Is it still a barn find if you're technically the one who put it there all those years ago? I'll admit I forgot all about it a few times, and it was surely neglected because of that. And just like all those marketplace ads say, I will also be honest and say it was running and driving just fine when I stuck in there all those years ago. The one thing I am most surprised over, the fact the deep cycle emergency battery I rigged up still had some power in it. That battery was from the recycling center, we use to have them brought in from hospitals as cores. They were primarily used in medical equipment if the power were to fail, and while many of them came in still good , they were past their due date and had to be changed for liability reasons. We use to get pallet loads of these batteries, I'm talking hundreds at a time once a year or so.
Anyway, thank you all for watching, we appreciate each and every one of you guys and your comments.
Also, if anyone has a Honda Elite of any series and size for sale PM me!

I love your dog! Super cool vehicle to be working on, too. That little scoot is amazing. How you fix those things so intuitively is more than amazing. Cheers, Jay! ✌

Had an '86 Sprèe that had been of the road for 15 years. Took some work getting the cab cleaned and clearing out the idle jet but got her running and on the road. Fun little scooter. Just don't get her to far off the shoulder of the road into gravel or you will take a spill. Happened to me one time and tore my leg up when I wiped. Luckily I was wearing a helmet so my face was spared from getting torn up too.

Sweet puppie! Sprees were the cheapest models that Honda sent to North America. The case was full of oil. Reliable better than most new vehicles. Cool, Jay!

The now rare sighting of Flannel man!!!......in his native habitat.....Nice scooter! Almost bought a Spree brand new at Honda dealer mid 80's...I believe $750....Picked a red one out on Saturday afternoon.....Went to work Monday morning to talk to knowledgable coworker who had 2 Yamaha scooters...was going to buy after work. Coworker got hit by a car while riding.....broke leg....out for months.....Thought it was a bad omen...and never bought one...

I almost shut video when you were trying to wheelie it. Thoes parts are more valuable then some of thoes junk cars. I did video on a yamaha of same year and tried to replace carb. iI was 200 used and choke cable was 40. So I rebuilt carb and only changed choke cable. So the video still because you didn't just let it go to parts. Good job Jay

Were the Elites the ones that looked more angular than rounded? I see one around me sometimes that has what looks like a slotted grill up front. It sounds like a 4 stroke though. Is it probably an Elite? That little pup needs its own channel LOL. I"m more of aa large dog fan but any little dog that isn't a yapper is a keeper.

@seanaiello4984 2 жыл бұрын

Yes the Elite is more angular and is a four stroke motor. The Elite 80 was in production for a long time from the 80s until at least the mid 2000s. Back in 84ish you could get an Elite 150 which would be better keeping up with traffic at about 55. the top end on the 80 was about 42mph on flat out ground and 50ish down hill. A little scary going 50 on a smaller size scooter though with those little tires
