Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

If anyone does find a glove box I would be willing to take a crack at making a casting mold of it much like I have done with the petcock cover pieces.

Does that make me the leprechaun... now where oh where did I leave that pot'o'gold

Couple comments/questions:

How do you anodize steel wheels? I thought anodizing only worked on aluminum.

I like the matching paint thoughout the scooter!

Now it just needs a petcock cover... I happen to know a guy

I think I have a spare CDI floating around in a parts box somewhere, I will try that.

Intermittent electrical problems are probably the worst problem I can think of to track down

After adjusting the clip back to the starting point I thought the issue was solved since I didn't have the problem on the next ride. Today it briefly happened again and the scooter felt a little sluggish unlike it has in the past (at the same settings it is at now). When the power cuts out it is alm...

3 things:

1. Your skillz are yet again shown to be awesome

Photo shop none the less

Her uuuuhh, shoes, are mighty photo shopped.

Lowering the clip should be richer in the area of needle influence (see diagram) With the needle lifted - maybe your engine is 'four-stroking'? I've had scooters alternate between normal and four-stroking. Weee..neee..Weeee..neee all the way home :D . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroking Than...

dun rite wrote:by raising the needle, lowering the clip you have made it leaner. try the reverse

Wait, WHAT! Did I fail carb 101 All this time I have thought raising the needle allowed more fuel out of the jet???

This problem started when I richened the mixture by raising the needle

To start, I have been riding the scoot with no issues for a while, but suspected a slightly lean condition based on the ring ding ding of the scooter. I moved my carb needle clip down one click (moved the needle up one) and went for a ride. About 2 miles into the ride the scooter started surging, po...
