Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I use a Deltran Battery Tender. It works! Just keep an eye on the acid level over winter and add a little distilled water if necessary. This charger costs about the equivalent of what I paid for 2 Spree batteries.

My Spree had not been running for 6 or 7 years when I got it started. Not knowing if my oil pump was pumping enough oil, I decided to blend some of the injection oil in the gas tank. The Spree ran for a time but the small idle jet would clog and cause problems. After experiencing clogging and cleani...

If the bystarter does not check to spec, bench test it before moving on to other potential problem sources. This is quite easy and has been explained in previous posts.

I had a 2-stroke 50cc scooter do the same thing (gas accumulation in the exhaust). I had good spark but the bike would not run. The bike had been sitting for 2 or 3 years. So I drained the gas tank, cleaned the fuel line and drained the carb float bowl. I put in some fresh gas, filled the float bowl...

If the epoxy repair does not work contact Mr.Richardson for a carb or just a carb body. He has various price ranges depending upon what you are looking for. I bought a carb body with damaged mounting threads (cheapest option) from him and just swapped out all components. It worked fine and Richardso...

Nelly, in picture #1 your red arrow points to the idle jet. This tiny hole must be open for the Spree to idle. If this hole is blocked (and if all other components are working properly), the bike will start but will only run for a few seconds, then die. I think it is best to visually confirm that th...

You may have already checked this, but...in the carb float bowl there is that wall separating the choke pickup tube from the rest of the float bowl. Make sure the hole in this wall is cleaned out thouroghly so that sufficient gas can enter this chamber for the for the entire warmup time. If there is...

You mentioned in an earlier post that your pulse coil was generating nearly 3 volts and now it seems to not be creating any voltage. That is kinda weird. My Spree showed pulse coil output of 0.2 - 0.35 v AC and the scooter runs fine. My exciter coil output registered 150+ v AC. If I had spare altern...

Sounds from your other post that you need to get the choke squared away before addressing other potential problems. I will tell you that the idle jet must be visibly clean. In previous posts I explained how I check this jet. If it is not clear, (and all other aspects of the carb are correct) your Sp...

Hey, ripps! I viewed your snapfish pictures and that is not a Spree carb. It is a Keihin and it has the electric choke but it is all oriented differently than the Spree carb. Still, the one photo was helpful I believe, the one which viewed the carb from the top down into the areas where the throttle...

Headlight , surrounding plastic, handlebar and brake levers look like Spree. Rear drive arrangement is similar to Spree. Everything else does not seem to be a Spree. Still, with a proper view of the carburetor we be able to help (if it is similar to a Spree carb.)

I went to snapfish.com and cannot tell how to access your Spree picutres. I did not attempt to register with them. Perhaps I would need to do that.

I have successfully cleaned the exhaust port as you propose. With the exhuast pipe removed and the piston in the down position I scraped carbon deposits loose as best I could. Then I removed the spark plug and blasted about 45 lbs. of air into the spark plug hole to expell any carbon which might hav...

1-Have we all been assured of just what this thing is that we are working on?
2-After the carb was cleaned, could you see through the idle jet to verify it being open?

I had a similar experience with my Spree and the idle jet was not clear. Clean it out and make sure it is clear. You should be able to see light through both the main jet (easy to see) and the idle jet when they have been properly cleaned.
