Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

ok, so I just opened it up and, idk if I should've done this or what, but I sprayed WD-40 on the spindle and gear. (the kick start is connected to the spindle which turns the gear, which turns the drivewhateverbeltstartsengine)

I * around with it, as it was still stuck, and finally got it to budge ...

I have a feeling it's just a ball-beering. My scooter will start if I press the kick start down a quarter of an inch. My electric starter is ehhh makes a dull mechanical/electronic sound in the crankshaft area. It's not turning over.

OK, so the kick start has been getting sluggish on my 93' elite. I've been able to nudge it back and kick start it and it's fine. But today was different.

I was able to kick start it half way, get to practice, and when I came back found it completely stuck.

So, before I take the whole thing apart ...

, i would try switching to honda Gn2 oil.
already ordered when it first came up :)


How many man hours, and how many components, combined with the resources and energy does it take to manufacture a single scooter? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?

How much oil is expended to ship those ...

that was actually extremely helpful as I didn't know of the different oil in gas ratios different scooters/bikes had. Also, I had no idea oil was an issue with cat conv. For that info, thanks. As for the animosity with not being practical in losing power and what not, that's your opinion and, from ...

im sure you could rig something up but u could only go like 15mph and if it had one i bould blow it out with the tourch

That's what I thought(well maybe not to the extent of 15mph). I had to ask though. There's always someone who's heard, tried, or knows something that is completely out of the ...

When is the last time the government did anything to help the people or anything right for that matter?

While I agree concerning many affairs the government gets involved in, I can't help but disagree when it comes to the environment. Seriously, don't be ignorant, this present administration has ...

I'll try the GN2, thanks! :)

The catalytic converter is responsible for converting much of the NO and CO exhaust.

As for performance, I could care less. I'd much rather have a cleaner running scooter. plus, I'm attached to my baby so there's no chance in turning her in to get a vespa or a ruckus ...

So I'm curious as to how I could possibly make my honda elite run a bit cleaner. Is there a catalytic converter mod out there that anyone knows of? I asked someone already and they said I should sell it and get a newer scooter with a cat conv from the factory..... buuuuttt I'm way too attached to my ...
