Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I've had my 85 Honda Aero 50 for a little less than a year and think I would like to move on. I have had a ton of issues with it, I just recently had to rewind the stator exciter coil because I lost spark and found the coil to be open. Now that it's fixed and running I think I'm going to sell. I wa...

I thought his price was a little steep too, I was going to try talking him down. I was going to sell my Aero 50 tonight but the guy just texted me that his car broke down, grrr! I bascially want a 150 so I could take it on 55MPH roads and I want the ability to take a passenger as well. The max rider...

Greetings: I've had the same thoughts. Consider the abundant, well-supported, and stone-axe reliable Honda CH150. A nice used one would fit your needs and your budget. None on CL by me :cry: There is a Kymco S200 with 4,500 miles for $1,800 though. I know Kymco is a lot better than the Chinese scoo...

Thanks, I knew the diameter of the old winding and went a little more, came to 770, perfect! The result... Started up right away!!! Yes, after sitting for about 7 months, finally! Sorry to say I am looking to sell it now, this scooter has been a pain since I bought it last year. I do want opinions o...

I finished winding my coil yesterday! Came out to be around 770 ohms. I think the 37AWG is a touch larger than the stock wire because the coil did come out to a bigger diameter. I used a treadmill motor that I had to a variable DC power supply to help with the winding, worked out really well. I'm go...

Got the coil apart yesterday. It almost seemed lacquered, I had to cut through the copper and use a hammer and chisel to get the windings apart, there was no clean way to do it. I then measured the wire with a micrometer. I found a chart for enamel coated wire (I assume they just used single build [...

Probabaly best to measure the wire you have, and look up the gauge. Wire gauge and a resistivity table should get you in the ballpark. Honda has a pretty high variablity allowed for resistance. Also, 600-900 ohms points to thin wire, and a lot of turns required. For the spark exciter coil, you are ...

Does anyone know what gauge magnet wire and roughly how many windings the exciter coil is? I think I'll just wind my own. I guess if I knew the gauge I could just wind until I fall between 600-900 ohms per the manual. "magnet wire"???????? Never heard of such a thing. Another term for ena...

The coil doesn't even necessarily need to be connected at the posts, just be intact, right? It uses electro magnetic fields with the magnet to cut flux lines and induce current in the coil, right? The coil itself has to be bad if I am not getting an induced voltage and therefore spark. So where does...

I FINALLY got the Harbor Freight pulley puller, that was ridiculous! Anyways, I now see the spark exciter coil but it is wrapped in a fabric cloth that I cannot pull, it just keeps breaking. I do see two soldered "posts" on the coil which I assume to be the ends but they read open across t...

I've tried putting the nut on and pounding and could not get it off. I also tried making my own makeshift puller and the scrap metal I used just bent. I ordered a puller from Harbor Freight 3 weeks ago, the item is apparantly out of stock. It finally is shipping so hopefully I will get this flywheel...

Start with the cheapest thing first, get the new spark plug (if it has no spark). That was the first thing I did. I also checked for arcing to the block from the spark plug wire, nothing. I'm going to check my grounds today but my resistance readings for the alternator exciter coil were in the mega...

Bump, anyone? I did check my ignition and engine kill switch, both are perfect. I also checked ground and there is only my meters internal resistance for a reading (perfect). I really don't know what to do next. I was going to pull the fan to get to the alternator but saw that a flywheel lock and a ...
