Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hello :o
so my scooter is good up to like 3/4 throttle (it'll make it to 30ish flat.. 35 downhill lol) but when i open the throttle all the way it just seems to bog down O_o i mean, not too much, but some. i tried taking off the air filter or adjusting the mixture but nothing really changes it. is ...

well, i checked the reed valve and it looked fine to me. then i opened up the cylinder and the head had about 1/16th inch of really hard black buildup which hadn't previously been there.

in the end, i have a second spree which i can't license because it's tabs expired in the '90s, so i pulled the ...

haha.

i'll check the reed valve, and i'll try creating suction myself, i definitely didn't think of that. thanks!! i'll get back to you

there's no fuel getting to my cylinder. :/ basically.

the petcock is fine.
i don't think i could clean my carb any more.

i'm totally stuck.
float appears to be working fine, although i mean,... i can't really see what else could go wrong. maybe i'm mistaken?




i really need some help as this is ...

..okay? well there's too much back pressure, i know what compression feels like. the starter can't take it, and there's no kick start. any suggestions other than know what an engine is?

it's much more than compression. i talked to someone else who said i could be that the exhaust is clogged up. this would make sense, there's a lot of buildup. i'm going to grill it when i get the chance

I managed to end up with two '86 sprees :D go figure. one of which i've gotten running almost perfectly, the other i just started on today.

the problem i have is that there's a TON of resistance with the head on. if the piston is off, you can grab the starter gear and turn that just fine. with the ...

alright, i'll try going through it again

huh. yeah that would make sense

so what passages would be "related to the bystarter" then? I felt like i've cleaned it out pretty well. If the problem is for sure in the carb though, i could get a lot more intense about it

sorry, what's wrong with using the kick start?

but all i need to do is get it up to full speed for literally an instant before it will run perfectly. I would doubt it heats up that fast?

My scooter runs great, except when starting cold. It will idle, but once you give it gas it just dies. But, once you manage to get it up to full speed for so much as an instant, it runs perfectly. Am I just completely inept at controlling the air/fuel mixture, or is there something bigger here? I ...

thanks, I definitely didn't think to check the filter. I'll try that.

My spree that I've been working on FINALLY runs now (yay)

but if I'm cruising and then quickly come to a stop the engine typically will die. It seems like it needs way more air because it kind of sounds like it's suffocating. But, if i give it some gas for a few seconds it'll settle into a high ...
