Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Well I had it running and for whatever reason I grabbed a brake lever and it revved up. I then figured it was electrical so started looking for a bad wire. I remembered the guy saying that he had the starter out of it so I looked at it and noticed right away that there was no green wire hooked to it...

Clean the carb and just ride it.

I'm going to the MID-MO moped rally tomorrow. My buddy is going with and he's riding my yellow Elite. I hope he appreciates the sticker I put on for him. I know Eliteguy50 would rock this sticker givin the chance.
