Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hi Mr.Whelan. no worries my friend I always drive safely. Plus the spree weighs 100 pounds and stops very good. :wink: for some reason I have more fun on this spree, then my old Eddie Lawson replica ZRX1100. :peace: Slow bike ridden Fast > Fast bike ridden slow. Found that out on South Mountain in ...

Thanks,
I'll try one with an extent handle, like an old vespa would have.
At least I could still run the petcock cover.

And surely they have a sidecar, for their "balls" to ride in.
Jeez, and people said I was nuts for riding my aero50 around Phoenix.

Sorry, 86 spree.
And it doesn't show on their site as a model in the list.

That could definitely work.
Do you know which petcock from there would fit?
I've heard the old cb motorcycle petcock may fit.
Again, Thanks for the help guys!

No the nut (i guess) that attaches the petcock to the tank.
What should have been on my spree instead of the jbweld I guess would be one way to put it.
So looks like I'm out another $10, but at least I'll be able to use it.
I wish I knew why there were two different size attachment nuts for these.

Anyone have a line on where one could get just the bolt for the petcock? Ordered one from Ebay, and the tank side of the nut is 14mm. I need 16mmx1.5, So...Think I could have it drilled and tapped for the larger size? Or probably a new bolt would be better, because I do not look forward to paying mo...

Okay, so I'm NOT going with the 85 aero, or a 93 elite that are local, but (imo) are too expensive $250-300 And I'd just be buying for the engine, a complete engine and harness couldn't be too much more than that. I'm VERY interested in the "kit+stock carb+ stock pipe = 60mph" setup. like ...

Okay got the carb apart, The main has NOT been drilled (yay!) The jb, or lead substitute, something grey and clay/plastic looking got into the tank, AND blocked up the sending unit. Tore it apart, and cleaned the crap out of it (literally), It actually works now (Yay again!) and still need that petc...

Please tell me that I don't have one of you guys to thank for this... Previous owner jb welded the petcock sans any mechanical attachment to the spout on the tank. I've found a n.o.s. petcock local for $15 so no problem there, I'm just wondering if (I highly doubt it) someone here may have advised h...

1: yes she's the owner on the title, I checked. And I've never had to have the seller sig notarized before, just started it i guess. 2: She's not asking for 10% I had to buy $60 in gas (I need to get my festiva running again.) to make the two trips, so I consider it a 10% A-hole tax. 3: small claims...

Nope thats only in michigan. Ohio laws suck ! QFT! Back in AZ i bought an 84 aero50, with a bos and registered it as a moped. Here I pay premium prices for a bike with admittedly low miles, but the aparently original tank of gas in it, aparently..because that was more like stale gas scented jello. ...

okay i bought this '01 elite 50 from this prson who lives 200miles from me. She signed the title when i picked up the scoot but didn't get it notarized, So the DMV tells me I can't get a title unless she gets it notarized. Which she has refused to do by setting up appointments (twice) for me to driv...

Actually it looks like an elite 250 to me.
Making it cooler than the 80 but still no very cool.

I have an 84 aero and my variator looked just like that. In the manual it says to add 15g of lithium based grease to the variator. I soaked mine in carb cleaner, scrubed it out, then just put some grease on my finger and smeared it around the ramps and valleys. Cleaning that wad of gunk out helped t...
