Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i had same issue, anything to do with speed is the belt and muffler.

same problem!

i lost alot of power one day, so i cleaned the carb marticulously, really good... anyways i start it up and it idles crap, warms up then when i drive it it bogs down and i reakon its the air filter, stupid thing iwh i never cleaned the carb now

the short of it is, was going 45km/h now going 30km/h... where do i start to get more spped... dont say carb as its been cleaned heaps!

My bottom piston ring is broken, the top ring is fine! will it run with just the top one?

also how can i screw this up when there are only three plugs for the horn and they are colour coded! surely someone else must have had this issue

with the idle screw and air screw are they there simply to set your idle speed right or do they have an impact on the fuel/oil/air ratio?

i mean by setting it to one extreme will you foul spark plugs and to the other extreme overheat and melt pistions?

The reason i ask is because i have two carbs ...

good news i got one of the bikes started bt its still doing blinkers and horn in tandem sound. starting problem appeared to be spark plug.

i know that sumwhere the wires must be joining and mixing currents, but it just doesnt make sense how originally i didnt have a problem until i replaced the ...

some of you may remember me from my spree which has given me endless problems till i eventually got it going only for it to s*** out again.

well i brought another spree and it started first go every time, it ran really rough as though the engine wasnt balanced.

so i replaced starter engine on my ...
