Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

let me rephrase...never worked on by a shop. I got aggravated and took it but they never worked on it which as far as I am concerned is a good thing. I haven't had a chance to fool with it anymore but I am hoping to later tonight. Thanks!

reeds look good!

never been to a shop. I will figure this little scoot out. The reason for the different readings was a junk gauge. The problem with re ringing is I don't know what size rings to get. How can I meausure this?

Anymore than 100 is acceptable though. I seem to have good bottom end compression as I distinctley hear a pop when I turn the fan. I guess I am going to pull the head this evening and see what she looks like. The reeds look perfect, clean and tight. They are opening like they are supposed to if I ...

About 101-102

d*** thing....been running excellent all week and then today I ran to McDonalds to grab a burger and shut it off, went inside and came back back out maybe 5 minutes later and NO START. So I walk home and get my truck pick it up. Check for spark; good! Plug looked perfect too, nice and brown. Just in ...

FIXED!!! YAY!!! I had a broken wire...now for the tuning...what notch should the needle be in??
Thanks,
Eric

How can I check these???
Thanks!

Okay so it seems the pickup on the flywheel is good as it immediatley stuck to the fly wheel when I unbolted and the connection seemed good there. I am at a loss...I have a buddys spree sitting here with a good electircal system and a bad motor, waiting on me to rebuild it!! I used his cdi and ...

UPDATE!!!!NO SPARK!!! I have switched the ignition coil, and cdi on at a time with no luck?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The starter circuit still works fine but for some reason I have no spark.
Thanks!!

The compression is okay...about 95 lbs per sq in. and this is with a gauge that uses the hose so it might even be a little higher than that. I checked the needle and it is one notch from being as high as possible. Does that mean it is in the fourth notch or the second notch? Air screw is about 1.5-1 ...

that would be where your vaccum hose is supposed to go for your fuel petcock which apparently you don't have.

the petcock is bad so no vaccum needed for fuel. There is no fuel coming out of the carb unless it's cranking and hand choked.

The bystarter is in the spree. I have tried with it unplugged and plugged and no luck. I am going to check compression a little later tonight probably. Should be okay on compression but I will go ahead and rule that out. In all honesty I dont know what else it could be as the reeds look perfect and ...

Also, I need to get a piston kit and a cylinder for another spree. Anybody have any ideas of the best person to get it from. I am thinking about putting dome pistons back in instead of dish pistons.
