Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

As Wheelman said, a lot of options online. I'd buy a pair of tubes and some motorcycle tire irons and replace them yourself; it's not difficult work. The 2.75 will fit; it gets close to the fork in this case.

So the dot is what designates a JIS screw? Good to know. I've a couple Craftsman JIS drivers that I keep hidden so they aren't used for phillips stuff.

I suspected the Chinese scooters would improve in quality as purchasers got more sophisticated. Honda scooters are still expensive where I am, but I chalk it up to lack of availability.

Don't drill a hole in case. Remove oil pump and flip the motor. This only happens with engines left for storage a long time; it's unlikely to repeat.

Motor oil by itself wouldn't likely kill the engine in near term. There's an article in the wiki about barn-find scooters; read that for my thoughts on how to determine what's wrong and what it needs. http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5/Getting_a_Dead_Scooter_Back_on_the_Road And yes, all mystery ...

If vacuum is disconnected and plugged off the petcock is likely faulty. I'd replace it; new ones are <$10 on Ebay last I checked.

Let's you turn the Wanted/For Sale section into a bigger commerce then what it is. That part of the board is one of the biggest source of issues here... I can't imagine what it would be like with un-registered members. I like the idea of a guest place to ask Q's. I could actually set it to self-del...

Ah, you're saying we should also allow guest posting here? Having anon users is really opening the board up for a lot of randomness... we up for that?

I don't understand how spammers can figure out the Google one but can't figure out above... probably some automation thing. I'm range banning the offending countries, will look into this in next week or so. I've been slammed recently with work so I've not been active on board. Email me if we have an...

Think that'll be better than the current Google image version we're using now?

Try it now...

Fuel filters on scooters can cause a whole host of issues. There's one in the tank already and you're best just letting it do it's job.

Performance is usually a bit snappier, and they're a replacement for worn steel leaves.
