Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I sold the Spree today.
Thank you for all of your help.
I really feel although you all gave me really good advice.
This thread, and only because of me, is way too long to be of
any benefit to another reader. I am asking the moderator to remove it.
I mean, over 100 posts?
Were I to follow the basic ...

Busy day today, busier than I thought.
repaired my friends power window, no parts available, so I had to make
A part. Anyway, we all know I got 6 spark plugs, so I can do good
Chops tomorrow.
Gonna do that spray trick to see if it affects rpms to help find the vaccuum
leak. Yeah, I agree with you ...

Okay, thank you.
I just took it to 3 stores and it ran good with the metering rod at the richest
Position via circlip placement. I have a few more things to do, then I will
be able to carry the spark plug socket in my pocket today and pull
The plug af ter a wot ride.

Okay, I wil save my money, thanks guys.
So wy is it so lean?

Okay,

So here's the skinny.

I took throttle slider/needle thing out and diconnected the cable.
I took it inside and got the reading glasses and bright led flashlight.
I was previously wrong, the needle circlip was actually on the next to
richest setting. I went to the richest setting possible and ...

I had the jet and emulsion tube out like 6 times.
But I didn't see a number.
I never put jets in anything/changed sizes.
so I was not looking for a number.
Now I wish I had.

I dont know the jet size

Whats wierd about it being a rich condition is that when it died at wide open trottle
In the past, blocking the intake with a finger, brought it back to life.

Damned bystarter!!!!!!!!!!!! :*:

I hope thats it.


Thanks

Clip middle position? Whoa! I'm gonna change it.

Thank you, I have 6 new plugs.

The airbox warpage was an inner flange, not the gasket area, my bad. Gasket was in there, now lid fastened down with new screw actually helped, climbs hills now. Will test bystarter on battery for 5 mins. You know what, its like it has amost no vaccuum until 15mph ...

Few minutes? Okay, ty

Whats a plug chop

Pulled bystarter and held wires on battery for 15 seconds, no movement.
attached bystarter wires to their original locations and turned ignition
on. Waited 30 seconds, again, no visual movement.
Pulled throttle slider out and removed metering rod.
Clip is on the next to leanest position.

crop the plug???

Thank you both,

I will all of the tests.
I rode 5 miles last night after all of the changes.
I just pulled the plug, what does it look like?
