Stage 3 honda spree wont do anything............
Alright here it goes been working on this bike for almost a year, and now it wont start. I had a bbk on my spree that somehow got a crack in the cylinder and caused damage to both the piston and rings so i got a whole new top end. In the mean time i noticed the crank on that engine was having trouble turning over later found it had crap in the bearing so i unbarried another engine i had laying around that had a good crank and turned over great. So i started the swap gears clutch pulleys and all. When i got the new bbk i put that one on and got everything put together. Compression is around 125 psi. Has good spark (meaning spark jumps over 1/2" to a ground and using ngk plugs no. 6's brand new). Im using a 19mm carb with electric choke along with the ct intake. I took apart and inspected the intake no problems, reeds looked fine and everything was operating properly. So a colleague told me the timing may be off due too a bad key. I inspected that cleaned an reassembled key looked great. Still wont start. I put mix down the plug whole and nothing. I inspected both crank seals looks great. Im stumped.... Anyone have any ideas??????

Re: Stage 3 honda spree wont do anything............
As long as the wooduff key is installed right you cant have messed up timing. Cdi is my guess as well.
Re: Stage 3 honda spree wont do anything............
A timing light answers both questions. Don't forget that if you line up the timing mark at 0 degrees and the piston is at TDC you can confirm mechanical timing.

Re: Stage 3 honda spree wont do anything............
I think I may have similar problems to you. I have a spree that sounds like it's in the same condition. Did you ever figure out the culprit and get it running?
