Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

go to your local rite-aid or luckys. most grocery stores have oven cleaner which has lye in it and is perfect for the application.

mine tops out at 29mph. this sucks.

As far as engine oil goes, has anybody tried using the Honda HP2 oil?

What did you use to secure it? I am using zipties right now but I only got some small ones. One already snapped.

How would I clean the fuel valve?

it was cocoa brown. nothing bad and nothing changed after I put in the new one.

Got a new plug today. Didn't change anything but when it's warm out, I get 29mph sometimes.

What else can I do?

Don't think their is. It's limited by the gear/pulley.

Just sprayed oven cleaner inside the exhaust and let it sit for an hour after almost topping it all off.

and it just runs consistently at 27mph now, 28mph once I get it warmed up.

I'm going to grab a plug tomorrow from the shop.

I know I shouldn't be asking this but it's just really hard to find guides for stuff like this.

What is a plug chop? What do I need to do it and How do I do one?

second, Where can I pick up a bigger main jet and how much would it be? also, will this decrease my gas mileage?

It just seems like every time I hit 27mph, it backs down to 25mph and then back up to 27mph. This happens over and over no matter what sort of road I am on.

So, now it's running at 25mph once it warms up. Cleaned up the Carburetor and found a tiny bit of dirt in the main jet. After that, just drilled through one of the baffles in the exhaust. Cleaned out the dirt from the jet and it went up to 27mph. Haven't gotten onto a straight but tonight I will try...

Cleaned the carb 4 times now and it's still exactly the same.

So I just bought a Honda Spree off a friend and it's really nice and all but he warned me about a potential problem with the speed around 27mph. A friend of ours was riding it and dropped it(odd, I know), and since then, every time it goes up to 27mph, it feels like the engine is just giving out for...
