Hello,

Just had this same problem on my 84 aero nb50m! The throttle cable
was not allowing the needle and piston to seat all the way down. I had
to shorten the housing by about a 1/4 inch and carefully remove the
metal casings around the cable itself. Let it idle and set your air and idle
screws ...

turned out to be the throttle cable was not allowing the needle to seat
all the way in.................running excellent now.

thank you for the help. carb was clean after all.

OK so it turns out that the throttle cable was NOT letting the piston and
needle drop all the way down, therefore causing the engine to rev.

She runs and idles now and am happy to announce that I can ride
her finally. She does scoot right along too!

Thanks for all your help..

Replaced the air filter with an original from Honda. Found the needle
to be bent! Seller sent me a replacement needle and valve. The original
carb had 4 tubes this one has 5. Was told that has an extra breather tube

Should I block the extra tube?

aloha,

Got a new carb for an 84 aero 50 and she still races....once I cover my hand on the carb she idles well..................new bistarter, petcock, *owner) plug, gas.
new air filter , cannot get her to idle properly, when I put on the rear
brake she does idle down.


thanks,

Hello All,

I have an 84 aero nb50m and I have cleaned and cleaned the carb.

It will only start on starting fluid and I can keep her running with little

squirts of gasoline into the carb. I am getting fuel to the bowl and I

have replaced the float valve. New petcock and am dumbfounded.

Good ...

Just removed my muffler and it is full of fuel.......trying to drain it all
out at this moment. Seems to have a hard time draining. Would be
ok to put oven cleaner in it? Or just be patient and let gravity do its
thing?

Well did you ever get the project completed? Does she run? I'm

in the middle of getting mine running and want to see more. Its'

been almost a year.

Thanks for the reply so fast........ the aero started and ran but idle was way up there. All set screws were closed. I opened up the air mix to
1 1/2 turns and adjusted the idle. Then it died and started right up and
thats when I noticed the fuel out of the exhuast.

Anyhow got my new float needle ...

Hello,

I have an 84 Aero 50 nb50m that is blowing fuel from the exhaust!

Can anyone help me pinpoint my problem? I've cleaned the carb

really really well and did it again. I know she'll start. I've checked

and visually inspected the fuel screen. I have blown and sucked

on my petcock as well ...

Hello,

Am buying an 84 aero tomorrow.....what did you find out as far as
part availability? My local honda dealer has most parts for it.
Can you send me pix of the speedometer? Have you been able
to get the mph listed on the speedometer to match? Have you found
a downloadable service manual for ...

Always wear a helmet and I do play guitar and ukulele....(left handed)
and did I mention I ride an 86' Spree with 1013 miles on it>

Thank You.
