Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i've been planning on taking my spree across the country. from grand rapids, michigan to san francisco. the longest i've ever taken it in a day is around 150 miles. no problems! once they get warmed up you gain about 2 mph!

So i can keep my spree in a basement for the winter... should i drain the gas? anything specific i need to do for it to sit for 6 months?

so i think i've messed with all the components in the spree except the engine. i've heard talk of bore kits and whatnot... can some one give me a well rounded explanation of that? how hard is it to do engine work? what tools do you need?

dont talk fuel efficiency with SUVs. they get jealous real quick. it only takes a few calculations to figure out why we ride scooters. a brief study:

Hummer
Purchase Price - $30,000
Variable Cost per Mile - @ 3.00/gal and 10mpg - $.30

what do you all have to say about this? is it even a scooter?

how does the gas guage work on the NQ50?

top tank? please expound... let's have an objective conversation.

no way! i run my spree at full throttle for 50 miles all in one trip! weekly!

i have a spree and a scat hovercraft, both from the same year (1986). while the fun ratio is quite inequal (the hovercraft being ten times as fun), the amount of work that i put into my spree per mile is much much less than the hovercraft.

im really interested in the economics of transportation. i ...

so check this out.... it was my carb for sure:

the two screws holding the carb to the intake were a full cm out!! there was a very visible gap and the carb was basically just hanging there!!!! how the heck did it still run like that?!

anyway, easy fix. guess i check those screws a bit more often ...

cool, that's what i thought. how tight should the screws be holding the carb to the intake? hand tight?

So im not sure which way to put the gasket back in my carb... im talkiing about the brown thing with a rubber seal on one side... does the rubber seal touch the other rubber seal (on the carb) or opposite it?
