Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I take it back. After it sitting for 3 hours it starts now with a little throttle help! WHAT THE HECK

I cleaned carb n thats why I had to seek help for idle speed. It will not restart

So, update...i got a working petcock valve and a professional to help me with idle speed. I rode it (my 1985 honda spree) home from the shop. Several hours later I was riding to work. About 5 miles in, after it working perfectly, I suddenly lost all power and it died. It would crank, turn, but not s...

Wait wait wait! This picture is the ORIGINAL before I even touched it! So...it was running off of this carb in the photo before I messed with it and now it WONT idle...ironic isnt it?

The oil was because it was leaking oil from the elbow. I fixed that. It's quite possible I put the spacer on wrong See, the bike worked ok before I took apart carb. As for the testing of the bystarter, I am ill-equipped for that lol

Inside and out.

O this pic is before I cleaned it. It's clean now. Thanks I will try that tomorrow.

Sorry. 1985 Honda Spree. I read the manual and unfortunatly, I did not record the number of turns on the screws. I messed around with the settings for about half an hour and it just would not idle. I also read that I should start with the idle in most of the way and then adjusting the mixture. I'm t...

Ok, I took off the carb today and cleaned it. When I reinstalled it I made sure the throttle notch was above the throttle stop screw but unfortunately it will not idle AT ALL. In order to get it running, I have to give it a little gas and keep on the gas to keep it running. This will not work very w...

cool! no, it just looks like something you would plug a small sink with. i'll fish it out, take a pic, couldnt hurt...

One more odd thing, I noticed my oil reservoir has this round, plug-like black rubber thing in it free floating. Is that normal?

Well, it looks like a gorgeous day but at the same time its freekin COLD

Sounds like a plan. Since I couldnt get the fuel filter in there I put the O ring in so it wouldnt leak but i still have a sneaking suspicion. Guess I'll see when I ride it today! First day back on the road since the petcock incident and its a gorgeous day here in Seattle!

Its totally ok if it's trashed. In all honesty, I broke one of the valves off into the fuel line when I was taking off the petcock so I had to order a new one and it came with a new filter. :mrgreen: BTW it is now running still with the old filter but I would like to replace it anyways. I also think...
