Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I always used premium gas because I never knew what the scooter needed so I figured better safe than sorry. My neighbor has machinery that will allow me to mill the head true, :D . The bottom end of the motor went bad so now im rebuilding it. And to reference "circusracer". Your right the...

Ebay is full of them.

I think 45 is wishful thinking. I bet more around 41ish.

Mines an 86 with 4300 miles on it. My moms boss gave it to her and she gave it to me, so I nick named it the Honda free. All I had to do was rebuild it. I flooded the motor with the 68 jet, I'll try it again after I port it. Thats good that you have the 1986, that means you should have the dome sty...

Dude, I have three sprees and I have done as much as possible and the gains are very small. Make sure you have the #68 jet in the carb after all your changes. What year is your Spree?

what Luny said, but some people (including myself) have had trouble with the large, clear pleated paper type filters. I think these are made for use with a fuel pump and after a while won't allow enough gas to get through. Right now I've got a red briggs and stratton lawn mower "screen" t...

Nope no clear, my daughter wanted the flat black rat look.

I went to AutoZone and picked up the small brake hone. I have done four cylinders with the same stones. Put the hone in a cordless drill and have at it. I get a nice cross hatch every time.

First I used goo gone on the decals, then I sanded with some 200 grit to smooth out the rough areas. Then I scuffed up everything with some brown scotch brite, next I wiped it clean with some paint thinner. Sprayed a light coat of primer, then hit it the flat black. Now my son wants the other painte...

how did you get 'er going 37mph?...just the basic mods? I bought a 1987 engine off ebay, and did all the mods listed in my sig. Im 200#'s and I can run 35 on it with nice acceleration. I have not modded the pulley or put on a wider belt, but the motor does not seem rpm limited to me on none of my S...

HMMMMMMMM, seems like KeithW added a 3mm bore kit to his Spree and noticed no gains in performance. He did notice a nasty vibration due to the much heavier piston.

Oh no! that means you are as slow a typer as I am. LOL

Time for the torches! (or a big press)

Time to replace the rings, and a cylinder hone job.
