Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Carbs do NOT run out of fuel at part throttle, they run out of fuel at WOT. If they run out a part throttle you have NO chance of ever seeing WOT. I would suspect a heat related ignition issue first. Have you check for spark right after it dies? no i have not when it happens im always stuck on road...

when im running around 35-40 mph for a while my scoot just turns off??? only think i can think of is the carbs running out of gas... ill pull over for a couple minutes, then be back on my way.. i am using the oil tank for extra gas tank and that does not have a petcock... hopefully someone can help ...

does any one have any info on the technigas next r pipe??? i found one for a good price, but was wondering if its big enough for a taiwan 50mm bbk, mini stroker, 28mm oko carb, ct intake, right now im have 28mm yms v8 pipe (black n stainless) technigas's web site isnt much help.. so any info would b...

ok thanks baka... getting a mini stroker from limp now so ill have it apart anyways....

compression is only 118psi? did the engine die at any point when you rode it? 118psi is low for the 50mm bore never died i had a huge loss in power ounce, when the oil plug blew out of case... would that have messed anything up?? i turned it off as soon as i felt loss in power.... it was a matter o...

ill try a new air filter and down jetting the main, its not as slow as stock, but like i said my buddies with basically only bbk are faster than me off the line till about 40-45, then i finally start to catch up to them. then at that point it just wants to keep going... im only 175lbs so its not lik...

well tryed changing weights... 8.5 better than 9's, but not that great of a improvement... 8's engine revs up to high... no vacuum leaks, and compression is 118. checked head bolts all torqued to 12... heres my set up again i have a elite with 50mm bbk, oko vari, sef ramp plate, 28mm oko carb (50 pi...

thanks wheelman111 if you say 8 is good in texas, then should be no problem here in illinois...

The rubber mount between carb and manifold.

thanks

Yeah that will work. I would up that pilot to a 52 or 55. Try the 52 first. The 50 is to small for the 28mm carb. Check to see if you have an exhaust or intake leak. A 150 main jet is really big. Usually the exhaust flange is where is it leaks. Double check the head bolts and the intake manifold bo...

i never tryed 2-2-2, but wondered... now i know thanks for the help... does the spring set up sound about right for what im running though??? i kinda took a shot in the dark on that when i ordered them....

Change your weights. i tryed to go lighter on my weights and the rpms where way to high, i flew off the line then at about 10 mph, then the r's would just scream and not really take me anywhere.... so i figured the 9's where the best... How light did you go on the rollers? i went with 7.5's cause m...

Ive seen a lot of threads saying about VT Cycles being closed... I just got off the phone with Steve from VT, they are still in business... He said they are a little short handed, and the best way to get a hold of him is by email at vtcycles@gmail.com... Just thought i should clear this up for some ...
