Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i have a really goofy question. i've seen people argue about that whole turbo on a two stroke thing, and i don't care to go there. but what if a person were to come up with a way to apply just the right amount of vacuum to the exhaust side?w/no boost on the intake. kinda like an artificial expansion ...

Well here is my spree, sorry the camera has no flash so i brightened them in an editor. Needs a seat cover. I need to fix the gas guage. And i need more power/speed. It goes about 31-32 on a flat road. Next I plan on increasing fuel/air thru the carb. bigger jet. better air filter. What can i expect ...

just the gas gauge now.

thanks

My headlight, fuelgauge, electric start don't work untill i start it then the headlight runs off the alternator after i put my tail light, turn signals from my gsxr on the spree. turn signals and brake light work fine whether the engine is running or not. dont know if i blew a fuse that i cant find ...

That waS cool. he did try and sell it. that was much better than just tossing it out on the curb with the trash.

I don't think its a lean/rich problem. The screw adjustment is for idling, to adjust the lean rich on mine it has notches on the main needle where the c clip is 1lean 2norm 3rich 4richer (from top to bottom) I know you probably sick of people telling you to clean the carb, and maybe you have but ...

i have the same problem but my spree wil run and idle fine for about a minute. i found some good info in the service manual (avail. in the tech docs) on testing the bystarter, and enrichment circuit of the carb. maybe the float and or needle valve is stuck.

i just got in from the garage, cleaned the carb again inspected the float/needle operation during assembly. I didn't notice a diff in the flow of fuel w/ or w/o the inline filter.tomorrow i'll see if it runs any better w/o the filter. my muffler is in pretty rough shape, there is a hole rusted ...

thats what i have a universal filter for a riding lawn mower but maybe they (the lawnmowers) have fuel pumps. i guess the way to test it would be to disconnect it from the carb suck on the vac line and see if the fuel flows freely. Its a pretty big filter. i'll take it out as part of my process of ...

ok that makes sense. i have bought some parts from kikwear we shall see what happens. Thanks for the help. I'll be burning the midnight readdy heater tonight after second shift.

thats it? i was under the impression that the final drive gears were different, and/or there was some kind of restricting plate on the front clutch.

Guess ill have to use it in my truck, or 4wheeler, As for the spree, i found out its a iowa its starts and idles fine runs fine plenty of power for about a min or more then puts out. could this be the cdi? maybe after the by starter expands.

Thanks for the help. I plan on running it year round. There has to be air coming in then. I'll test that today.The by starter is functioning fine. I had that carb apart 4 times cleaning, blowing air, blowing solvent throu every little hole each time. I put a clear lawn mower fuel filter on after the ...

Why couldn't you just run a bigger motorcycle battery. wouldn't that use less space than two ped batts. where could a person get a bigger charging system say for a spree.
