Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

So Bear, are you saying if I try a bunch of times it should catch hopefully after a while and thats normal in this situation?

So in the brochure all it says is " the one to go" and "faster" or whatever. Whats the deal are these both different 50 cc scooters honda made side by side the same year?

Cool, that is def good to know about the wheels. So its all back together and i tried to start it and it did not catch. theres some trick right to starting it after a long time, involving the carb or something yes?

Ok I guess I am Harry Potter, I waved my magic wand and that air bled like a * from the oil line. I was totally intimidated by it but it was as simple as plugging and unplugging it a few times and watching the air bubble rise right out. I guess I'll be riding this scooter to Hogwarts afterall. Glad ...

OK so the gas tank is cleaned out and reattached and filled with 50 to 1 premix. The oil tank is back on, I cleaned out the oil strainer with an air hose (the same one that failed me in the tire dept.) I have re-attached the hose to the oil pump and added the oil to the tank. Gonna try and be patien...

haha now i see you meant 3 inch i was excited thinking i could get em for 3 bucks hey man where can i get these 3.00 tires? Greetings: Congratulations and welcome! Get a new spark plug, (NGK BPR6 HSA, or an 8 if your riding is all at WOT.) order a spare belt, and ride it around for awhile until you ...

hey man where can i get these 3.00 tires? Greetings: Congratulations and welcome! Get a new spark plug, (NGK BPR6 HSA, or an 8 if your riding is all at WOT.) order a spare belt, and ride it around for awhile until you determine if it has any "issues". Consider a set of 3.00 tires to replac...

Thanks in the nick of time I was just about to put the gas in the gas tank, I didn't know to premix it so thats good. That makes sense I'll try the first 4 tanks as you suggest with the premix.

Right on Bear, I figured there might be a better way. I went to Hap's Honda today and it was pretty awesome. Had to stay on track so much cool stuff but picked up the air filter, the 2 stroke motor oil, and ordered the signal lenses which are broken on my scooter. I have drained and removed the oil ...

Ok Thanks that clarified a few things. I think I might know a place to get that from. I'm not quite as far along as I had hoped but I really am enjoying doing the work, it's totally new to me but it's fun and interesting. Mostly got a lot of cleaning done today. I scrubbed the dirty plastic panels w...

Is the right kind of oil and the filter something i can pick up at a auto parts store, or will I need to order it?

I'm really trying hard to take care of this scooter right because I need it to take care of me!

My next major question now that i have the old gas tank squared away is what about the OLD OIL?

DO i need to get rid of that too and put in fresh?

Thanks this is very handy info! You guys have really been helpful! I'm gonna appreciate that ride even more now that I'm learning how the thing runs. thats exactly why i had my girlfriend rebuild hers from the ground up. the in-line fuel filter replaces the in tank filter and since its in line you c...
