Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

It's been a while since I provided an update. I ordered the new seals just before Christmas and came about 2 weeks after that. It was too cold to be working in the garage so I postponed any repair time. Finally today, I had the time. Pulled off the cover and was surprised to see a double but at the ...

Okay, finally spent the money about bought a compression tester. I'm certain I did it right, but it only read around 35 psi. I know the manual state it needs to be around 115. I'll ask my mechanic neighbor if he has one. I can hold my thumb over the spark plug hole and I feel force pushing it. If th...

I think I already know what the response is going to be. I have an 84 spree. I have spark, compression and fuel. The issue is it won't start, won't even catch when I spray ether into the carb. The scooter didn't come with a carb and I bought one from the Jeff bezos company. This was before I read al...

I figured it out!!!! Watch a YouTube video for generic small engines and they said .010' min gap and a max of .030". The pulse coil was d*** near 1/4" from the magnet on the flywheel. Pushed the "head" of the coil much closer to the flywheel and wouldn't ya know. Got sparky!!! I ...

I currently have a no spark issue. It's an 84 spree nq50. I have another post all about it. I've been chasing my tail checking continuity at every single spot possible. I don't know if this would be an issue, but what is the voltage output when cranking with the starter. I figure it would be variabl...

That's the battery type I have, I didn't know if amperage was a big deal. I've gone through and checked continuity everywhere. Everything is within Honda specs. The cdi unit I have does work, I checked it on the nb50. I even had my mechanic neighbor come and we checked continuity again. He thinks th...

Another quick thought, how important is the battery size? I'm using a 12v3ah battery, because that what Amazon showed for the model. The book shows to use a 12v4ah. I didn't have the book yet when I bought the battery. The 4ah is a little bit taller than the 3ah, will it still fit without any issue?

Found one on eBay for $30 with shipping and I now purchased it. I did come across a seller on Amazon that looks like they're selling original parts and they look used too. Stripping to the frame is something doesn't seem to hard, I already have most the panels off. Just can't figure out around the h...

I just wrote a long reply and I lost it. Taillight is illuminated with I turn the switch to on, the run switch is set to on, the left brake is pulled in and locked. No spark I used the wrong setting to check the exciter coil, it tests to 1800ohm The resistance on the primary coil is about 1ohm and w...

I'm new to the forums and I'm in information overload. I have a 84 spree (nq50) and there's no spark. I bought it a couple weeks ago, I'm probably the 5th or 6th owner. I've had to clean up a bunch of wiring due to previous owners attempt to get it running. I've downloaded the service manual and gon...
