Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

it runs good with it out of carb with a open hole. the carb respond to the screw adjustments more positvley. could it be needing that much more air?

seems i can only get my spree to run good with no bystarter on the carb? what is it doing? thanks 48 bbk with 100 main jet.

anyone know a good razz forum? im parting it out and dont know a good forum to post in, any ideas ? thanks

i have no body panels they were all destroyed in a heroic effort to miss a darting dog.

update on my starting problem. i added kickstart to get me going,after a tank of mix my electric start will now turn it fast enough to start. now im on to fooling with the carb to get her right. seems way rich with the 100 jet.

anyone?
