Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Details: A few weeks ago my girlfriend's Razz wasn't running so well. I took a look at it and the airbox was dangling, attached to the carb by only the rubber connector and being held on by the plastic body pieces. I'm assuming someone removed the screws because this Razz has ran like a champ for a ...

A little update: Tried starting it that night after I got back home, wouldn't start. Had to work the next two days and the weather was bad so I didn't take a look at the Elite. Went to Autozone, got the compression checker. Came back, tried starting it on a whim, and it fired right up. Let it run fo...

I'll have to check when I get home to determine if there's a spark. I have no way to check compression. I've got a very limited set of tools now that I've moved from a house back into an apartment.

Starter just continually tries to start the engine but it never starts. Kickstart does the same, it sounds like its a normal kickstart motion without the engine starting afterward.

So basically I'm screwed?

Picked up a 99 Elite this weekend. Has a 70cc big bore on it. Ran phenomenally, no issues whatsoever. It's a practically new setup, maybe 60-70 miles on it so far. Started it up this morning, took off and at 15mph it completely shut off and wouldn't start back up. Just stalled right there when I was...

Wow that needs a back tire.

I wanted to post something about my moped in case anyone happened to be browsing the net and finds a similar one pop up for sale. (doubtful but I can only hope.) Anyway I was an owner of an 88 Elite E, came to this forum and realized it wasn't exactly modifiable and I ended up finding a great deal o...

Success! I basically told the lady she was an idiot and was clueless, and now I have a fresh registration. Thanks for the help everyone.

So for clarity, all I need on the Bill of Sale is the date, the seller's name, my name, the date, the VIN number, motor size, top speed and how much I paid for it. The crappy thing is this guy was super far away, and the top speed, motor size stuff wasn't on there in the first place. She mentioned I...

Thanks for the response. Any other advice?

Michigan. Sorry I figured since the title of the thread was Michigan Registration it was obvious it was in Michigan. I'll edit the post!

I went to the Michigan secretary of state with a bill of sale, and was not granted a moped registration. The bill of sale states the time, place, vin #, price, and our signatures, but I was told unless it had the registration number, I could not get registration in my name without a title. Is this a...

Hey everyone. Nice forum. I've been searching and I've come to think that I may be screwed when it comes to upgrades. I purchased a 1988 Honda Elite E, and really would like it to go faster than 27mph. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is the SB50 model, at least from what I put together here, and...
