Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

i bought a honda spree and let my buddy use it and told him he needed to put oil in it, well he didnt and it died on him. he ran it too long wiht no oil in it. is there in any way that i could like fix the engine and if so how?? i could just buy a new engine for it but they are realy hard to find. any help is great!

does it turn over at all?

You need to either buy an oversized piston and rings and have your cylinder bored to the new piston's size, or buy a Big Bore Kit from Tazland001 here on the forum. If it was me I'd go with a 44 mm BBK, but there is a 48 mm BBK available. He may well have just a standard oversized piston too but you will have to ask hm.

You have learned a valuble lesson here "NEVER ever loan your scooter to anyone!" Especially if it needs anything done service wise before it is ridden.

it does turn over. sounds like it would start but it just wont. maby i will have to go with a big boar kit.

Clean the carb and just ride it.

The scooter won't start because it has no compression from lack of oil, so how the * is he suppose to ride it when it won't start and isn't a carb issue?

I have one sitting in my shop that went thru almost the exact same thing...


You're done... Listen to the Bear

Now may be the time to do that Dio swap, or rebuild.

Im going to go with a BBK & new gears myself.

i was looking around on here and saw a lot of things about the dio swap. im not to familiar with that but i think i could figure it out if i decide to get a whole new engine but what would be more worth it the swap or just rebuilding the engine??

piston/rings/cylinder are all probably junk and need to be replaced, whether thats back to stock, or oversize is up to you

i want to do over sized and order a bbk off ebay but dose that mean i would still have to get the cylinder head bored out bigger?

If you are gonna order off flea-bay and you are ordering from chopchop*123, then don't. Contact Tazland001 here on the forum for a discount on that kit, since it is the same guy.
