Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Just use that to grab the teeth and then put a wrench on the nut to tighten or loosen it. You mean use the strap wrench on the teeth of the front pulley so that isolates the crank from getting shocked by the impact? I don't use the impact to put those nuts on, but I use them to take the nuts off, a...

When you use an impact like this on a pressed together crank, you need to use a strap wrench to hold the flywheel so the impacts are not transferred to the crank itself. http://milo.com/craftsman-strap-wrench-aluminum- Are you guys talking about when removing the nut that holds the front drive face...

DONT USE IT! I've trashed the threads on my crankshaft after only a couple of times! It was a new crankshalft as well.

I now only use a oil fiter grip to hold it and a wrench to get the nut off and tighten.

I've got a simular prob with a 2001 SA50 i bought last year.. The owner put the vin number on the paper wrong and i didnt check it totally before getting the registration sticker for the scooter at the DMV. Later i find out after i get home that the VIN was off my one number. * that i already payed ...

If thats true then he's only got 2 options right. 1. Part it all out and make your money back the best you can. 2. Buy a new frame and replace the stolen frame with it. Now if he went to the DMV and tried to get a license for that bike and the true VIN came up stolen he'd be out a scooter.. if it wa...

No theres only one spot and thats on the frame right below were your left foot sits on the floor board when your on it. Theres a little plastic tab that you pull off to look at it. Maybe he just gave you the wrong title? heh doubt it but who knows. If you cant make it legal and you go to part it out...

Pretty sweet looking Metros.. How fast are they at stock? Take off speed good?

It looks like your 88 is going to require major surgery next spring anyway. Put some stabilizer in the tank, pull the battery and take inside. I agree with former poster that Seafoam is tops. Do same prep for the SR, but running it a mile or two will insure Seafoam is in the carburetor. Your float ...

That didnt go good.. I'm 1 for 2. The newer 2001 Elite SA50 SR was fine.. Took a min or 2 to start and forever to warm up as its cold out today. Ran it around the block a few times. The other one has some serious problems. The 1988 SA50 LX has a oil leak from the bottom screw on the Carb. Cant remem...

Ok, i've got my work cut out for me today. hehe. Wish me luck getting these 2 started! I hope the batteries are not dead already. I just got back from the store and bought the small bottle of Stabil and another container for the new gas. Now i can use the old container to store the old gas for that ...

Thanks! Thats some good news as i bought 2 last summer from harbur freight during one of there sales.

Last question.. do the batteries need to be charged in the house or is cold temps no big deal?

mousewheels.. Is that rated the same as mine?? From 5-125 amps?

EDIT: Same item number so i'll assume its the same one.

Welp no money to buy another charger unless its real cheap. Could i just take the battery out and hope for the best or would it drain?

Thats gona suck to get all the gass out of the tank to fill it with the new stuff. I've done it once before.. just a pain to figure out how to get rid of it.

Thanks for the response.. Stabil? Can i find this anywhere? how much do i add to the tank? I hope i can get them runing after sitting there for so long heh.

So the batter float charger i have is no good as its higher then 2 amps?

I need to store my 2 honda elites this winter and would like to know whats important to do. I've read How to winterize / long term store your scooter from noisebuy but still am confused. I should store it with a full gas tank to prevent rust in the tank correct? Though i've also read that you should...
