Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I'm just curious... but when I picked up my scoot from it's long days in storage, one of the first things I had to do was un-stick the vaccuum valve. It was all gunked up (though I think that's because the guy who had it before put lots of fuel additives into the thing, not realizing that a bottle of that stuff does a 2 gallon tank).

I ended up using an air compressor and lots of carb cleaner to get it moving again.


Anyhow, has anyone else had to unstick their vaccuum valve before it worked?

Mine got stuck open and ended up (i think that my float is messed up) draining my whole tank through the overflow on the carb. A little bit of carb cleaner fixed that right up.

yea... i hated that... mine was fine... but if it wasnt i would have been mad.

I just replaced my original aero fuel valve with an elite-s type, for stock intakes drill & tap a fitting.

what the diff etween adn aero on e and an elite s one???

Yes, had to do the exact same thing. Still stuck closed sometimes, till I doused it with WD40.
