Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

So I replaced the fuel enreachment valve from the Chinese carb. Now it starts great even after a week of sitting. Haven't got the oil to start back yet

It worked before I disconnected it to run a test. It always leaked a little when I removed it from the carb. I’ll try removing the hose from the pump and check for bubbles.

I checked the float bowl to make sure the small bowl for the cold start was clear. It was but I did a full clean anyway. I had a new carb from China that didn’t work worth a crap so I stole the electrics and installed on the Honda carb. It started right up but I can’t get oil to flow. I still have p...

Should I connect a vacuum pump on the line to insure I’m getting oil before making the change.

Thanks I’ll try that. I did soak the carb overnight and used compressed air to blow it clean. Far as the smoking the oil the previous owner gave me was Honda oil and it was almost clear. When I drained the oil in the tank it was dark blue or green. Not what he gave me. I used Lucas two cycle oil tha...

Ok so I mixed the oil and gas and that fixed the smoking but it still is hard to start if it sits for several days. Leaning it to the side helps but it will start but you can’t give it any throttle. It has to be a fix for this. I tried two different carbs and both do it. Can it be a fuel flow issue....

I used a pinch device to close off the oil going to the carb. Mixed up a gallon of fresh gas with oil just to see if it help. If I still have the smoking problem IÔÇÖll remove the pinch clamp and change the gas back out. Not sure I know what youÔÇÖre talking about. I do see a larger hose coming from...

Leaning the scooter to the right caused the float to stick and flood the carb. It did smoke when I drove it. Really bad. IÔÇÖm going to try premiering one take to see if it help.

I didnÔÇÖt ride it or race the engine to see if it smoked. Just let it idle. I did pinch the oil line off once before and it still smoked when I raced the engine. Thinking about disconnecting the oil line and mixing the fuel to see if it stops smoking.

Let the scooter sit for five days and it wouldnÔÇÖt start. Did the lean to the muffler side for 20 sec set it back up straight and it fired up. Had to let it warm up without giving any throttle but it started. So how do I fix this issue. My yellow one with start anytime. And run strong even cold.

I ordered one last night.

I played with the jetting and 80 was the best at WOT. 78 it would run out of gas at top end. The motor sounds strong but when the engine warms up at a dead stop if you go to full throttle it bogs for a second then spools up and gos. Maybe I can put the 78 back and see if it cures the bog.

I have a s model and the air box only had one hole for air. Mine had the second hole opened and the carb has a 80 main jet. The exhaust has been opened also. I have tried putting a fuel shut off in line but that wasnÔÇÖt the problem. I did notice today when the fuel line going to the carb was discon...

Thanks meatball. Do you think a performance variator would help with top speed and if so can you recommend one.

I decided to play around with the springs and rollers on my 2001 elite s. When cold it will pull the front wheel on take off but when it would get warm the stall seem to change. Wide open throttle out the hole it would pull about 10 ft then spool up. I was thinking the spring was bad so I ordered a ...
