Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Issue: 86 Spree kept running great then carb was getting clogged, throttle would not respond well and engine acted bogged down. Carburator kept clogging after repeat cleaning.

Solution: Cleaned carb for one last time( Per Jerry), installed new standard fuel line ($1.50) from hardware and a Briggs and Stratton ($2.00)small engine in-line fuel filter( looks kind of like a little coffee filter in a plastic dome) from local hardware.


Results- Scooter has run like a charm for 100 plus miles thus far.
Used to get clogged every 1-10 miles and would then require carb cleaning.

(For some reason the filter in the tank, a fine mesh screen, would let little particles through to clog carb. The newer "coffee filter type " appears to works great.)

hmm ill have to try that. thanks

You might want to look into cleaning your tank, as per the post in the Tech Documents. Sounds like it's full of rust.
