Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

My 86 spree is cold blooded as he#%*! I've cleaned the carb real good, used fresh gas, sea foam, Drano'd the exhaust, charged the battery, and I've adjusted the carb to MANY different settings and it still stall's when I stop. And during the warm up it spits and sputters until it warms up. After a ...

I have Draino Gel, would that work?

Is there something else I could do to unclog the muffler?

The plug fouled out and the scooter stopped running. The plug was very wet and dirty so I poked a hole in one of the baffles and removed the air filter and now it runs like a champ, 30mph+. I drove a few miles and checked the plug...it looks PERFECT!

Does anyone know why?

Thanks, it just so happens I have a can of Sea Foam in my cabinet that I haven't tried yet (didn't even think of it).

I just check the spark in the dark like you suggested and saw no jumping spark. After I posted this thread I also tried swapping the coil from my spree with no joy then swapped the ...

I always used premium gas because I never knew what the scooter needed so I figured better safe than sorry. My neighbor has machinery that will allow me to mill the head true, :D .
The bottom end of the motor went bad so now im rebuilding it. And to reference "circusracer". Your right the piston is ...

I just got an 89 elite sb50p and it wont go past 17-20mph, it gets a little faster when it warms up it's like the ignition keeps cutting out at high rpm. I've changed the jets from 68 to 65, changed 3 plugs and experimented with different plug gaps. I've got a good battery, I rebuilt the carb, fresh ...

Thanks for the help! Is the elite 50 a 2 or 4 stroke and does it have a CVT trans?

Can someone please tell me what is the biggest motor that will bolt into my spree?
Im sure this question has come up a lot but im dyslexic which means it very hard for me to read. It would take me all day to look it up.
I tweaked my motor and got more speed but I guess the bottom end couldn't ...

Mines an 86 with 4300 miles on it. My moms boss gave it to her and she gave it to me, so I nick named it the Honda free. All I had to do was rebuild it.

I flooded the motor with the 68 jet, I'll try it again after I port it.

Well if I can take away .020" for next to nothin' then I don't think im gonna' pay someone to mill a perfectly good head down.

I got this scooter for free and my goal was to see how much I could improve on it without spending more than the bikes worth. So far im up to $170, that includes new ...

I'll take a look at the intake tomorrow, this would be my first porting experience. I've done a bit of reading about porting over the years so I feel confident I won't screw it up. Do I need any last minute advice?

"the reeds" Thanks! Is there any other removable restrictions after the reeds?

Im not sure what to do to the mani, when I look inside I see something that looks like it's completely blocking off the intake. When I push on it with my finger it opens up. Since I didn't know what it was I decided to just leave it there.

p.s. When I looked in the exhaust mani I didn't find any ...

Can someone please tell me if milling the head down will improve the low rpm torque. I just don't want to go through the expense of a motor swap or a bore kit.

Thanks to this forum I've gotten my free spree up to 34mph (from 28mph) on flat ground but I lost some bottom end.
