Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i have an 84 spree and i have had issues with it starting inconsistently, it only had an electric start. I thought maybe if I got a kick start it would start manually. I ordered one and installed it gave it some kicks and its started then died almost instantly. Occasionally it has run good but no luck of late I'll just kick and keep kick but now it doesn't start at all i would be fine with just electric if someone knows how to fix this problem it'd be much appreciated

With this cold weather, your scooter will need to be in perfect tune to start.
The first thing to check is BYSTARTER when hard-starting condition is present.
There is a multitude of things that will cause a scooter to fail to start.
Test the bystarter first to be sure it is functioning as it should.
Wikispreedia has good info for this test.

Sounds like the kick start works, but the engine doesnt start , is that correct ?
There is a large amount of information on this site concerning getting the Spree to run correctly.

I hope you guys don't mind me bumping this one. Do all of the Spree line use the same kick start gears?

If so, is there a part number or vendor that might still have some available?

Thanks in advance and sorry about the hi-jack. Feel free to delete it if necessary.
