Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

32:1 ratio is what these motors like. That works out to 4oz oil per gallon of gas. How much the pump provides is a variable number since it fluctuates with the rpm’s. Whenever an oil pump dies, begins leaking or otherwise needs replacing..most people delete it and just pre-mix their gas since oil pu...

Are you running it with no airbox?

I suggest you get one here: https://www.amazon.com/Spree-Compatible ... ms&sr=1-15

Its the best thing going and comes with a new (and correct) spark plug.

Also, under the petcock is an in-tank screen filter. You can see it by looking into the tank through the top holes. I have never been able to successfully remove one without destroying it. Only attempt to remove it if you have a new one on-hand. Otherwise, leave it in and just flush it out in both d...

If you follow the sending unit wires down, about 1ft from the tank theres bullet connectors that can be pulled apart. I suggest taking the sending unit out instead while you flush the tank. Do this by rotating the golden collar by means of a flathead screwdriver in one of the notches and tapping wit...

Typically you would down-jet for higher elevation and not that much. When I was up about 4000ft I noticed the scoot was a bit of a turd. Acted like the jet was too fat and didnt have any on me. I just raised the needle to the top notch and it was good to go. Changing to a bigger carb might be a bit ...

Needs more air…bigger carb, intake and pod filter. Thats a much bigger slug than stock so it needs a supporting cast. Its breathing through a straw. Also need a temp gauge for tuning to avoid damage.

If my memory serves me, each side of the crank is different sizes. Its been a minute since I’ve done them. I do remember there being a helpful youtube video on how to yank the old ones out using basic tools without scratching up the crank. They make a special tool for pulling them but last I looked ...

Pm sent

If anyone would know the inner workings of those it would be Dave (mousewheels). I can PM you his number if you want.

I had one with 25k on it. Speedo assemblies get easily swapped around so who knows what the scoot really had. I also acquired an 87’ Elite with only 200mi on the odo from the original owner. He said the speedo cable got snagged and ripped out on his boat trailer when he first got it in 1987 and he n...

Go with a Malossi full circle crank. Not the cheaper ones with inserts. Full metal circle is the way. I use the Tusk puller and it makes the job simple. Maybe figuring out how it bent in the first place would prevent a repeat.

Any part of the cvt is more likely than a bent crank. That would be the absolute last thing to suspect.

Cranks dont bend easy. It usually takes a pretty catastrophic seizure or bearing failure of some kind. The only real way to tell is to remove it, put it on V blocks and check for runout. I bent a crank BAD once and the vibration from the imbalance was obvious when riding it. I could also visually se...
