Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Took the manifold off, the front reed wasn't seating right.... broke the platic valve taking it apart

Can I fit an Elite reed valve? A quick search didn't result in a ehole valve, just Dio reeds.

I got a decent looking carb for about $24 shipped on eBay. It has one extra nipple, same size as the smaller vacuum line coming off the intake manifold. The original came with a plastic "spacer" between the manifold and the carb, the design of the new carb would need longer bolts so I will...

Check to see if the carb slide is in backwards. This would cause high revvs. shows what I know. I didn't even know it could go in backwards. I will verify. Cleaning the carb sometimes takes a couple tries. The varnish that builds up over time is like dried tree sap and can be stubborn...even when u...

5. Clear fuel feed and return lines. I see fuel sitting in the feed line. None getting to the return that I can see. 6. Nothing is coming out of the carb drain screw when I removed it (the lower most screw) . If nothing is coming out of the drain screw after multiple start attempts...your carb isnt...

Also want to add that this is the only forum I've ever been on that I've gotten more replies than I have posted...Thanks everyone this is a really cool community!

Well back at it, I guess I am just a fair weather scooter enthusiast for now...beautiful Saturday in Tacoma so I busted the Aero out of the shed today. I got it to start for a second when I had it in my basement (killed it instantly as I was indoors) for the winter but haven't been able to replicate...

Have you checked to see if you have spark? How about if you have fuel flowing when vacuum is applied to vac line? If the spark plug's integrity is even in question it should be replaced with a new one. They are only like $3-$4 and can be bought anywhere. Cleaning the carb is not only a task that op...

I did end up having some time today. Yesterday got away from me as Saturdays being an adult often do. I tried kicking it over before having to quit for the day, no luck. -drained and filled gas and oil -took apart carb and cleaned -tried a "less bad" looking spark plug but need a new one -...

Yeah all day scooters tomorrow.

New fluid and carb clean let's see what we get!

I am south, in Tacoma. Don't often venture up to Seattle unless it's for a concert. All good advice. Looking forward to it, tinkering is what it's for. If I spend sizable money I wouldnt rebuild it stock though. It was tagged in '03 and supposedly used as a pit bike since then? It's absolutely filth...

Good advice thanks, it's too sticky. The front has a giant crack on one side otherwise it's decent. I'm really new to all this so I am looking at your suggestions, I'm definitely interested in a bbk rebuild with performance pipe and carb. I just don't want to buy stuff that won't be tunable together...

Hey guys been wanting an Aero or Spree for a long time. Learned what little I know from browsing this board, never worked on a two stroke before. Brought this home today: http://i.imgur.com/jFzcuz4.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/KLmQEgD.jpg?3 Won't kick over. Going to clean the carb, get the old gas out, ...

This is too rad. Im new to scooters and this is definitely my type of build. I'm in Tacoma and would love to check it out sometime.
