did 'turn over'.

I apologize for the confusion, I'm still a newb.

Thanks for the help guys.

It throttles high on start, then when its warm it calms down

Sat overnight with the new gas in it. This morning I went to check the plug after seeing your reply. Plug looked wet when ripping the starter. Then I heard a sputter of the engine wanting to turn over. Kept at it and injected fuel into the throttle slide. Then it fired up and has been. Proof. https:...

New gas wasn't it.

I tried injecting a couple MLs of gas into the throttle slide as well.

Hello all, Back again. Sound of start. https://youtu.be/wjLFSBVd0iM Checked spark, fired with every stroke. Cleaned carb again, carefully reinstalled. Vacuum line works. I suck on it and gas runs through the supply line. Airbox is unchanged, tried to clean it. Oil in oil line. Battery at 12.6 volts....

d***. Seems like they're all about 10 bucks for an aftermarket petcock on ebay.

Think I should just try and get a different aftermarket from eBay?

Thanks for the reply Mike.

Well guys, bought an aftermarket petcock. It came with a screen but the screen wouldn't fit from the underside of the fuel tank. My tank looks clean and not rusty on the inside and the petcock that was original didn't have a screen so I installed the new petcock without the screen. I'm still drippin...

The carb float seat looks good from what I can tell. The seat issues link you shared had some pictures of what damaged seats look like and mine looks clean. The needle looks good too. When putting the float body back in, I was careful to look that it was putting pressure on the needle when pushing u...

Thanks for the info! I just recently replaced the carb float needle. I read that the float can get cracked and let gas in, then it won't press on the needle to seal. So, I'm planning to pull the carb back out and checking the float to see if gas is in it. For the petcock, I haven't done any maintena...
