Still no luck tried it one tooth forward then one tooth back off the stock timing mark on the can still the same stock muffler after 3 minutes of running https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f2j7Pjz8P2A/VKnr06ZdonI/AAAAAAAAFGw/ho3X4zNlBDs/w440-h236-p/image-0.jpg The inside of the down pipe is a ashy w...

Greetings: Perhaps I jumped the gun, a little, assuming that a red-hot exhaust pipe is "overheating". My buddies and I used to light cigars off the header pipes of our CT70s all the time during my misspent youth. So what CHTs are you seeing? Is the engine really dangerously hot, or just b...

Greetings: That much change in temperature simply isn't explained by that small change in displacement. Harley-Davidson sells kits to make the 883 into a 1200. The slow jet barely changes, if at all. The main goes up a couple of sizes, and that's it. That's for an increase from 3" to 3.5"...

Any one????

here a pic of it :*:

I did a ohms test and got 43.6 ohm Spec is 50-250 ohms. Make sure the CDI is unplugged for this test. A low ohms reading AND low output volts points to a short in the exciter coil. Shorted turns kill the output voltage, because most energy is wasted within the shorted turns. when i crank over the m...

I think my exciter coil just went out :*: I did a ohms test and got 43.6 ohm and when i crank over the motor I only get 5.36V AC I know thats to low to charge the AC Cdi to make it work. Does any one have a idea what the normal Ac output is for the exciter coil? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

I know its a little late Thanks for your guys help. This is what I have done since I've been gone I rebuilt the carburetor I changed the slow jet to 42 and the main jet to 120 I also drilling out the vacuum port hole on the bottom of the throttle slide to 1/8".The last owner broke off the top p...

Here is a good starting point from Randy P. http://www.ch250.net/techtips/4.htm I have read over the whole site he talks about whats good performance upgrades for the stock motor but nothing about motor that has been bored over :*: There's got to be someone out there that has done this in the past....

I have a Honda Helix CN250 I picked up for a good deal 600.00 it needed a new top end.Now I have the top end all done I bored it 1mm over to 73mm making it a 251cc I know I need to up the jet size but no shop will help because California smog laws :crazy: The stock carb is a 30mm Keihin the jets are...

Greetings: The Sea-Doo reed trick is most welcome - and previously unheard! - information. The Spree is extremely sensitive to air-box vacuum. I've never built one to run, but time and time-again people report a stock Spree won't run at all without tight box connections, a filter element and a lid ...

Hi new to the board I picked up a 1986 Honda Spree for good deal. I went through the motor and transmission put a new top end and rebuilt the carburetor replaced the reeds with carbon fiber ones. It would run at idol but did not feel like it had a lot of power and it would not go at all if the air f...
