Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

were talking about a 86 spree and I bought the 44mm kit available on ebay. Hopefully were talking about the same kit and I can avaid some hadards. Good luck with yours lunytune

I assume it must be too easy to just bolt my new kit on. anyone know what else is involved? Thanks

thanks about the idle screw...and what I meant about the notch is that must have shoved the choke in too far because the two screws and metal thing that hold it in place werent seating correctly upon further inspection

well guys...it appears the noob that I am placed the choke in too far(above the notch). It works great now. Thanks alot for the help but I have one more wuestion for now. My back wheel spins pretty fast when on the stand and running and I know to adjust the idle screw but....I dnt know which screw ...

My 86 spree will only start with starting fluid in the carb. It was my first time cleaning the carb and seems to have gone wrong. Once started with fluid the machine runs fine. Does anyone know where I may have gone wong in the carb and what to change. Choke is my asuumption but i dont know what i ...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. It's a possibility because it was my first time cleaning the carb.

You were right Kenny! Had the throttle thing in the wrong way. She works alright now but occasionally dies when going over a large bump? Thanks for all the advice people, this forum and its members rock, Thanks

Well, I got some starter fluid and sprayed some in and bingo!...spree starts but wants to lurch forward violently once put off stand. Did I not clean the carb correctly when dealing with the pilot jet? I'm very new to this and that is a strong possibility. Could the hose leak cause something such as ...

Found the culprit. The hose going to the larger of the two outlets on the petcock has a crack. This should be the problem then eh? A small crack would really lose all that vaccum power?

I put carb back on tightly, but wont get going. So I cleaned carb and replaced...now it seems there is barely any vaccum to the petcock. Cleaned petcock and still no vaccum. Could i have replaced carb wrong? Im so lost....help?

So I finally got some time to get to work on the carb and.......the thing is loosely hanging onto the two large bolts with a large gap resulting. Could this have been my problem because the carb seems pretty clean to me...should I clean it anyway now its off. But was that the poblem...or the needle ...

Thanks again!

Thanks evilone, I actually do have one fairly close and I'm heading that way today. I felt like if I kept hitting it with a hammer like the tech docs, I was going to end up worse off than now.

Im having alot of trouble getting the flywheel off my 84 spree. I've tried chevyguy's advice in the tech docs to no avail. Are there any other techniques that might work? And what is a crowsfoot?(claw end of hammer?) Thanks

Agreed, those pieces must come out, but I am having trouble dissembling the engine. Trouble spot is where the cooling fan is screwed on to and makes the piston go up and down when turned(cant get it off). There seems to be a notch for a special tool to use once the nut is off. As for the 44mm kit ...
