Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

everything is good except I'm not getting gas out of the tank. I installed clear fuel line--that's how I know. I'm going to troubleshoot this, I'll let you guys know what happens.

If you are still looking for a starter, ebay is a good place to get one, they don't seem to auction many bendix(s) though...

a guess: perhaps there is a short that is "engaged" when you activate the rear brake, and for some reason it screws up the spark--check and see if you have a spark when the brake is on (when the bike won't run). If the bike runs fine without the rear s*** hooked up, you should test all of the wiring ...

So, I ended up getting a 12 for the battery; and I figured out that the original wire was a 14. The repairs went smooth as some of the wiring had been overloaded or something, it was all melted together. I am going to test all of the electrical s*** and make sure that nothing is going to cause that ...

Yeah, I checked the manual, maybe I missed it, but I don't think it says anything about wire gauges. Noise?

I'm going to have to do this s*** too

check ebay out

The carb has an "emergency" drainage system, it lets fuel out when the float fills up too high; a faulty float valve or float itself could cause this.

Any definitive answer on what gauge wire the battery takes?

Anyone keen on what gauge wire for the battery? 10? 12? 14? certainly not 18.

Noise, I am going to have to replace the neg bat cable, what gauge would you recomend for this--it looks like a 10 or 12, but I want to be sure, yeah, it's pretty messed up. Thanks, I'll let you know when I make progress.

And what is the proper gauge for the wiring--in case I need to do some repairs--which I will--18?

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the scoot, but I have managed to strip it down in order to do a complete "overhaul" or whatever they call it. I have tested most of the electrical wiring and it tests good. I am curious to know where I can get the proper gaskets for this bike--anybody know ...

yes
