Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Would a kinked or installed incorrectly thottle cable be the cause of a non running spree? The reason I ask is I swapped a motor over to a nicer (in much better shape) frame but I can't get it running again. The only thing I did not swap over is the wiring harness. Could that be the cause? The stator runs, but the engine doesn't catch.

check for spark, work from there.

well, looks like there is good spark. Is it possible that the throttle cable not being seated correctly is the cause of this? Like it is flooding the engine? I'm just wondering because the throttle does not return to the idle position when I let go.

Hey,

Id pull the Throttle Valve out and twist the throttle grip and see if it operates smoothly.

When i rebuilt my carb, i had that issue where my throttle grip was sticking.

Hope this helps.
