Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hello all,

First I would like to say that I have been reading the forum for a couple of weeks and I think it is a great source of information with a lot of good people that know what they are talking about. I would also like to say that I respect it to the fullest.

I have these two engines and am wondering if anyone could identify what year/model elite they are from, and also where I could find any serial numbers on them?

I'm going to be putting both of these engines on sprees. I have already got the wiring figured out, and have had both engines running but not mounted. I wondered if anyone knew the best way to mount them. Also, if things such as the spree throttle cable and slide, air box, and other electrical components are compatible (proper spark?). If I simply wired the oiler to the max, would this be too much oil at lower throttle positions? Also, do elites use petcock valves? I do not see where to hook up the second (bottom) fuel line to the intake. One of the engines I already wired to the spree before the pictures, I have included a picture of the original connection. Any hints, tips or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.

Both are pre 94 engines, SN/model # are stamped on the gearbox cover near the clutch end of the trans cover.

wohh there bat man....... pics big enough

the motor with the shorter intake is prolly an 87 elite or aero motor

and the other one maybe an elite lx looking at the longer manifold or someone may have changed it.

wiring is pretty much matching colors

motor and shock mounts will have to be made. looks like one of the motors has a mount on it so maybe you can use that as a base and work from there

nether are dios, they dont have a split trans... cover

There is a guy on here named "ChevyGuyJay" who put a SE50 motor on a spree.
Both those motors look like SE50 to me but i could be wrong. 87-93 elite motors. or 85+ areo 50 motors.

Ill point him in this direction. He will be able to go over what he did to make the motor fit.
If i remember correctly he just used the kick stand mount to mount the motor, and went without a kickstand.


also, those pictures are huge. If you upload though imageshack you can use the resize tool and make them smaller. More people would be able to view the page so you might get more info.

The spree never had a kicksatnd, only a center stand, he was gonna add a kickstand to the frame tube under the floor last I knew.

Looks like my se50p which isn't good, it looks like you have the restricted mufflers, expect 25 mph.

oh yeah, my se50p is a 1987 elite

yes, please resize!

You sold it!!! I oughta go hit you for that, was a nice bike, best lookin spree paintjob.

The kick stand mount and the mounts on the motor are almost exactly the same width, so the engine will not fit on the outside or the inside of it. Any ideas? Also, how is the SE50p exhaust restricted? The opening in the muffler where it attached to the head is about 1 inch in diameter.
