Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Real nice rack there, looks secure. :thumbwink: Plenty of questions: 1) I can see the receiver part, but how do the outriggers tie into your Jeep? Looks clean! I tapped holes in the Curt hitch to mount the stabilizer bars. http://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=477&pictureid=2813 ...

Final shots of the hauler ready for the trip to the beach! Decided to keep it simple. Oh, the things you can do with 1/2" EMT and Velcro. http://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=477&pictureid=2962 http://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=477&pictureid=2963 http:...

This is what I came up with. Fabricated it from some scraps. Tested on a mountain bike trip and as soon as I adjust it for the Spree I'll post pics. So far so good. Thanks guys for the suggestions and ideas.

7 months later and still going strong. Custom Carb Insulator is holding up rather well.

I have seen most of the commercial hitch carriers for motorcycles and wheelchairs but they are all universal application, too large and therefore contain many parts for trying to cover all applications. Has anyone fabricated a receiver hitch carrier specific for a Spree? Did a forum search but nothi...

Connect the oil line briefly from your reservoir straight to the manifold fitting (bypassing the pump) and fire it up. You should have a very small amount of oil dripping out of the pump line, you disconnected from the manifold to do this, as the bike runs. I'm guessing your pump is good. You may h...

I convert and upload all my pics right from my HD and resize them using Irfanview (freeware). Sounds like you have a conversion issue and yes jpeg is the flavor of choice.

You stated that you "blew" into the vacuum line from the petcock when you should have been "sucking" to create vacuum. Loosen the carb bowl drain screw while you are "sucking" and see if you get a steady stream of fuel draining out. I'm guessing you have a vacuum issue ...

I had same prob and thought it was the bystarter or carb. Turned out to be a vacuum leak. These small engines need all the vacuum they can get to draw the fuel in. I'm running at a lowly 100psi and she now starts on the third or fourth kick, cold. Also sounds like someone has put the wrong size O-r...

It got down to 70 degrees F here yesterday and it hit on the first kick! (it went brrrrrrrrr)

I've had my pump apart several times, no prob ('86 NQ50). Your oil pump may not be bad but may need proper priming. Here is the China Freight pump I use to prime mine. Placed teflon tape on the spout fittings and pumped that puppy!

I run a bone-stock, clipped (sans turn signals, mirrors), black, 1986 NQ50. What's the difference between the NQ50 and the NQ50D? Cosmetics maybe?
