1987 spree..i drove it home the other day and it died. It has spark and fuel (carb was jus rebuilt). I checked compression it maxed out at 20 psi. Im a 6 foot 7 dude weighing in at 270. My question is this...should i just replace the rings or bore the thing out? it has 2500 miles on it. Thanks for any help you can offer.

rebuild the top end there is no since of boreing it out because it is only made for if ur cylinder is really messed up.

so you sayin just slap new rings on it and cal it good? I only ask this cause i only exceed the weight of the spree by a few hundred pounds or so..lol My thinking is that i bore it out and itll haul me around easier

If the bore is scored you'll need a rebore. Take the jug to the Honda shop when you buy the rings and they should be able to tell you what you need.
