Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

nice writeup thanks for the info.i wonder if after i get the bulb out if i could soldier one back in place?

my headlight has stopped working and i was wondering if its possible to replace the bulb only instead of the whole unit?

i also eliminated my piece of sh__ petcock and welded a barb fitting on.this was about a year ago and it works like a charm.i put a inline cutoff valve on it so the gas doesnt leak out.i just reach up under the plastic and cut it off when done riding.

that was a good explnation of the carbs on these bikes but i mysself think this is rare for this to happen or ruin your top end,the only reason i say this is i bought a spree new in 86 that i did this to all the time as a kid and this bike was still runing great at 8000 plus miles.im not saying this...

hey i just found out my coil on my 85 spree is bad .have any of u guys used the shoot shiny high voltage performance coil?seen one on ebay.ive never heard of the brand.

it was the coil took the one out of my aero for a test and she ran great

yep changed the plug today,didnt help im thinkin maybe the stator is going bad,feels like it just loses spark all the sudden.

im assuming your talking about letting off the gas all the way?i changed carbs today and it did the same thing would bad reeds cause this to cut out this bad.if i stay on the gas it cuts out for 2-3 secs then picks up again.like i said its not missing its like i hit the kill switch then turned it ba...

what does the needle valve thats hooked to the throttle cable do?i know it has settings on it to rich/lean the fuel mixture but wat does it control besides that,topend midrange?

well took the spree out for some test runs and when i give it half throttle it doesnt do this,so now im thinking it might not be getting enough gas?

my 85 spree runs great but for some reason when i go down a hill in between 30-35 mph it cuts out,not spitting or missing i mean it quits like someone hit the kill switch.if u let off the gas for a few sec then hit it again its fine until i reach the 30-35 markagain.any ideas

that kit looks really nice.im gonna go with that one when i get the cash.do you think i will have to rejet the carb with that kit?if so wat worked on urs? thanks

yep i never put my panels back on until a week of test riding lol check ur plug might be runing rich causing it to bog and die if u hit the gas to quick

does anyone know where i can find a big bore kit for my 85 nb 50 aero? ive searched the net with no luck.

when your compression ratio goes up <dome piston on 85 spree head>do you have to readjust the fuel mixure or maybe rejet do to the higher compression.
