Re: 1987 elite carb?

I can't get the needle to seat properly and it's been sitting outside in an alley for couple years. Have cleaned it best I could and tried 3 needles to no avail. It just continues to leak Tried two floats also.

1987 elite carb?

Do the carbs that you see on eBay work for my elite 50s. I think they are made in China or somewhere......... They look similar but hate to invest if they are no good. Thanks. Doug

Honda elite 50S 1987 need help to run

Hi. I have a basket case elite that I put together. Most of the wiring harness is messed up so I'd like to just use the minimum to get it running. Does anyone know what must be hooked up to have it run. It has no lights etc. just an engine that would like to go. I know it's a hard one and I apprecia...

Spree hunts at idle then dies

Hi, Was wondering if anyone had an opinion. My spree 87 model runs on at idle then dies and will not restart. By runs on I mean it runs fast and slow and fast and slow then dies. Have replaced everything in the carb that I could needle, polished seat. checked for leaks both fuel and vacuum.

Re: Poor running spree times two

Yes the airboxes are in good shape with new filters. I can remove air intake tube and hold finger over opening and restrict the air and it runs better but I have no answer for why if I don't, I'll check the bystarters again but they seem to be working, is there a bypass for the bystarter to find out...

Re: Help with problem [Spree Won't Take Throttle - Ed.]

Little more update, removed and cleaned carb again, got scoot to accelerate some but now it bogs down at about 1/2 throttle, can't go over about 15 mph. it continues to run at steady throttle but misfires and coughs if i try to accelerate. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: Help with problem [Spree Won't Take Throttle - Ed.]

Rain stopped and no improvement on spree. I can still hold half of the intake opening blocked and it seems to accelerate fine while in garage. If I stop blocking the carb intake it fails to accelerate and still has the gasping noise. It seems like this would be an indication of not enough fuel, or t...

Re: Help with problem [Spree Won't Take Throttle - Ed.]

I could never find an air leak....... with the intake tube off and covering the carb intake with one finger ( choking it ) it started running better, eg: would rev with throttle opening. This may have cleared some dirt from carb ( i cleaned it twice and rebuilt it ) I'm still not sure why but it sta...

Help with problem [Spree Won't Take Throttle - Ed.]

Hi, My 1986 spree was running great till this morning when it started bogging down, no throttle response except for a gasping sound. It will idle but dies as soon as you advance throttle. It seems that fuel is arriving at carb. Cannot advance throttle at all. Like its either flooded out or starving ...
