Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Finally found the issue.
I was running it without the starter.
I put the old starter back in even though it it doesn't work and the bike runs awesome.
I guess the wiring needs to be complete to make it runs.

No exhaust leaks, Air filter is fine, Plug is OK, Clean fuel.
I will give the carb a good cleaning tonight.
Why does the engine run better when I pull the brake lever ?

I have a 87 spree for 6 months.
Ran great when first purchased, lately its starting to runs like crap.
Funny thing, When I pull in the rear brake lever it runs a little better.
Anybody know why this happens.
