Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Right, depends on the road surface. Packed dirt/clay shouldn't be bad.

I'd be happy with 45 on flat ground...

I remember that ad running last year; there was a large documentary post on it. There are no tricks; it was all shot at one time, and took days of shooting for everything to work right.

I'm going to try to put it into the public file... if anyone else wants to use it b/f then copy it onto your harddrive and re-upload it.

If you paint it camo I want to see pics. They actually made a front rack for these, you might look into getting/making one as a better front rifle carrier. Only problem I see is that the way a Spree is clutched, it wants to go 15-20 MPH. Under about 15 it doesn't have much torque. But I'm guessing t...

All,

Avatar uploading should work now. Limit is 80x80 or 10K. I changed mine to the one Jim's going to be using.... I'll change it back later.

Email Richardson for a new "correct" one. If the horn pulls more than 3 or 4A, it probably won't work with the Spree. Aftermarket horn that use less than that should.

Poo? No, it looks good. I would add that one cause for no spark is a bad coil or spark plug cap.

If it's from MI it might be an Iowa with swapped sidepanels.

If it runs with the missing o-ring at all, it will run lean and possibly burn a ring after awhile. Mine wouldn't start at all with this part missing. I don't know the dimensions. If you have a caliper and micrometer, or are really good with a scale, you should be able to measure the inner diam of th...

After looking at the engine more closely, it's obvious that the original poster (whoever it was) either didn't know what he was talking about, or was very careless in listing his numbers. You'd smack the piston into the head, even slowly rotated by hand, if you took .060" off the head. And taki...

BTW, a word on head to piston clearance: I have no idea what minimum head to piston clearance can be run. If you talk with guys that work on KZ1000s, which were a roller crank and piston pin engine, the minimum clearance was .040". Any smaller and the piston would smack the head. On mopedarmy.c...

I ended up milling about .017" off the head. This pulled the piston/head clearance down to .028" all the way around. Stock running clearance is .045". All the measurements are +/- .001; the piston top has a grained surface and is hard to get a good measure on. I'm using electrical sol...
