Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

84 Spree have 40 MPH speedos... ironically the later ones only go to 35 but are faster. How's that for false advertising?

Def false advertising. Know anything about the (e) suffix? Like maybe if it is from another country?

Anyone else?

To me its worth it because I have no family, no kids, no wife. I have all the time in the world.
If you have any of the above I would say its not worth it

Thanks though Dac.
I forgot to mention that it is an 84'. It says NQ50e on the fuel tank.
When I googled "Honda nq50e" a bunch of stuff came up in like russian I think. Unfortunately no pics

I just picked up this NQ50e and was wondering if anyone knew anything about them. I did a google search and couldn't find any info. Here are a few pics that I snapped Came with the front optional basket and floormat says Honda http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j305/bradthreee/Ebay188.jpg I thought i...

Still couldn't use the multimeter. The piston and jug is in prestine shape. I'll try a compression test next(with my thumb). I really don't think its the compression. It now wants to start but just doesn't. It has nice bluish spark and is getting gas to the carb. Any ideas?

This def. is not normal. Don't ride that on too much until you find out what the issue is. It may blow your motor in the long run. I also see you are from Santa Clarita. I'm about 30 min north of you in Palmdale. Let me know if you ever need any parts. I part out Sprees all the time

Thanks pimpin spree thats kinda the instructions I needed. I got kinda impatient yesterday so I swapped the motor with an 86' that I had laying around. Anyways I think it was for the best because the was some weird kinda white powder lurking around that motor when I pulled off the kickstarter case. ...

I went and bought a multimeter as I didnt have one and have never used one and downloaded the Service manual and I honestly dont understand how I am suppossed to test it. Please enlighten me in laymens terms. Thank you

I recently picked up another Spree on Craigslist to part out, but when I cleaned it up it really looked good and thought it would be a shame to part it. So then my misson began trying to get it started. I have a bunch of left over parts from my other part-outs so I figured I would give it a shot. Fi...

I was having a similar issue with mine and it ended up being a faulty auto-bystarter. Check the tech docs and it tells you how to test your auto-bystarter. If the bystarter checks out okay then I would think that maybe you got some junk in your carb that you need to clean out.

Exactly where is that located and how should I clean it?

OK so now I finally got the thing running, but it doesn't idle too well. I put the new autobystarter on and decarbonized the muffler with NAOH just like on the tech docs end no more white smoke. I rode it around the block a few times and when I stop it dies out. I also adjusted the throttle cable an...
