Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

found an issue with my spree motor today. swapped my belt today and as i went to spin the motor to make sure the front pulley was straight and it locks up. funny thing is i havent done any motor work since last summer and i have ridden it since then, my best guess is that i may have knocked something inside the jug while putting on the exhaust or the new plug. so now i have to dismantle the motor and hope i dont damage the gaskets. wish me luck guyz.

well what ever it is its down inside the case so i need to crack it open. i have never done this so i guess i need a puller to get the magneto? off(deal under the fan) then use it again to pull the case apart? yay!!! what am i getting into?.

ok i got the top half off and all looked good there, i can get almost a full rotation out of it, i dont think its in the case itself. i think maybe something is out of adjustment on the alternator. or something is stuck to it not allowing it to rotatae completly. i still need to get the flywheel off,need to borrow the neighbors puller and get some bolts to fit the flywheel.

Free puller rental from autozone too, just fyi!

Gear puller or steering wheel puller? I paid $10 for my puller at Harbor Freight. Only used it once. Sad.

i figured it out it turned out to be the magnet was hitting the pick up, so all i had to do is push the magnet back a little use 2 playing cards to space it and its good to go, rode it today and well there is something amiss. either the carb needs a good soaking or i have an air leak somewhere.
