Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Sorry...fixed!! lol

I stumbled across Fraser, MI. My wife had a bridal shower in Clinton Township, and I dropped her off on Romeo Plank and proceeded to cruise down Groesbeck Fwy while I waited for her, and there it was :)

I ate lunch at the Grand Azteca, went to Best Buy, and then back to get her...hmm, didn't see ...

They'll fit, but not perfectly. The fitment issue will be around the tail light, but they will work.

Pimpin Spree:

Are the vacuum line and fuel line both rubber hoses with red meshed casing? I have two coming off my carb - how do I tell the difference?

Also - I don't know anything about adjustment screws, and their tightness/looseness? Which ones are the adjustment screws? And how do I know how ...

I'm just the mechanic for my kids sprees though.

How 'bout checking where the clip is set for the needle on the throttle slide. Move the clip higher(making the needle set lower) to richen up the mix a bit.

We've only had it running since Monday. I'll check the exhaust. All of the plastic around the cylinder was intact(if that's ...

Yup, it's pretty messed up. I don't have a clue what may have happened. The ped sat for perhaps 15 years before I got it. It has an air cleaner with the foam element, and I cleaned and reoiled it. It's entirely possible that crud was somewhere, but I cleaned everything up pretty good before running ...

Gee, aren't you a bundle of sunshine

Thanx for the info Dac. I'll know a lot more this evening, when I tear into it.

Morning All,
I got my kids '86 spree running pretty good over the past two weeks, with the help of this forum.
Last night he went out for a ride, and it quit on him. When he got home with it and told me that it had quit, I went out an looked at it, and without an official compression test, I can ...
