Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Yeah, Total cost with shipping was $29, $19 and change and another 9 for shipping. I spoke to him on the phone, he pulled the float and looked inside, said it was like new no rust., My bike was a scooter rental bike, gas in gas cans , in Key West so the chance of water in the tank is high and where ...

No sense in doing anything to it as it would just rust thru in new areas. I got a used tank today on ebay, the seller said it had no rust so hopefully I will get it by thrusday , maybe , I hope Wednesday 2 to 3 day . Keeping fingers crossed.

I have rust in my tank, I am *. I started to clean it, used toilet bowl cleaner got all the rust out quickly and easy BUT I noticed some blisters at the bottom of the tank on the outside. Then noticed it was right were all the rust was on the inside, my tank is shot. I tapped on the blicters and it ...

I have a couple, but I used the Champion equivalant, its the exact same thing, same heat range, same everything even gap. heck it came with the Polini. But, its not running right at top end. Lacks the punch it had. I did a compression check now and hot its 135 which is better than when new so its se...

Thats a good point. Hmmm, gonna chew on it a while. Usually when I do let it off the throttle, I throttle down half way. But that ius sometyhing to consider. Last night I rigged the oil and throttle, so know when the throttle is wide open, the oil is at max and so it the carb, fully open so they bot...

I have yet to really mess with the plugs till now. The B8HS is a cold plug which is right for a fast reving Hi Po engine that will run HOTTER than a stock but during break in, where you run it easy, and with more oil, the engine will not climb up there in the temp so the plug will dissapate heat fas...

Ah I C, well I just threw something ur way, wasn't sure, I don't race these things but I gotta say so far mine's running great. As for 80 MPH?! U gotta be crazy. I did like 60 today and was like screw this on this small bike! I think I am close to my max speed, once I get a new muffler I know I will...

Dac, TRUST me on this one. Wait, save ur money, do whatever u have to do. For $50, extra get the Corsa. Its the FOUNDATION for your bike. Also, I did see a used Corsa for sale in the Hawaii Forum for $60 had low miles and 1 heat seize. I would NOT blink to jump on it, run a hone lightly thru it, bea...

Toast, don't you have 7 to 1 gears on that scoot of yours? My take off is quick like a stock 50cc for the first 3 to 6 feet then it slingshots and you can feel it pull hard thru the fuel guage area where it dissappears. The pull doesn't easy off till the needle is gone. I'm using the stock 9 grams i...

Toast, You have the PG long correct? They only come in clear correct? I wanna order a pipe now but can't decide, I emailed VT see what they say but they sometimes take forever to respond. I am no fan of unpaintedpipes cuz they look crappy when the clear coat burns off. I guess a can of good high tem...

You Sure? I have done some reading, some say 20 to 1 when in doubt, I think its too high, 32 to 1 always works, but can foul plugs and if so they say to rejet carb but 32 to 1 is safest. Now I am also reading a website that says Honda told them 40 to 1 . I figure whatever the stock injector pumps fo...

You know, I really am not sure what is considered hot on these engines. They are air cooled so your probably right in that it will run hotter. The air cooled puddle jumpers run up past that and the turbo's glow so yeah. I don't have a clue what "Normal" is but I WILL find out! As for the o...

Yeah, you know the jet supplied with the Polini Corsa was smaller than a #100 jet. I have looked at my plug, its nice and brown I need another 30 miles before I should be done with my 1 gallon of gas. Then I will see how much oil it used. I filled it right up to the rubber ring around the oil tank n...

Burnt up my Polini? lol, Nah, I am adding extra oil in the fuel tank. I don't run it wide open, at least not much. 1/2 to just over that and my speedo is in the fuel tank area. I don't think the stories of seized cylinders are false now or just attributed to cheaper cylinder assemblies although I st...

An update, I did all my mods and noticed that take off speed from a stand still with the Polini and 8:44 to 1 gears was not as good as when it was stock or with the stock gears and big bore kit. I had ordered a new , well a used (345 miles) rear clutch as mine was about worn, I'd guess 80% worn. Tho...
