Re: No power to anything.. lights, horn, turn sig.. Nothing!

When the key is turned "on" and bike is NOT yet running: Rear brake light will be constantly on and will get brighter when either brake is applied. Turn signals will work and blink. Horn will work. The headlight ONLY turns on when the bike is running. So, if you don't have a key for your b...

Re: Getting the Tazland BBK, GEARS, + MLM ran on a dyno

No idea if they come with O-ring. I would assume NOT. Any ring the same size would work, it doesn't need to be "Honda". Just be sure its thick enough to protrude past the profile of the spacer when placed in the groove. Ive learned over the years that not all O-rings are created equal. Dia...

Re: Slimmed down Spree luggage rack

I have an 87' rack if you need one. That way it wont have the turn signals built into it like the 84-86''s do.

Re: Aero 50 - First Build

Have you checked to see if you have spark? How about if you have fuel flowing when vacuum is applied to vac line? If the spark plug's integrity is even in question it should be replaced with a new one. They are only like $3-$4 and can be bought anywhere. Cleaning the carb is not only a task that ope...

Re: Getting the Tazland BBK, GEARS, + MLM ran on a dyno

Explain to me again how youll change the pilot jet in the stock Spree carb? Heres the answer to a Spree oil plug. You have to use washers to hold it down. The old oil pump mounting bolt can hold the washers. In my area, I could only find these in stock at Advance Auto Parts. I tried O'reilly's and N...

Re: Spree has spark, compression, and gas. Still won't start

Be sure the mixture screw is set per the manual...I think its 1 1/2 turns out. Idle screw is set by ear where she purrs nicely. Wear a helmet and watch for traffic!

Re: Slimmed down Spree luggage rack

It really wasn't a planned thing. Just did it on a whim. Sounds like your rack is a great candidate for this mod :smile: !
