Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hey all,

I just bought a 92' honda elite and im having issues with the acceleration. Everything is ok from 1-15 mph but when it hits 15 mph it will decelerate back down. It will sometimes go past 15 when i let the gas go and accel again but for the most part it goes to 15 then drops in be. Any help would be appriciated...thanks!

Does it work on the stand? Sounds like fuel delivery problem. Clean carb, check petcock, if you have a fuel filter ensure it's not clogged up.

i would check the ramp guides and weights on the front pulley, both of these will give a bog on acceleration, most people think its the carb?

Check you plug color.

sorry i dont know much about scooters, but what do you mean does it work on the stand. and when u say plug, do u mean spark?

Yeah he means spark plug, Kenny always seems to advocate a "plug chop" which you can read about here:

That will jam it in constant choke mode till you plug it back in.

so i changed the spark and oil and everything was runnning yesterday. from -15 mpg it was ok. then it would slowly accellerate from 15-25 and then pick up after 35. i took it out this afternoon and it started having the same problem.....when i full throttle it will die down after 15mpg. any suggestions? Thanks

Have you been using crappy oil? The exhaust port may be plugged up with carbon buildup.

Clean your carb.
