Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Looks like a pile of stolen parts to me !

So - I went ahead and cut open the exhaust . I tried to post Pic's but were to large , untill i can figure out how to make smaller I can email them to you . I started by first cutting off the end thinking I could clean it out that way ! Don't do it - it was a dead end . Next I cut out a large sectio...

Yes that's the one Parking Lock shaft . Because I can not find a part number, I hope it will come out in one piece to make it easer to find a replacement .

A new filter element can be had at Cheap Cycle. com for $7.50 . Are you rideing up hill all the way ?

Has anyone replaced the shift shaft seal without taking the trans. apart ? Or any tricks to stop the leak ?

I'm just trying to finish a 86- Gyro s - 4000. mi restore . The last thing is a pluged muffler . First Q: Are Gyro mufflers real heavy ? I've already tried tapping with a hammer - to useing an air chisel w/ blunt end against a piece of 3/8" flat stock . That neted a small nut can of carbon chun...

Exhaust starting to plug with carbon ?

Another thing you might want to check is . Right now I have 2- scooters ( 1970 z50 mini-trail & 86 Gyro s) with fuel caps that will not vent . Both would run fine and then just stop like they ran out gas ! Thats because they were . I checked them by opening the fuel valve and letting the gas go ...

Well - After a week and a half at the dealer, the 85 Spree has 123psi of compession and a Bent Crank ! Service Mgr. said the wobbel in the crank was letting air past the crank seal . No new parts from Honda to repair it . He also went on to say in the day they sold more Spree's than any other dealer...

Was just told my 85 Spree has a bent crank ! ( Please no * jokes ! ) Beside a piston sieze what would cause it ?

The Spree is at the dealer right now . After talking to the service manager I'm wondering if they can fix it ? Service Mgr. " Well its an 85 - Honda doesn't make parts for it any more " ! So if it ends up being a stator it doesn't sound like they will repair with aftermarket parts or used ...

So - I replaced the CDI and coil and had no luck . What next the stator ? The new CDI has a LED that should light every time it fires . No light but still has a weak spark . Has anyone else ever had to replace a stator ?

So back in the 60's early 70's of snowmobile riding in northern Michigan ,long before oil injection you could drive your sled to the gas station and they had pre-mixed gas at the pumps ! T

keahi - Read the thread Spree85 timing issue . Superbee and I had the same issues did every thing in the book with no luck ! He installed a new CDI and that fixed his problem . I just recieved mine in the mail and can not work on it till next week . If that fixes mine also then we'll need to wright ...

Superbee : Thats good news because I went ahead and ordered one from the same place as you . It just came in the mail today . Bad news is my Spree is 50 mi. away and I'm not going back till later next week. If the new CDI and coil fixes mine they will have to do a new chapter in Wikspreedia !
