Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

HAHAA!! it's TRUE!

I'll try to go in again and see if they'll register it as a Moped, there's no sense in paying 140 annually for registration!!

Well glad you kept track and replied!!! haha!

and BTW it's for scooters not bikes.. so even better!

Motormike.. Here's hoping it lasts at least a few thousand miles!! HAHA

So went on fine, no real issues. It comes with a spring to keep tension but I chucked it since the original doesn't come with one. used the same barrel and adjustment screw as original since the barrel provided is not going to fit the drum arm. works great!! DrunkBotany, here's to you my man, good f...

Odd... mine was sitting for 7-10 years, and needed only routine stuff you'd expect to do when sitting..

removed the fuel tank, rinsed it with fresh fuel, cleaned out the carburetor, new plug, new air filter, new brake cables and BAM!! running like a champ!

Slightly waking the thread up again.. So just to clarify, if oil wasn't pumping, I'd quickly know that because I would seize the piston, right? I haven't taken her on a big ride, just running her up and down the block for maybe 3 miles worth of riding, I had added 1/70 mix on the gas tank itself but...

so... not sure why no one replied in 12 years, but I had a similar question. What kind of range does the spree get on the oil tank?

Hey guys, I had some doubts about the Spree and I was hoping you guys knew the answer. I bought my 86 a few weeks back from a guy who got it from a guy who got it from the original owner (no title). I cleaned it up and she now runs like a champ with only 1800 miles (waiting for a rear brake cable an...

NICE!!!!


Just ordered the cable from Walmart!!

Thanks!

No worries Motormike, any help is greatly appreciated. I'll measure it tomorrow and see what I get. I had found this one at scooter works, but again, had not yet measured the old one.

yep! I tried the oil in bottle for 3 days and Nothing! it has a part number on the rubber tube - it's GK8-870 6A29.

Why, do you know where I can find one?

guess I gotta fix un-seize the old one. gotta try the water bottle/oil technique

I have verified that the arms/actuators at the drum are free and clear and articulate properly. I seems to me that the cable is bad. I have ordered a new front cable, when it gets here I'll test that out by installing it on the front, hopefully that cures the issue, and I'll then TRY to source a rea...
