2 quick questions from a spree noob

Post by lambdafreq »

-Is there a difference in seats between the 1984 and 1985 Spree's?

-If you buy a big bore piston and gasket kit, is that all you need? As in, can everything else be stock and it will all work?

Thank you, Aaron.

All spree seats are the same

Big bore kits require that you do some work to the head and re jet the carb to work correctly.

Alright, thank you!

Edit: I assume that by head you mean the gasket head?

Greetings:

Not the gasket, but the head itself must be carved bigger or extra 48mm gaskets used to enlarge the combustion chamber. Otherwise compression goes too high and the engine will overheat. A lot more mixture to compress.
