Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

New petcock is required, the non replaceable diaphragm is torn. Replace fuel and vacuum lines while you're at it, it doesn't hurt to drop the carb bowl and see how things look.

If you are worried about running out of gas, just do what one guy on here(dont remember who) said, fill a cheap hip flask with gasoline, maybe paint it red to comply with DOT regs. I've done that before (not sure if I am the original poster though). Forget the DOT regs, just paint it red so the cop...

I dunno about yours but the torch tip cleaner set I have is far to large to work on idle jets found on full size bikes, let alone a 50. If you used one you may have reamed out the idle jet WAY too rich. We are talking about a precise hole maybe .005" across.

Fill the tube with carb cleaner, let it soak for hours, then pluck a single wire from a fine wire brush, use it to clear the jet. Remember the jet-carb hole is offset so odds are it will never go all the way through, but should pass fluid.

Try local hardware store, the one as old as your town.

Sounds like you might have toasted the starter earlier. How long were you cranking at a time? How long of a break did you give it? The automobile self starter became possible when engineers realized it only needed a very short duty cycle(or in other words, starters are only meant to crank a good 2 m...

Not a gyro, no pivoting rear(that I can see), just a trike.

I have cleaned fouled plugs by getting em red hot and letting them cool slowly, they rarely last for long though. It's easier and far more reliable to buy a new one.
