Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Any suggestions?

Does anyone have a bystarter for sale?

I have an all original Spree with about 400 miles on it. Starts fine runs fine when cold. After about five minutes or less of running it loses power. If you use full throttle it dies. Will not accelerate. Replace spark plug and cleaned carb. Any suggestions? Thanks.
