Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Or Alabama in general? I would love to get my Elite 50's back to top notch shape and add some performance mods.

From what I can tell, the by starter has an electrical plug? Where does it even plug into? I can't find any evidence of one other than the dirty hole that is on the carb where it is supposed to be. Does either scoot have an advantage over the other in the power train if I was to want to build one up...

Apparently thought moving a lost a few parts of the stock carb. The motor is stock. Is there any non-stock carb/filter that I should look at getting or show I just find a stock replacement carb?

Man. Where to begin. Scooter #1. 1988 Honda Elite 50. My aunt bought this in the early 90s and they never used it too much.  I remember riding it as a kid.  Was up visiting family the other day and remembered it.  My wife has always joked about her having a scooter so I thought what the heck!  W...
