Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks for the tips.. compression.. check... getting gas ..check.. can spray starter fluid directly in and still not firing up.. seems impossible. Just ordered a new coil and plug.. thinking maybe spark weak. I'll update my post after the coil and plug installed. It's so nice out.. wanna be cruising...

About 2 hours into a ride yesterday at full throttle on my '86 spree she completely cut out.. coasted to a stop.. few kicks and back up and running but I could tell something was up(when throttling).. kept riding and about a mile later she died again but hasn't started again yet and just tried to no...
