Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hey Guys i need some help with a problem. I bought a spree in bad shape and im trying to fix it up for my neice. I have it looking brand new but my problem is with the engine. When i got this spree i put a little gas in the carb and it started so i thought it would run. I put new rings in it cleaned the carb
new belt, and decarbanized the muffler.

Now i tryed to start the engine and it starts but dont idle very good. I give it gas to take off and it dont have very much power but gets me up 15mph at half throttle. If i give it more throttle the engine bogs and stalls. I thought it might be the carb so i took one off a running spree and put that on but same problem. I have replace the regulater, coil,cdi,spark plug, air filter, put 2 different mufflers on it and got a new carb from Greg. It getting plenty of gas
but nothing has fixed the problem. Any ideas from you guys would be greatly
appreciated.

My Spree had a similar problem. I found some one had cut a hole in the air filter cover. I repaired the hole and made sure the filter cover or top was on securely and not leaking. This solved the horrible flat spot at 15 MPH and got me up to 30+ MPH. Chuk

hello i think i know what your problem is i hade the same problem many times ok first thing that has to be perfect on a spree carb is the choke needle if is mising ... or the little cilnder and spring are not held together by tree plastic clips, the scooter will not idlee right..check this and run it again ....

i think your exaust might be backed up with carbon. i had this problem and thats what it was.

your might have tryed to clean it, but it might have been an iowa, and the fiberglass inside might have melted and clogged it

whait a minute you said you replaisted the rings if you use not original rings this could be your problem this dont seet very well and can make your engine not idlee and get hot smely ... the most inportant on a spree in the compretion if it doesent have mush it wont work right.....

I got it fixed it was a bad air leak at the filter and the float was not set right.
Thanks for all the help
