Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hello Took me a long time, but I did get a chance to put in the Boyesen # PSR-196 Reeds. Wanted to confirm that it is a perfect fit for the 1983 aero 50 yay! I can say that it was almost as if I'd put a better carb on, in terms of throttle response! These definitely made the throttle buttery smooth ...

Hello, Okay I FINALLY had time to check out putting new rollers on....and...well I'm still not sure what it is (maybe the back spring?) To refresh a bit -When purchased and got running it running right. Acceleration was normal Excluding a minor change (Take off boggier) after fully heated. -About a ...

Hello, Thank you for the responses! @ Bear DOH! I have an 1983 sorry. For some reason I've messed that up when talking about the scooter. I dunno why my brain keeps inserting the 5. Also, (I measured mine at 13.2gm) and they are 16 x 13mm. I assume it is all stock but 13.2gm is heavy! right? @ Maddo...

Hello, It's me again. Not sure if anyone remembers, I had a 1983 Aero 50 I bought and was trying to get it going for reliable transportation. I got through all the problems and parts; also had a friend bend / straighten my rear wheel enough to drive (yay). I still have some wobble and vibration, but...

Okay, Boyesen got back to me on a reed that should fit stock in the Aero 50. I have one on the way so we'll see if it works. If so, then I guess anyone with the 1983 NB50M could get one easily. Yay Quote from the email: "Our reed # PSR-196 should be a pretty close fit for your 1983 Honda Aero 5...

The Aero 80 reed block is 1.157" wide and 1.460" long. so then the #740 reed is wider than your block? If I'm understanding....I wasn't sure if they could overhang any. (block 1.157" reed 1.413") As for the Aero 80 setup I have considered it because of it being "simple"...

Well, I got my first response from Boeysen; although I don't believe the number will work. The said if I had a max dim of 1.5" x 1.55" (all other measures fitting) then their #711 would fit. I let them know that my max width was only 1.41", so I'll see if they shoot back another model...

Okay I measured the angled face (ramp) on the reed block where the reeds rest. The overall width of this face is 1.410" and the overall length is 1.55". Length was measured from the top of the ramp to the lower edge of the mounted reed (not removed yet). There is also a plastic "pin&q...

*, I'm a retard....Sorry here's just plain links. Sorry http://s615.photobucket.com/albums/tt239/billmckraken/1983%20Honda%20Aero%2050/?action=view&current=reedsdimension.jpg http://s615.photobucket.com/albums/tt239/billmckraken/1983%20Honda%20Aero%2050/?action=view&current=reedtop.jpg http:...

Hello, Thank you for the responses! @ Bear, ya I was pretty sure I could bolt up an Aero 80 Block, intake and carb; but had hoped (for now) to keep the stock items. Also I finally found the post about your manual choke, hoping to adapt for mine; but was bummed it was for the 80 and vacuum driven. I ...

I just realized I probably should have put this post in technical discussion and I apologize. I am not super familiar with forums, but I'll try to get it right in the future. Is there a way to move this post, should I start another in technical (don't want to post too much)? Otherwise, sorry again f...

well I am a total noob with these scooters, but do have an 83' and have learned a couple things. Total credit for the Honda models goes to Bear. Finding this post I thought it would be good to put here. Charge regulator - 1983 Aero 50 -1984 Aero 125, -1983 - '84 Aero 80, -1984 Gyro -1982 - '83 Urban...

Hello, I've been searching to see if there are any aftermarket reeds that will fit the 1983 Aero 50. I've seen some posts for using the Boyesen #740 reeds on an Aero 80, but haven't seen anything for the 50. I noticed Boyesen's site lists the Vision 50.....I think it showed a #716; not sure if that ...

Well I'm still plugging away at trying to get this 1983 Aero 50 running. I believe I have most of the parts that were worn, missing or bad finally here. I have taken the tire off the rear wheel to see how bad it is. I have the new tires in, but I'm not sure that I can use this wheel. I don't have a ...

Thank you for the replies! @ mbilderb I did note the polarity in the manual and checked both ways. The other side does test fine. I had hoped it wasn't bad. Good reason why the battery is dead and won't charge though So, Bear. Am I understanding correctly that the Aero 80 regulator would work? If so...
