Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Wish I could say got it running like a top, but can't. Tried cleaning the carb again, tried spraying premix directly, and even starter fluid but no cigar, just an occasional backfire.
Had to move on. Thanks again for the help guys.
John if you see this, good luck, and safe riding.

Thanks for info. My gasket looks like this ....

Filled with PB Blaster and got lucky....

Anxious to just try it at this point but my exhaust gasket has no outer material like the one in noiseguys gasket kit.

Maybe I'll run the meatball premix first method to make sure oil pump is primed. And just suck on petcock vacumn to fill carb. It's not been rebuilt so oil mix should be?

Drained. Everything cleaned. Left cylinder etc alone Never touched oil pump or intake manifold. Baked exhaust in chimenea and hope to reuse gasket. 3 small holes in pipe, 2 in fin. Wrap it? Searching for best first start attempt procedure. Have a spray bottle Photos.. https://i.postimg.cc/155wBnMF/I...

That would have been about 3 years worth. Here is all that was left after the last tip-over.. photo

Found my '84 was hydro-locked. Am draining per meatballs post. It's working.

Thanks for that. I'm on it.

Or maybe meatballs via oil pump?

I'll take eclark5483s advice from another post

Nailed it for me. Any more advice for draining crankcase? I could turn it upside down or remove engine. It's half apart now. Could take the intake out.

I'm so knowledgable now after reading the wiki I'll even add that since you mention it the 2 from the petcock serve to get Fuel to the carb. The lower thinner hose draws vacuum which allows the upper thicker hose to deliver the fuel via the design of the petcock.

Mind you, my carb is still attached to the intake so I am referencing those hoses as well.
