We Need Help...

Post by Rocky101 »

Hello, My mom brought back one of her old 1986 Honda Spree Scooter that she rode when she rode when she was younger. And we have been trying to fix it for a long time cause it hasnt been started in a while. So we eventually get it to run for at least 7 seconds but then stops..it only starts every one in a while.We have tried putting more gas in,taking some out, spraying things on the engine, we still have the key. It sounds like it wants to start but it just wont......So i was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is...

This is exactly what it looks like exept without the covering of the engine and all of that...This is the link...

step one
download this http://www.hondaspree.net/other/Spree_NQ50_84-87_1.pdf its is the Honda Spree service manual ..

next
old gas has little power left in it so get rid of it !!!! some of us use it to clean parts with it and some just get ride of it!!

then
clean the crab some of us use a spray crab and choke cleaner from the dollar store (2 or 3 cans ) and some use a dip you by at a auto store ..

when that done put the crab back on and the tub to the air box is clamp to it a new or clean air filter is in place and the lid is on snug if what is in large letters is not none you will be wasting your time and mine !!

this is a start by what you stated in your post when its done it should run !! but remember we cant see or hear or look at what going on there so the info you give is all we have to go by..

...thats it! From now on at the shop, I will be referring to all carbs as "crabs"

And on another note, I've never been able to bring myself to eat a crab. (the seafood crab).
-to me they are just too cool with their grabbers and sideways walking. No sir. I will never eat one. That's one more crab in the ocean that someone didnt eat. :happy:
