Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hi,

OK, I re-cleaned the carb. It turns out the issue was not related to the carb. It is the drive belt and clutch weights (pads). The engine is running fantastic, but the lack of speed is do to the belt and clutch.

Any recommendations for these? I have seen a lot of postings regarding the belt ...

Hi,

Yes, it came with the stock airbox. I checked it and it is clean. Good suggestion on the exhaust. It seems the exhaust is flowing freely, but can't hurt to check it.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, I was able to download a PDF copy of the manual which was very helpful.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am attempting to bring a 1988 Elite E back to life that I acquired at a garage sale. I have done the following:

1. Cleaned gas tank.
2. Replaced fuel lines.
3. Replaced petcock - previous owner had installed a non vacuum version.
4. Removed and thoroughly cleaned carb.
5. Check spark plug ...
