Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

After years of trying to find something to repair that type of plastic, the only thing that has worked successfuly for me is to imbed a stainless steel screen "band-aid" into the plastic with a plastic welder. I have two from harbor freight that work pretty good. This process takes a lot o...

I love it when a 10 cent part solves a LOT of frustration. This forum is a great place to get problems solved! Many have helped me. Happy scootin'

Adjust cable by throttle grip

Unscrew the idle screw until the slide completely blocks the venturi. If it doesn't, find out why. Then screw in until slide starts to rise.

Something is keeping the slide from returning to idle position. Is idle screw(top one) in too far?

Are you sure that you have the right spring in the slide? Sounds like it doesn't have enough tension to return the slide.

If the cable is moving through slide, The slide must be stuck.

My guess is that the slow jet and/or the small hole in the carb bowl where the bystarter tube goes, are still plugged. You will need something smaller than a guitar string to clean. Usually carb cleaner, compressed air, and a fine wire will do it. Sometimes you have to carefully remove the slow jet ...

OK. Tell me where to send it.

Sooooo. Do you just need the clip? I'm sure I have an extra I could send you.

Take the throttle slide out and re install it being careful to line up the slot in the slide with the small peg in the chamber (the slot is toward the back). If it's lined up correctly, the slide will go down properly. That should take care of it.

Right side bearing is generic 6203. Left side bearing you will need to get from Honda. Left side bearing from Honda is 12mm wide. Generic ones are 14mm wide, so won't work.

If rattling noise is there when moving, it's probably in clutch or transmission. If not moving, I'd say crank bearings (left and/or right). With front pulley off (or flywheel) try moving shaft up and down. If either side moves, change bearings.

Had to walk away from it for awhile. Found problem. Bad gas cap!! I tried loosening cap a few times...no difference. When draining the tank to change the petcock, I noticed gas would not drain until the cap was removed completely. Another thing that made it hard to diagnose was that it would not alw...

Maybe I can get a chance to swap out the reeds with another SR. That's a benefit of having 2 of the same scooter. Thanks for the reply.
