Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I just ordered a set of these, i haven't got them yet but i thought the price was decent. http://www.cbxmanmotorcycles.com/Kenda-K329-Touring-Scooter-Tire-2-50-10.aspx I have those exact tires on my Spree. The seller put new ones on it so luckily I don't need tires for a while yet. And yes, the pri...

Should be able to hook you bystarter to a good 12v battery. Measure it before you hook it up. Hook it up to a battery and let it sit for a while and then check the measurement again. If your plug is fouled it will run like *. Get a new plug or if you have an aircompressor get one of these. http://w...

The only brand they sell in 2.50-10 seems to be Cheng Shin. Is that brand any good?

The air box lid is fine. Looks brand new. No obstruction at all in the two air intake holes. Only thing is, its missing the screw for the airbox lid. All the plastic latches to hold it on are present though. But could that be the cause, simply not having the screw in the lid to help hold it down? On...

Its not a coil, something in the fuel system aint right. Check your bystarter. Your SURE the two holes in the airbox lid are SQUEAKY CLEAN? I though they were suposed to be tiny and round till I cleaned them out. I will double check the air box lid tomorrow. How do I test the bystarter? Someone sai...

Its the carb's fuel drain hose. If you unscrew the bottom screw on the carb, gas will drain out that hose.

Whats the needle clip set at? Is your airbox lid clogged up? How did you clean the jets? Needle clip is set at 4th from the top (factory setting). I made sure of this when I reassembled. The air box lid is fine. Yes, I cleaned the jets. I followed the pictorial guide in the the help section on the ...

wow this happened to me on my elite and come to find out it was the factory air filter box . it was leaking from the round tube coming from the carb to the box. they ware out and dryrot so i put another spare 1 on that i had and it runs tops, full throttle, no3/4 twist and bogg crap anymore these t...

One thing I forgot about is the spark plug. Referring to the plug chart.. http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/722/plugchopku4.jpg ... my plug seems to be coming up as the black sooty result. When I got it, the plug in it was the same. I replaced it with a new NGK one and I've since checked it and it ...

As do I. I don't drink because I feel I'd become an alcoholic due to my obsessive nature. So I won't even TRY any alcoholic drinks. The way I put away soda some days, I know I'd be an alcoholic in no time.

I'm not feeling too well today so I'll get around to trying it in a few days.

Thanks, guess I'll try that tomorrow.

Although, why did you have this problem if your bystarter was working ok? if a bystarter is working correctly why would you have to pull it off and use your finger to adjust it?

As it is right now, it's back to doing what it did a few days ago before I messed with the screws and got it working well but with poor MPG. It runs fine up to 3/4 throttle. At WOT it bogs down to die. SICK OF IT!!!!!!!

Well, I'm sick to death of messing with this crap. I guess I should have left it well enough alone with 55MPG since now as it it's currently (non-)adjusted its back to being about useless to ride. About to throw it in the shed and be done with it. Or sell it. Or pay out the * for the Honda place to ...

That factory setting is just an all around starting point. Every carb is a little different and needs to be adjusted accordingly. Do not adjust the carb until the engine is at operating temperature. You have to play around with the setting until you feel the bike is idling and running full out at i...
