Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I have an 85.....Im thinking of just a longer bolt & nut....i really dont wanna try rethreading....it makes me nervous just thinking about screwing(ha ha) something up haha

Thanks so much!

So the 2 screws that hold my Carb to the engine are stripped......well the fixtures on the carb itself are stripped. Has anyone on here run across this problem and redrilled the carb fixtures to a larger size?

Should I just buy a new carb? Or is it possible for this to work alright?

Yea I set both to stock, I think the problem is I may just not have tightened the screws enough that hold the carb together, so a little is seeping out

So I cleaned my carb yesterday, put it back in my scooter and started it up just fine after 3-5 tries

It was running better (2-3 mph faster) than before cleaning, and I was super excited about how great it was running....until!

I start it up this morning and take off

around 15mph the scooter ...

ah ok, im just looking to get my scooter running faster. I need to clean out the carb tonight and maybe make it run a little on the lean side after adjusting my throttle clip

I was hoping to mod it in some way.

How many MPH do you get off of the belt mod?

ah straight pipes are banned in NY...I Eat my words. n/m

Bikers have fought for years here in NY for pipe laws, its not an issue here really.....

so hows the performance end of this mod? Ive read of a potential of 5mph faster with the proper piping, or is this a complete myth

this is a nightmare dude....keep us updated please!!!!

ah so it is not a good idea? I planned on ear plugs anyway

as some MC's say,,,,"Loud Pipes Save Lives"

I remember seeing pics of a guy in Michigan on here who put a straight pipe on his Spree instead of the stock muffler. Has anyone gotten good results off of this? Im worried about the backpush difference with the straight pipe as opposed to the muffler, Ive heard sprees mufflers can be very ...

ok awesome thank you!

So yea....today I was riding and my back tire went flat. I have a front tired that is fine. Is it possible to replace the back tire & tube with the front wheels?

argh so I may have wasted $50 on a new Bystarter for no reason is what youre saying?

Basically in short now for people

Scooter ran bogged down.

Looked at carb, carb was missing back connector bolt

Replaced bolt and cleaned carb

Needle Tip Of Autochoke/Bystarter popped off

Put back together....scooter wont start

Bought new bystarter since I figured it had to be that

Installed ...

Put in new Bystarter today, still not starting...arghhhh please help people

I just spliced the wiring for the bystarter in with electrical tape. Should I have soldered it instead or what.

I cant try much more now my battery is almost dead from trying to start it so many times aghhh

Please help ...
