Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

The gap is probably that big from pulling them off the piston after it got chunked. And bear what are forums for if we aren't supposed to ask questions?

Alright well the end gap could be the problem I put them on exactly how the manual said being as careful as I could to not stretch them. I don't have the head matched but I was running two base gaskets which tazland said should have zero issues,

Yeah figured bear would say something like that every post i see from him is bashing other people. Heh cool

I measure .8 of a centimeter i dont have anything to get more accurate with.

Thanks for all the info guys. I build rotary motors so im not all that intelligent with piston motors. But i still dont have all the info i need to try and rebuild again. I attached a couple more photos there was no breakaway from the rings they are still all fine but whats even weirder is there is ...

It almost looks like the ports on the side aren't cut the best and has metal bits pertruding out slightly and could be catching the rings. Does that sound possible?

I have bought new kits and used the new piston and bore each time. Both piston rings were installed the same way.

I did line them up in the ring lands to the ring pins but basically i installed them completely upside down?

How was it installed wrong how should it have been installed

I know right. Wheres the best place to find dio motors just check local stuff?

Good input but I'm struggling to find parts for it being it's so old

Okay i bought an 87 spree got it took it apart piston and cylinder was gashed so time to rebuild. Bought one of taaz 48mm big bore kits and it continues to blow up this is now the 3rd kit with not even 20 miles on it everyone blew up with same gash. Both cir clips are installed correctly and were in...

Thanks for the info 32 meaning ounces per gallon? And when I put the big bore kit on should I put some oil under the piston it's completely dry it hasn't been started in awhile?

My oil pump stopped working I tried searching but can't find much I suck at finding key words. I have a 48 mm big bore kit how much should I use per gallon of gas and should i start getting highest grade gas to try and keep the octane up from the oil? Also how does oil get under the piston of I'm pr...

I just bought the 48mm big bore kit from taz and after stumbling upon this it makes me question if I should switch
to the 44mm cause I have stock carb and exhaust

I'm getting the 48 mm kit from chop chop on ebay. 1. What's the best way to cap it should i just use the penny trick? 2. And is that all in have to do just replace where the pump went? 3. Also what do I do about the oil inlet to the intake? 4. What's good mixture rate for the 2 cycle? 5. I don't rea...
