Re: Installing the head on a Spree
I am pretty sure that the head is also bored. The first time I ordered the big bore kit it came with a letter saying that the head had to be "milled" (whatever that means). I took it to a garage and one of the mechanics said that he had the machines at home to do it. The next day he brough...

Installing the head on a Spree
Hello, I just finished installing a big bore kit on my 1985 Honda Spree (for the third time) and am not sure if I am putting the head on correctly. There is one side that is flush with the cylinder and another side of the head that extends beyond the cylinder. I think that the longer part (that exte...

Bigger jet needed in modified Spree??
Hello, I recently bought a "44mm big bore" kit for my Spree and it came with a new jet. When I installed it, the engine would not accelerate. I put in my old jet and the Spree runs fine. A friend of mine said that even though it runs fine I could be damaging the engine. I was wondering if ...

Any Spree repair shops in the Troy, MI area???
Hello, Does anyone know of a repair shop in the Troy, MI area? I cannot figure out how to get the piston clips back on and, after wasting 2 days trying, I'm not going to waste my time with this garbage any longer. With all the technology we have these days, I cannot believe that there is not an easi...

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having repairing my 85 Honda Spree. I recently purchased something called a "44 mm big bore kit" on ebay and am trying to install it. I have no idea how the piston clips could possibly fit on the circles located on the sides of the ...

I took the engine apart and nothing really stuck out to me as an obvious problem (of course I don't really know what it is suppose to look like). There was a huge scratch on the piston and small pieces of metal or something on the head. The rings looked fine to me so I don't know where the metal pie...

How do you know if the piston rings are bad (Spree)?
Hello, I was wondering what the signs are of bad piston rings. I was running my Spree at full throttle when there was a loud backfire and a very strange smell. Although it turns over, it won't come close to starting. I checked and it is getting a spark and I feel air coming out of the muffler. The s...

The newest problem with it is that it keeps chewing up belts. It goes 20 mph if I'm lucky and sounds like its in neutral. Yesterday I drove 60 miles to buy a brand new belt and it snapped after 1 mile. The inside drive pulley is kinda worn (not sure if this is what is causing it). I recently put on ...

Any lubricants in the drive belt compartment (Spree)?
I am replacing my drive belt on an 85 Spree and am not sure if I need to put any oil/lubricant on the parts. It was extremely filthy so I cleaned everything out with brake fluid. Now all the parts are completely dry. Am I suppose to lubricate the starter gears with anything (By starter gears I mean ...

Honda spree clutch shoes installation
Hello, I was wondering if someone out there can help me figure out how to install new clutch shoes on my 1985 Spree. In the manual, it calls for some sort of clutch compressor tool. Has anyone changed the clutch shoes without this tool. I went to Murrays and they had no idea what I was talking about...
