Re: Not getting fuel help!

You’ve confirmed you have fuel flow when you kick it while the fuel line is disconnected but when the fuel line is connected to the carb and you kick it a bunch…the bowl is still empty? :crazy:

Re: Not getting fuel help!

Try to start it while shooting a couple blasts of starting fluid into the carb at the airbox connection. If it fires but immediately dies..that narrows it down. Ive never seen a float needle stuck in the seat unless the bike has been sitting for 10yrs but its possible. It could also be a plugged idl...

Re: 2001 Honda Elite S (De-restricted): Aftermarket Carb Suggestions Anyone?

If you plan on keeping the stock bore, keep the stock carb. The bystarter is a neat feature and Keihin is good quality. Youd be hard pressed to find anything that fits as good and matches up with the stock bore as well. Mess with main jets or needles if you need to but keep it. Clean the shít out of...

Re: 87 Elite Battery suggestions

Try to tighten the rear brake cable adjustment screw a few clicks. Just dont over-tighten and create drag. Inspect brake shoes and replace if needed. Shoes are cheap compared to buying a new wheel.

This

Remove the bell and use a flathead screwdriver to “slightly” pry up on each clutch shoe. Just enough to break it free from stuck and not over stretch the spring. Good idea to replace the springs if they look rusted together.

Re: 87 Elite Battery suggestions

Cheaper the better. The ones off ebay for less than $20 last me 3-4yrs with no issues. Would probably last longer if put em on a tender during winter months but I dont.

Re: 1994 Honda SR Elite

Gear oil should be changed but its not your problem. The issue likely lies under the kickstart covers. Im thinking belt or clutch.

Re: Electronic conversion for a Spree anyone?

The cost and time invested makes it hard to justify. Theres plenty of e-scoots on the market to choose from. Likely cheaper than a conversion would cost. Save yourself the headache and buy a turnkey”ready to ride” scoot. Fyi: I just upgraded the battery on my e-bike to a 52v 30ah and it was $799. Wi...

Re: Carb upgrade?

The “P” was the restricted version. The non-P had a different exhaust, taller trans gears, and a different ramp plate. The carbs were the same except for a slightly bigger main jet. The speedo also showed up to 45 but could never quite get there in stock form without a big hill or gale force backwin...

Re: Dio af18 project🔥

It restricts belt movement to lower top speeds, you will want to remove it. Thanks♥️ Yes, it restricts top speed and should be removed. It also keeps the grease inside from escaping and getting slung all over the place. Be sure to clean all the grease out with brakleen or something before running i...

Re: 1994 Honda SR Elite

No drain plug. Just need to disconnect the oil line to drain. Theres a small screen filter inside the rubber boot at the tank connection that should be cleaned while you're in there.

Re: Spree won't do a thing after carb clean

Pay attention to “how” it dies. Does it sound like its sputtering and bogging before it quits? Like getting flogged with excess fuel?…or does it just suddenly die like you just hit the kill button? Next ride, go with the body panels off and bring a tool to remove the spark plug and gloves (hot motor...

Re: Spree won't do a thing after carb clean

Try a different CDI. When they go wonky they do weird things. Stay away from the cheap ebay “racing” CDI’s. Get a nice used OEM one and try it. I have a box full of them somewhere in storage. If it wasnt buried in 1 of 100 bins I would just give you one.

Re: Spree won't do a thing after carb clean

Symptoms dont sound electrical but I wouldnt rule anything out until its running right. Fuel, fire and air…one of those isnt happy. What main jet is in there? I dont remember stock Spree size but I recall it being tiny…like 68 or something. Been a long time since I messed with the Spree motor.
