Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

There was a guy on eBay selling full Spree decal sets including above for ~$50. Not there anymore I guess.

If you need to make 40-50 to get a minimum order just sell the rest here

These used to be on eBay. Not there anymore?

Looking good! I rebuilt an SE50 in about that rough of shape... came out great when finished.

On this forum every time someone starts talking about making a Spree run better someone says swap the engine. Many people don't want to swap the engine. Please stop that. Yeah, that's not going to happen; it's sort of where the board is. In meantime, I sell a Spree filter which is dual-density foam...

Don't soak foam in gear oil. Use a 10-30w or similar, or a foam filter oil. Note that if it's a Honda OEM filter it will be pre-oiled.

TotalRuckus shut down? That’s too bad

Heh. I'm still on vacation but now accepting orders... which will all go out Monday. Have a good weekend guys.

You want around 0.020" of running clearance, cold. Generally Honda built engines so that if you left out the head gasket (which is 0.20") you'll still have 0.20" running clearance... so with most combinations you'll be safe removing that amount. Direct measurements are always preferre...

Yeah, I'd just keep an eye out for a complete engine or bottom end and swap the entire thing. They're still pop up occasionally.

That's a better solution than welding; at least you can take it apart without a grinder. My concern would be around weakening crank around that spot, but these motors don't generate that much torque in the first place.

Also, take a close look at the Honda switch. Many can be rebuilt if you're careful, take apart and clean contact surfaces.

Pull up the factory wiring diagram from the service manual. Huh, you're right. I just check the online parts fische and can't find the levers anywhere. I did find aftermarket levers, and looks like CRF50 is the same, so assume whole design is probably alike. There's tons of china knockoff of either ...

Well, it runs! And surprisingly, nobody here has posted the answer. I'm currently banging my head against the wall. Here it is: the exhaust was clogged. I've run into that 3x IRL, once on a moped and twice on cars. It's the last thing that gets checked and should be higher on everyone's list I gues...
