Crap, I didnt want to do the front pulley mod cuz i'm not what you would call a "tint hiney" and i have hills near my house.

Any thoughts to increase the speed , besides a pulley mod?

not really. spree engines suck.

if your lookin for torque, find an elite50 engine. it will be worth your wild!!

wiring up the engine to the spree............nuttin to it. all the wires are the same color.

last time I rode it 30's however faster than 35 (downhill) it sounds like it shut off the spark (cdi? rev limiter?)

I saw somewhere that an sb shares (some parts) with a spree. So would a crank swap work?

An SB does have a lot of similar traits to the NQ 50 engines... One of which is that the front pulley is fixed in a very similar way. So similar in fact, that it sucks equally in the "can't add a variator easily" department.
