Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I know this is an old thread but the solution may not be the bushing. The mounting hinge bolts shakes sometimes. Solution is to loosen the bolt for the mounting hinge, reposition and tighten back. Good luck

Of course we don't know what type of filter you have without a picture. You shouldn't run it without air box unless some other changes were made to the carb and muffler. You may need to check the carb's jets. The current air filter maybe suffice but I'm not aware of any filter that is as good as the ...

After a valve adjustment and carb cleaning (with the tooth paste remedy), finally got the scoot up and going. Plastic painted back to OEM red color and new marks. Added a windshield and rear luggage trunk.
With a new belt and Dr. Pulley 9 gram sliders the speed did improve but I can only get it up ...

Not to promote another forum or anything, but I had to share this restore I saw at another site.

WOW!!

I'm enjoying watching the progress of your project. Keep up the good work. :worship:

Wonderful pictures of all of those scooters. To a true Honda scooter lover, those pictures are wonderful and disturbing but If i had the means, I'll prob be just like him. :geekdance: I've been looking for a nice ...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I may just pull the engine to do a valve adjustment and remove carb.

It's been sitting for over a year because the guy said it was hard to start. He rode the scooter somewhere, stopped and it would not start when he was prepared to go home. It has never started ...

I just scored a Elite 80 that has ben sitting for awhile in which it just died before sitting. I've brought back to life a Helix that was sitting for seven years so I have an idea of whats needed .....I think.
This scooter is much smaller than the Helix and things are harder to get to. I had to ...
