Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

well I just got back from my trip to LA and I let my cousin use my moped to go to collage. when i get back she says it takes too long to start the moped, and it takes me about 5 minutes to start the moped. well I changed the sparkplug(it needed to be changed), tuned the carb and I still can't solve the problem??? im real confused here. plus the compression is low on the kickstart.

how many miles did she ride? wore rings or forgot to add oil.

she added oil i told her to...maybe not? it was a full tank and idk what was wrong. rings are 1 month old

That's why you never let someone borrow your bike if they don't know exactly what to do when comes to filling up gas and how much oil to add if needed. That's just asking for your bike to get broken. I bet that thing seized from either no oil or to much oil being added.

maby the carb is gummed up .. clean it and get back with us. check the plug again its probably fouled up with oil.

cleaned up everything today, nothing seized so Im guessing the oil/gas mixture was to light she was running it rich.

If compression is down, the top end, that's the cylinder, piston, rings, head gasket and head need inspection to determine why compression is down.

If it's the headgasket That's like a five minute fix, and around 5 bucks at honda dealer.
