Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Petcock was replaced as stated in OP. I have an inline fuel filter and can see fuel flowing well.

Ditch the new carb and rebuild the OEM one. Most replacement carbs that “fit spree” are absolute junk. The airbox gasket might be a small contributor since the box is designed/engineered to flow a certain cfm. My spree ran like garbage with some tiny holes drilled in the lid from a previous owner. ...

What all will I need to rebuild the OEM? Can I just clean the carb and jets or do I need to replace all gaskets etc..

I got a good deal on this barn-find and I’m working to restore it. It will start right up, maybe idle for 2 minutes or so, then slowly sputter out. Once it dies, it is difficult to get it to start back up again. If I get it on the road, it will die when I decelerate (at stop sign or turning corner)....
