Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Glad to see I'm not the old fart on this board...LOL! I'm turning 34 on July 31. I've been into motorsports since my childhood, I ride dirt, street and now I got into scooters. My 2 daughters and 1 son LOVES motorsports as much as I do and I give them all the stuff I didn't have when I was young! So...

This same thing happened to me with my Aero. My bystarter is bad tho. So what I did was take out the needle assembly from the bystarter, unplugged it from the power, and put the bystarter back onto the carb just so that I don't have to find something to plug the hole where the bystarter sits. Now my...

OK, so I have my Aero running again, but I've been thinking...with the bystarter out, am I running rich? The scoot don't bog down or seem to lose power, but since the bystarter isn't closing off some fuel off once running, is that cuasing me to run rich? I was thinking of moving the jet needle clip ...

I signed up!

Worth a try...I'm online all day anyway!

There's a posting on craigslist in the sacramento, ca area for one...It's a sweet looking scoot!

Update... OK, so my bystarter is bad, but I was able to take the cylinder and needle off the bystarter, unplugged it from the positive & negative wires, and placed it back onto the carb. Fires up right away! Tuned the idle screw and air screw and it runs great! I don't want to take it on long ri...

make sure your battery is charged.

Hey mopedman,

Will that petcock, you're selling, work on an Aero NB50?

Maybe the 1000 member should have a special title under thier name?

OK, I'll bite...how did you get your Aero to run without a carb?

Is there a way to salvage a faulty bystarter? They are pretty pricey at www.discounthondaparts.com

OK, I made sure the plugs will stay. It's starts and runs cool. Now the problem that I run into is when it sits over night or if I don't ride it on the weekends, it has a hard time starting and I have to open the either the bystarted part or where the needle is to prime it with carb cleaner to have ...

check for a restricter place. Remove it if it has one.

I know I had to that for my friend's metropolitan. I don't know if the Sprees have them or not.

THANKS Guys!

I plugged the vaccum part of the petcock and plugged the vaccum part of the carb. She started right up!

Now my question is, will this harm my engine in anyway with the vaccum plugged at the carb?

Could I use a manual on/off petcock? If not, does anyone here have a petcock that will fit a 1984 Aero NB50?
