Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

Castor 927 arrived today

Re: first dio

well done looks good. I see you have the same little pin holes in the aluminum as I had. they had me worried at first :smile: not sure what else you can or should do. Yeah the pin holes are just casting marks I think. I was looking at them at first to. I am still not sure on what size carb. Thanks ...

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

before you start leaning out the main jet, what do you have the needle setting at and air fuel screw setting at? also what airfilter are you using? Needle setting is one notch up from middle A/F i'm unsure of. I just turned the idle speed way up and turned the a/f screw in and out til it was runnin...

Re: 72cc Polini kit.. Suggestions on Carb and Intake?

Get the 21mm OKO and CT Manifold. Also get a roller kit of assorted weights for your variator. And your also going to want to get an idle jet kit and the small main jet kit from treatland as well. :thumbsup: The 21mm works great when you get it going. I've got one on my corsa, so if you do decide to...

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

Got a 100 from Honda today

Lots better than the 103, however still very slightly rich. I believe a 98 will be the ticket! :thumbsup:

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

Klotz r50 or benol is a good one too or any oil that has castor oil in it. That gn2 is to thin Umm so the castor 927 is thicker and this will make the engine run leaner or richer with the same jets compared to the GN2? Cause right past 1/2 throttle it starts bogging a tad. Its worse with the 105 vs...

Re: Wanna See What A Real Spree Looks Like?

Even if you leave the plastics off, just a couple rattle-can coats of matte or gloss black makes it look a heck of a lot cleaner :thumbsup:

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

Alright, thanks baka. I'll try to find some around here. I dont want to have to order it and wait for a week to get it.

Right now i'm running Honda GN2. If i cant find the castor stuff i'll try some of the race oil Garvis Honda has on their shelf instead

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

If your having problems with partial throttle then try adjusting the needle setting before messing with the jet. I wish i could. When the clip is on the middle setting it bogs and loses power right at 30-35. It loves the clip being 1 up from the middle, i just need to get the temps down to a reason...

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

I like the temps better with the 105, although very mild signs of bogging and loss of power happen around 1/2 throttle once again. Back to the 103 :sad:

I dont like the temps with it, so im gonna bump the pilot up to a 45 to see if that'll cool it off a bit more

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

I put the 42 back in, but haven't gotten the chance to see if it fixes the problem. I was scared off by the cylinder heads temps reading over 330F at around 35 :surprise:

Going to try the 105 main and see what happens

Re: Sprelite The Begining Of My Epic Build

When i did a comp test i just un-did the hose clamp connecting the carb to the intake( gotta pull the carb off it too) and then tried. That way you dont need to open the throttle and you can just kick it.

Works great :thumbsup:

Re: AF16E Spree swap, summer project!

New settings, it was bogging and losing power right around 30-35 40, 103 Clip 1 up from middle B9HS plug Although now there is another problem. When its cooling down at a stop light it'll drop from around 290 to 260. Then when i try to take off again it will bog and lose power. I have to rev it a co...
