Re: '85 Spree randomly died

If you didn't run out of gas, you may have blown the left crankshaft seal out of the engine. It is under the front pulley under the side belt cover. Before you start work on it, open the drain screw at the bottom of the carb and make sure a lot of gas runs out. If it does, then have a look at these ...

I have an entire SB50P, less frame, including working oil pump, that you can have for free if you pick it up

Re: '85 Spree - Injecting gas into carb

All of what motormike said and especially #2. Also, we're assuming that you have the stock air filter box in place with an air filter in it.

Re: 1988 Honda elite e 49 cc

Please go back and read motormike's first reply to you. IMHO, you are trying to make your SB50 idle on the main jet, as your idle jet is still blocked up. Clean the jet out with a "High E" guitar string you can get at any music shop and stop thinking carb cleaner will clean it. Note the ri...

Re: 85 Aero50 fuel line before carb empty overnight

Item 1 is an easy fix. Simply install an M6 helicoil and your repair will be stronger than new. This problem is not uncommon as well

Re: Help me build my 88 Honda elite e please

no and no. For you to get 60-70 mph, follow motormikes advice. Also take a minute to edit your profile to indicate the state where you live, and you may find some local help. Speaking of modifying the AF05E engine, what happened to eclark5483? Haven't heard from him in a couple of years. I hope he d...

No, I don't use any fuel additives. I do use non-eth gasoline, but also, I ride each of my scooters at least once a month.

Re: Clogged Idle Jet

I don't think the pilot jet has a straight hole all the way through it. Buy a "High E" guitar string and cut a piece of it about an inch and a half long and put the piece in a pin vice. Working from the bottom of the jet, spin the pin vice with your fingers while slowly pushing up. Again, ...

Re: The Daily Chat

Here is a photo of my two Navis. The Ranger Green started life as a Grasshopper, as both came in the same box from Honda. My next step is to add the Viper Urban Camo Graphics kit to the Ranger:
