Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Greetings: Those filters of yours are The Bomb, Noisy! Lower resistance with light oiling and keep Flash innards squeaky-clean and happy. So fired up Flash last night for a quick after-dark run to the USPO. Maybe a 2-mile run to the post-office. Temperature 66, relative humidity 92%. This is very co...

Greetings:

Thanks Motormike! I just want to see and learn for myself what life is like with Clone carb. Won't ride too far from home though...

Greetings: Garage Therapy Sunday saw the Honda PA carb pulled from Berryman Bath. Getting ready: F9CARBPREP.jpg I had a plastic tub to minimize mess. No carb cleaner on hand, brake parts cleaner had to do. Attention turned immediately to the Pilot orifice - the suspected cause of recent misbehavior....

Greetings:

Huh!! So far none of those issues on this one. Just the different carb cap thing and needing to adjust the throttle cable almost to the limit. I was pretty tame screwing in the Main. When (If...) the weather improves I'll have more to say.

Greetings: For over 4000 miles since MeatBall sent me a 34-mile AF16, all we've done is put premix in the tank and ride it. Lately it had gotten fussier to start, then wouldn't hold idle once it did, and refused throttle unless given quick flicks until the revs came up. I installed Noisy-Guy's aweso...

Greetings: As promised, here's the installation. F9OldNew.jpg If there's a color difference, I can't tell even side by side. The new one had sort of a water-mark in a bubble-wrap pattern that came off with a light rubbing compound treatment. Full-frontal nudity: F9Naked.jpg Sharp eyes will note my a...

Greetings:

Stand by for weekend installation and pics.

For reasons known only to Honda-san, the tank nipple size changed in 1987 across the line-up, including Sprees, Aeros and Elites.

Greetings:

I recommend you check compression before and after a few CCs of oil in the top end.

Greetings:

Almost forgot to thank Mitch for the awesome front cover removal video.His stuff is always clear, succinct and to the point. Sadly, I lack the skills to produce anything like this.

Greetings: I had a chance to perform a more thorough inspection. The vendor is located on Montreal's south shore. F9ScooTunLogo.jpg That looks like one angry bunny. The price was reasonable. F9ScooTunPrice.jpg converted to U.S. Dollars. The Taiwan origin is confirmed. F9ScooTunOrigin3.jpg The look i...

Greetings; It's been months, but ScooterTuning finally emailed me that the SA50 covers are back in stock. :geekdance: The red one I got says Taiwan, the plastic seems of comparable quality to stock, and best of all, it's not repaired by a person without talent. (Me,,,) I'll post more once I get a Ga...
