Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Oh crap. The top of my sparkplug came unscewed and now the tip is stuck way up in the spark plug cable. If I screw it back togehter and pull on it the threads strip out. I hope my spark plug lasts forever because now it has to...

I tinkered around alot with it last night. I think I found a leak in the intake and/or crankcase. Plus I cracked the insulator that goes between the carb and intake, so thats a leak. I believe there is a leak because even when I rev it up the RPMs climb very slowly. It is not snappy at all. Probably...

Hey man I have the same high idle problem on my 87 Elite 50. Are you running an air cleaner element? I could get mine to idle at normal speed if I put my hand over the pipe in the intake box to restrict the airflow a little.... I dont have a filter element. Maybe if I had one the flow would be restr...

TESTKING is great for Cisco, I passed 5 exams this summer. Don't know about MS and Testking. I think Microsoft sued them, but they haven't changed all their questions yet.

This is great! What year is it? And why is your kickstart sticking straight up in the last pic?

Yeah this bike was unrideable because it was so rusted. I thought it would be rewarding to clean it up a bit. After taking the pieces off and cleaning them up it started to turn into a huge project. I ended up tearing it down all the way, except for opening the crank case, but everything else was op...

its a 1987 elite. not sure on engine code where is it? Nice. The code is on the gear case cover right next to the oil filler plug where is says 90cc. I'm glad you posted pics because they are really helping me put my 87 elite back together (same color too!). I forgot where most of the pieces went! ...

its pretty clean on the inside... except there is some overspray from primer and painting. So its not totally smooth. kinda rough like primer. I'll check the bead next, thats a good idea.

I just put on the wheels and spun the front around and noticed it is out of alignment. This is after sandinging priming painting clearcoating innertubes and new cheng shins... my rim is bent! what do I do now?

What year is that Elite? Whats the engine code?

it did not look like it had been taken apart before. could be, didn't look like any swappage was goin on

Okay I'm gonna have to double check when I get home..... but If I recall correctly my VIN is JH2AF121 and the frams says 1987 on it but the engine has AF05E stamped on it. That would be like an 88 engine on an 87 frame so something doesn't add up here...

the only way to drain the oil out is to spilt the cover off the block, gasket should be aval at honda,belt sounds streched/hin, your center sping is prob dead as well as the clutch springs, nows the perfect time to tune up the trans-new weights, center/clutch springs,ramp guides . Mine had a drain ...

Okay I got the pulley and clutch off and am draining the gear case oil. It looks like it will be a hard time breaking the gasket between the cover and the block. And then finding a new gasket. Oh so the belt seems loose but I dont know if its bad or what.... basically you can squeeze it and it touch...
