Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

You may need to order from an online bearing shop. I can find them, but you're right, it's not a common item. Too bad Honda's got the parts screwed up in their system as well now...

There's no reason to pay for the Honda P/N bearing if the bearing shop can find the correct size replacement.

Appears there's a 12mm variant under bearing number 6204-W12

You need to have the bystarter in place for the carb to work. It sounds like you have a clogged idle jet as well. I'd suggest running down another carb for your bike. They make a manual bystarter (or used to) but I haven't seen one in years.

SS!

Depends on the source. I'd take the measured weights taken from an unmodified bike over other information.

Much of aftermarket online pushes consumers to "common" values, and 23g looks like the most popular sold roller weight for Honda scooters. That doesn't mean the 23g wouldn't be an improvement.

Those are a commonly swapped out part. Lower weights will increase the RPM of shift point, along with changes in clutch spring.

No idea which is stock on yours but fortunately you should be able to get them in any reasonable weight you want. My guess is the 23g is an aftermarket set, and the Honda ...

Glad it worked out. As described prior, your idle jet was either waaay too large, or the carb needed air/fuel screw adjusted (that thing really only sets idle enrichment.) Have fun riding.

Odd. I'm not seeing these on Ebay anymore. I'm not 100pct positive this one fits your bike: https://www.ebay.com/itm/335938714941

I'd be tempted to 3D print one at this point, but you'd need a high temp filament.

Or DIY. https://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php/Oil_Pump_Plugs

Merry Christmas everyone!

I've always thought you could have those case interfaces bored and resleeved. But I've never looked into having it done.

Check exhaust flow.
Performance on stand doesn't tell you much. Spree should take off fairly well, but then take a while to get to top speed. But you'd remember that from 10 years ago.
Spray around carb with ether or similar, looking for air leaks in intake tract.

Personally, I'd redesign a plug and 3D print in either clear or other plastic, running several full threads on the plug, then source a circle gasket in the correct diameter (or print one from TPU.) You'd need to seal the 3D printed part.

Alternately, source a plug in the correct thread diameter ...

Good to see account's working again.

Check your main jet size if you haven't yet. Should be 65 or 68. I assume you've already cleaned the carb, since the usual issue is they won't idle if the carb's dirty.

Revving on stand doesn't tell you much in my experience. They run completely different unloaded.

Check the spark plug boot ...

Dad flew those.

Unsurprisingly, my hobby is fixing broken stuff. Right now I've got a 100 year old industrial leather sewing machine on my workbench waiting for me to fab a part.
