Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Ok so burned off all the oil in the cylinder and I get compresson around 110-115. My first reading of 105 I don't think I was kicking the kick start enough. And when I was adjusting the jet earlier today I got to the point where I had the screw almost all the way in and it still ran lean and started...

Ok I'll let you know what happens. I'm still not sure how I can adjust the jet so it's not as lean, is it the tighter in the screw goes the more lean or more rich?

Ok so I put some oil in the cylinder and the compression jumped up to 125psi. I did several compression tests and they settled on 117psi and it hasn't gone down from that. So now what do I do?

I got my spree running a few weeks ago and it has been running decently, but with a few problems.

It idles but still likes to die once warmed up, and it dies when I go from riding around to a stop. I've tried all the adjustments on the carb and I've cleaned it a ...

There is no honda store close by so I can't easily get the stock honda stuff, so what do you guys use? Is their any cleaning of...

And when I start it I have to give it half throttle.

I just swapped my 87 spree motor for an 85 spree motor, it starts and runs fine but won't idle. I've cleaned the carb twice and soaked it in dip overnight and it idled fine when the 87 motor was running, plus the bystarter on it is brand new. I've tried adjusting the idle screw and I've made sure th...
