Cheahreally... I seen somebody do a Dio conversion on a Spree on here and it looked bad *. Here's my thing. I don't need to go fast, I'm afraid to go over 40 with anything on two wheels (pretty much why i don't own a motorcycle) and Especially on a Spree. Now my dad had an Elite CH125 4 cycle, I took that * on the highway doing 65 or so and it felt awesome, so maybe things will be different when I find an Elite. I'm going to tear the cylinder off the Spree today (both of them, actually) and see * is going on, I seem to be getting compression, and it will run, but it's getting too much of something, it still sounds like not enough gas to me, but I'll take a look and lots of pictures for your enjoyment.

So how much for the Dio motor, and is it complete?

Sad to say, I either have to get another good jug, or buy a 25 over piston and have mine bored :( It has a NASTY gouge from an improperly seated piston ring or something. Will post pics soon.
