Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I've taken off my Spree's petcock and got the valve working, but it still wont start.

There was about half a tank of fuel still in when I removed the petcock, and only a few drops would leak out making me think that the filter must be clogged. The directions said it should just come out with the petcock, but it didn't.

Am I right with my thinking that the filter is clogged? If so what is the best way to get it out?

Thanks

Hi,
Yes, your tank strainer sounds clogged.

How to get it removed was recently covered in

Thanks, just one more question. Is the white plastic tube part of the filter setup, or does the filter sit in it?

The tube and filter are 1 piece.

My fuel filter looks like it might be stuck in the tank in the litlle hole where the gas comes out I looked thru how to get it out (so thats not a prob.) but when putting the filter back in what side should you put the fuel filter back in from inside the gas tank or where the valve goes?

THANKS

The filter will only come out the bottom, it has a rim, you put it in from the bottom and the petcock presses it back in.

So it goes out the bottom, and put it in from the bottom, I will try again later or tomorrow gave up for the day I couldnt get the lill white filter out an was kinda scared of braking it off or something I tried pushing something from the bottom up to push it out and thought I was gonna poke a hole thru it, tried pulling it out from the top with some pliers and again was thinking it might rip or brake (not sure how tough the lill filter is)

THANKS ONCE AGAIN KENNY YOUR BECOMING MY HERO LOL

I push it is out through the top with a screwdriver.
