Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I finally got LED blinkers working on the rear of the old spree . My question is how hot do they resistors get.? I got the tiny aluminum fin ones that i screwed underneath the frame away from anything. When I do the front I wanna know how to safely place the resistors … thanks Let's stay on topic h...

Carb models with O-Rings or washers on the adjustment screws In creating the table in the last post, it was noticed only 3 models had o-rings on the mixture screw Note the p/n between Item 5 'mixture screw' is same between 88-93 SA50 vs 94-01 SA50. The parts fiche may have omitted the washer. The 9...

Carb Mixture Screw and Idle Screws
Mixture screws in general seem to be no longer available
Idle Speed screws can be found

Most carbs adjustment screws interchange with other models.

Schematic
Here is a schematic traced from the PCB.

I bought a cheap LED flasher with a variable blink rate - one of those orange direct from China eBay jobs What I found was that the LEDs never went out completely - the blink was bright, then a weak glow instead of off. This was only fixed by adding a resistor parallel to the LED which kind of nega...

Pros and Cons Low cost, small, flashes *my* Led loads. Design and construction looks adequate. Reverse polarity connection tolerant Met low and high current spec Does not make an audible sound Starts in the lamp off delay mode Check seller feedback and comments how it has worked for others LED inst...

The Flasher switching device is a power MOSFET which will handle LEDs easily as well as the Incandescent lamps in our scooters. There is no heat sink required at the 10 amp max the company lists. As noted with the starter motor, the device stays cool to the touch. Some of the power MOSFET specs are ...

Teardown
The flasher is easy to open, there is no potting, glue or plastic welding on the case.

Inside is a single sided surface mount PCB.

Testing The flasher was tested with 4 loads Minium Load 500ohms + 2 LEDs in parallel - Approximately 0.02A to test the MFG's low end spec 1 Turn signal LED - 1 50 watt equivalent white LED lamp. It has an internal regulating supply so is a more complex load 1 Spree/Elite headlamp with both filament...

One issue when converting our scooters to LED turn signals, is the OEM flasher does not flash with the low current load of LEDs. I converted about 10 yrs ago, and used an automotive style low load flasher, as it was available and lower cost. Today, electronic LED flashers can be bought for less than...

What model and year is your scooter? Honda used different thread sizes and pitch over the years covered on this board.

I just got delivery of one similar to that - case is the same.

Looking good - will post a new thread on LED flashers with a teardown and test of the flasher.

yeah i dont mind spending a extra 10$ to be able to get it locally same day will try out the EP50...

Great - and it would make a killer source of a blinker if you need to grab it for your 4 wheeled vehicles... G'luck
