Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks for the help. I will check and or replace them as necessary.

I recently brought a 86 Elite SB50P back from the dead. Runs great until about 23-25 mph under full throttle, it seems like it has a rev limiter. Pulls fine wide open until then. When it starts to miss fire, if I let off the throttle a little bit it clears up. New coil and plug. Do these have a rev ...

Well, not necessarily. Once the engine is shut off, the vacuum goes away, thus closing the petcock. The petcock would not have to have a built in bleed. That's why I was asking if the petcock has a built in bleed or should it hold vacuum without bleeding off. Thanks.

I guess next thing is to get a air filter assembly! One other question, should the fuel valve bleed off a small amount of vacuum? When testing it with my vacuum pump, the valve works but slowly bleeds down when I stop pulling vacuum on it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have done that with pouring in a small amount of gas and it will run for a short time and then die. I read somewhere on here that the air filter assembly has to be on or it will be very lean. Have you experienced that? There isn't an air filter on this scooter. Thanks ...

Can bad crank seals cause extremely lean condition? Scooter sat for awhile. Cleaned carb. Fresh fuel. It will start with a small squirt of carb cleaner, then leans out and will die. Fuel bowl has fuel. Somewhat new to 2 strokes, so asking for help. Thanks
