Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

bump.

I was here a few months ago, got a spree off a friend for 5$. Knew nothing about them, just knew it didn't run. And it still doesnt, but i've narrowed the causes down. First off, the starter solenoid is broken as far as I know, its stuck and won't turn, even when hooked up to the battery. Second, I ...

Obviously I know this Bear, I've been on forums like this in the past and its pretty easy to see that info in posts... What im SAYING is that its easier to look at this thread to see if anyone is near you, than to browse through every post on this board. You really think i didn't notice it says all ...

Well bear, I dont want to look at everyone whos on heres profile to figure out what state they're in. I just want to see if anyone is near or close to my state, and other people can see if people are close to them too.

Carb cleaner.. mmm.. I see why walmart won't sell it to you if you're under 18, its addicting.

I see what you did there, Wheelman

Pics dont work when Im on my phone:P
Im just gonna guess you're implying I don't have to take it off, which is very good.

Thanks wheelman. Ill do that tomorrow, how hard is it to get the starter off the body? do I have to removee anything to get to the screws to get it off? Or can I test it with the female spade jumper without taking it off at all?

Could I screw something up if I connected a jumper cable from the car directly to the starter solenoid? I feel like that would blow something up

I have a 1.5a 6-12v charger, it has something called 'float' mode, that will keep the battery safe I believe

And why would my lights and stuff work but not the starter?

Ok, well I took your info that the battery wasnt fully charged, and sure enough, when I hooked it up to a car battery, the back light went on. Horn works, flashers work, but when I hit the start button with engine on and break, nothing. So everything works except the starter. any tips?

Alright, Ill do that then. is there any chance the battery could explode?

This circuit tester has already solved about 3 problems. I got battery acid and charged the battery, IT LIVED after an hour! before the acid, circuit tester got nothing from the positive terminal, put battery acid in, charged for 2 hours, test it and its charged. Put in scooter, test the ignition fu...

Well itll at least tell me if powers going where its supposed to be

Just curious, I live in Eastern Mass
