honda express 50cc?

Post by caito »

hi all,

i saw on craigslist a Honda Express 50cc for sale. it's an '81, garage kept and with only 1 or 2 owners throughout its life. it starts & runs well, electric/lights work. they're asking 300. go for it? what are things with this particular scoot I need to look out for, if it has problems aside from the common 2stroke issues?

i'm super excited and am going to look at it later this week. :geekdance:
please be patient with me. i promise i'll try to understand. :roll:

Be sure it has an airbox. If it does not it wont run correctly. They are difficult to find and cost $$$$$ when you do. :smile:

A lot of parts are still available. Treatland had quite a lot of stuff like pipes and big bore kits and replacement headlights. be sure not to run without a taillight or you will blow your headlight. And the starter spring can break but it is a fairly easy fix, you tube search honda express kick start and you can convert it to a kick start. The carb is very close to the spree too.
