Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Oh and Wheelman thank you for the jetting tip. I think that may be the ticket pending results of my carb adjustment party.

Quick update. I installed the new air filter and noticed a huge improvement! That's what I get for not following direction I guess. At any rate, I'm still tuning the carb. Off the line acceleration is good. I haven't yet tested top end speed as I have one more tank to complete break-in. Didn't get a...

Quick update - So I've been riding the scoot back and forth to the barn with screwdriver in hand thinking I would need to make on the fly adjustments. I made a couple of adjustments early on and for now it seems I have the carb as dialed in as possible given my setup. Since making the needle adjustm...

I did not initially make the airbox modification because the scoot was run in too lean. Now it seems I'm getting adequate fuel and even have potential for a rich situation so I intend to either mod the airbox or go with a free flow filter. It's been unseasonably cold so Inhavent bothered with trying...

Unfortunately it was ridiculously cold today and I had little desire to ride around long enough to warm the motor. Plu...

Doh! Sorry I forgot to mention that. I did rejet with the main from Taz's kit. Plug started out white, but I've now fiddled with the carb enough to where at my last check the plug was grayish with light black coating - though it was slightly wet when pulled. Honestly it's difficult to gauge the plug...

I've been on the receiving end as well and it's no fun. Glad to hear it was recovered.

Thanks for the input. I hadn't considered my part throttle break in as much of a problem. Certainly a good point.

Hi all. I've been lurking and reading for some time and I want to thank all of the great posts and posters because without them I would never have gotten my Spree running. Here's the lowdown: Bought 1984 Spree about 2y ago for my wife to use as a "pit bike" at horse shows. It ran for 3mont...
