Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I confess to MB lust, if only WHAC could afford locate a worthy restoration candidate and the impossibly rare 80cc kits carbs and pipes to transform it into All That It Can Be. Now comes Mookie to say "Don't bother?!" Dreams... Crushed. :cry: Crushed-says who? Mans gotta have a dream to k...

Thanks for enlightening me. I was always puzzled by that.

I've been an electrician with the Army since 2000. Was a dairy farmer before that.
Soon to be changing to firefighter in the army

Spreetard: I'll have a look around and see if I can get prices and an email to you after the weekend Bear- Thats what I thought with the facts the fans at one side and the fins running perpendicular to it. If I remember right (its too early to nip out and check) the head hasto be that way round for ...

You put that so well.

Looks like it isnt the size, its what you do with it after all eh?

Speaking with the local Honda shop this morning, it looks like I'd be up for $4-600 NZD (approx US $2-300), and they mentioned some of the parts may be getting a bit rare. I've got faith they'll do it to a high standard as I've dealt with the workshop manager many times over the years and he's alway...

Since the last post I had the wee beauty running like a dream and took up the hobby of riding around in the local riverbed(may have some pics up somewhere) All was well in Hoon land until the point at which the rear shock mounts to on the engine casing snapped-this being a one piece unit integrating...

I cant back Wheelman up enough on the right tool for the job. I've butchered some horrendously expensive bits of motorcycle trying the old "ah, it'll be all right using this oversized screwdriver and prying it off". Find a mate at a dealership, and you're away and laughing. I've got to pul...

One of the shallower ruts http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4797/riverriding004.th.jpg Those young hooligans, I dont know :P http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8378/riverriding003.th.jpg Gets a bit narrow in places( I had to find somewhere I could get a sideways shot http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4476...

Does anyone else indulge in taking their Spree/Aero/whatever off the beaten track? I ask as my favourite riding patch is the local riverbed/bush 5 minutes away and I often spend some happy moments thrashing my poor little red rocket around and over rough rocks, bogging sand and dirty great 4 x4 ruts...

have you downloaded the workshop manuals off here and checked if they give the relevant numbers?

Good effort that man I particularly liked your continuing escalations of force and use of rocks!!

Gave the plug some blowtorch love and it lives!!!!
Oh the joy of it all

PS I have also cut the oil off while I try to get starting action as it glugs up the chamber too fast.

Have just put a new starter motor in, but still getting no joy. Engine turns over approx 5 times, then on the 6th makes a different sound and repeats the cycle ad nauseum.
I have fuel, air and spark, but the mongrel wont start? Any ideas?
