Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Wow thanks guys for all the help I'm glad you all agree on it being one thing.

It ran fine this summer now you have to hold it wide open just to get it to start and sputter. Fuel is spewing out of the rear overflow tube. What's causing this I thought I had it fixed.

Too good for an answer apparently.

Whats the best way to get that hub off there without the special tool?

Okay...I found out why it is going so slow. The clutch pack towards the rear by the rear tire are shot. You can see where they turned purple on the cover so they must be slipping when they go to engage. I am going to change clutches and that should get my top speed back.

Won't running at full throttle for a half mile or more blow up a 2 stroke? My exhaust is not restricted, and the plug is dark black but not wet. I am having a intermittent miss only at high rpm's. I changed the coil and cdi with no changes in results. What would my next step be?

Okay I will do that and let you guys know whats up...thanks again!

That didn't fix it...now what?

I think I found the problem...I have an Iowa model elite. I took off the plate on the back with an R stamped on it. It had three screws holding it. Is this a restrictor for the clutch? I read a how to on this thought I would try it...I have yet to test it out though.

Clean carb and filter already...what is a plug chop?

It runs great but has no top end. I checked to see if there was a restrictor on the clutch and didn't see such a thing. The belt looks brand new. Any ideas guys?

I swapped mufflers and that didn't help. I will try testing the cdi unit. I should mention I have an Iowa model and I was wanting to know all the restrictions that came along with that. I have another moped for parts that is not an iowa model so I could swap all the restrictive stuff out. An it has ...

Factory position...how would i check the clutches? I don't think anything is slipping because it will pull right up a steep hill no problem. Plus I don't smell the clutches anyways.

Got it fixed ended up being a clogged idle jet even after I cleaned it with a piece of wire. It has great power but will not go above like 15-20 mph. It likes its topped out way before it should be. My book says to check and see if the drive belt is slipping. It doesn't seem to be because i try to ...

I went and bought a new reed valve set from the dealership. I noticed the old reeds were bad but that still didn't fix it.
