Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

If you don't want to restore the '87 because of the body condition it would be best to put the '87 engine on the '84 frame and use the '84 head.

If you doubt that the '87 engine works I would pull it apart and see what the cylinder looks like. The reeds should be interchangeable.

It is a '97 elite S. I have looked under the front cover to examine the key switch and taken the handlebars apart to examine the kill switch. Both look to be proper. Where the wiring harness splits up by the battery is a big mess and that is where I decided to quit. I was going to look at the wiring...

So I got (purchased) this Elite and rebuilt it. After the first start up I realize that I cannot shut it off with the kill switch or key. So my first thought was I hope it isn't stolen. Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone could explain to me where to start in the process of attempting to get one of the...

Whenever I clean/rebuild a carb, I simply press up on the float and blow through the fuel intake tube on the carb. If I can blow through it then I know that the float needle is not seating properly. That is my simple way of testing the seal.

Greetings: 50:1 = 2% Where 98% of the liquid fuel mixture is in fact, Fuel. 40:1 = 2.5% 32:1 = 3% ( yeah, not exact, but you get the idea... :) ) 25:1 = 4% 20:1 = 5% Where 95% of the mixture is Fuel. 10:1 = Congratulations, you now own a Diesel Engine. Example 1: Engine running pure gas, WOT, jetti...

Can you explain the need for a high amount of oil in the fuel? Obviously I understand the basic concept of lubrication, but why do some people run a higher ratio (oil to fuel) than others? Is there a way to determine the right ratio? What are some of the benefits/downfalls or using more/less oil in ...

Is it a big deal if the circlips aren't in facing the side? Which side are they supposed to face?

Hello all, I just rebuilt a '97 elite S .25 over. It is running great. I just putted around on it, never full throttle. I'm running the injector and pre mix. I disconnected the oil line going from the pump to the carb and there was oil coming out very slowly so I'm assuming it is working properly. I...

How are you supposed to put the circlip openings in and what will happen if you don't do it a certain way (up, down, forward or backward). What prep needs to be done to a new piston before installation? I'm curious because I just rebuilt my '97 elite with a .25 over piston. What does everyone recomm...

Gear #4 is actually 12 teeth. This will make that calculation correct. Gear #4 has 13 teeth only on the SE50P model.

How did you calculate those ratios? I can't seem to get them I'm off by a touch.

I'm sorry, but what is effective stroke? I thought that the displacement was dependent on stroke and bore? I understand that by raising the cylinder and head you would be able to fit a larger crank. But I don't understand in your calculation of displacement why you decreased the stroke relative the ...

Does a ministroker require any modifications to the case? How does it increase the stroke if it is the same size as a stock crank?

And how does adding/removing base gaskets to the cylinder increase/decrease stroke?

How long do you leave it on the grill or campfire for?
