Rattling

there is a rattle that starts out slower when the engine is running at lower RPM's and then speeds up as the engine does. It kind of sounds like a rattling bolt somewhere- i've tightened all of the ones on the covers and no improvement. Any suggestions?

Re: scooter wont start

Also- Just noticed today- the left turn signal works fine, but the right turn signal only turns on solid- it won't flash. What can I do about this? something wrong with the relay? :newb:

Re: scooter wont start

hey I will get the new air filters tomorrow- stock... as the air filter I mentioned before does not work all of the time- is there any way to adjust the mix for the Max rpms? I know there's not a high range screw in the carb... :confused:

Re: ****Official Picture Post...The Sequel****

Has anyone seen or do you own an '84 Honda Spree with this color scheme- I have been assured that the previous owners bought it new- and never painted...

Re: scooter wont start

Thanks for your help- went to Lowe's and bought a similar style filter for a lawnmower- fit well and then put WD-40 in the filter and with a little adjusting it now runs fine! Looking forward to having fun with this one.

Re: scooter wont start

Hi, just adding a few things- is the air filter absolutely necessary to run the spree or can i just lower the amount of air in the fuel mix? I took it out and it disentegrated in my hands... I can order another one though if necessary.

Re: scooter wont start

Thanks for your help- I had suspected that might be it- might also be crap from the gas tank. I did not know that an inline fuel filter existed- so thanks for the heads up.

I used the guide by Noiseguy from Wikispreedia.

I cleaned the carburetor with clr, denatured alcohol, and mineral spirits and it looks almost like new. Then I took off the carburetor and cleaned out all ...
