Re: 85 Spree - no turn signals

For the 85 Spree, can someone post a picture of where the actual fuse should be located? I looked at this one I just picked up and could not find one coming off the positive battery wire.

Re: Spree aftermarket led blinker

All four of mine just stay on. I’m not very worried about power savings I just want them to blink accordingly. What the simplest way to achieve this. I still have the original flasher relay right now.. c You can add load resistors to simulate 2 Lamps. But with today's high power LEDs the resistor d...

Re: 85 Honda Spree - petcock issue

An OEM 84-85 Spree has an M14 x 1.0 thread, an 86-87 is M16 x 1.5. Take the time to measure the petcock spigot on your tank. The fuel tank is often swapped out, and it may no longer have the expected thread size. Further, there are a few sellers on eBay whose listings say 'fits 85 Spree' But the pho...

Re: Spree aftermarket led blinker

If all four of your blinkers are flashing, the flasher you installed may be fine. The OEM flasher would not flash under the lower load of LEDs. In fact the OEM flasher will not even blink on a side if one bulb is open. -- Why do all four leds light up? When all four LEDs are flashing, it is because ...

Re: Kick Start Gears and Oil Pump Question

Second question, my oil pump seal is completely shot. The crankcase fills with oil after just a week of sitting. Should I just try to find a used pump on ebay, or is there a way to replace the seal with my current pump? I would rather not switch to premix. Worth checking before replacing the oil se...

Re: 85 Spree fuel sending unit (2 wire) on an 86 (3 wire)?

Just bought an 86 Spree and realized the fuel level float is completely missing. Is there any way I could use the 85 on the 86?... Electrically, the 2 wire 85 fuel gauge and sender are a matched set. Same for the 3 wire 86-87. The changes between the early to late Sprees fuel gauge system is enough...

Happy belated bday! Nice old Comet.

Nearby our neighborhood someone just got a Ford Falcon bug. There's now 3 of them parked near their house.

Re: SA50P mix screw washer size?

Without the washer on-hand to compare it to, it'll be difficult to find a match. If it helps, the indicated washer is what it sounds like we're missing.
1mm thick, 3mm id, 5mm od. Search the 'net or auction site for 'Keihin mixture screw washer'.

Re: INSIDE Carburetors

Good one and Hiya Wheelman :hi:

Awesome camera, The video title says its taken at 28k frames/sec - 35 millionths of a sec/frame . That would be 1.26 degrees of crank angle per frame at the 6000 rpm for the 2T example you posted.

Edit: Correction to 'millionths' of a sec.

Re: Question about private messages

When you send a p/m, the user is notified, but the msg stays in your outbox until the user actually reads it.
Once read, the message is moved to 'sent'

Thus if the user has not logged in and read your message, or logs in and ignores messages, the message will stay in your outbox.
