Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

that's what i was told, but then again she told me it was an 87 spree before i saw it.... either way, elite s. starts no filter, can only drive with filter. starts fine when it's warm with a filter, but not when cold. I thought it was the bystarter, auto choke, but then she told me it was replaced, ...
