Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

ok so here is the scoop
50mm bore poli
9:1 gears
8.5 rollers
28mm V8 exhaust
24mm carb (45,130jets)
ct intake
and i still only go 35-40mph and i cant grab full throttle or she will die and bog out, please help.

one more question, i am premixing 40:1, i took the tube that normaly goes to the carb from the oil pump and screwed a screw in it, she leaks only barley, i want to take my oil tank and make it an extra gas tank with a "T" fitting and combine the gas tank and the oil tank as one tank.
so here is the question Can I Run with a Screw in the oil delivery line? and then connect with gas line????? or is running the oil pump dry BAD?
here is a link to the oil tank becoming a gas tank idea

Your main jet is to big. Try a 120. If your carb has the power jet,disconnect it.up that pilot to a 48 or 50.

running the pump dry is bad, get a hold of vtcycles and get a pump plug for you scoot. and if you can modify you oil tank outlet to accept a fuel fitting then by all means go for it. might want to post a how to after you results have been proven to work.

ok jetting down it is. one more question, what is a power jet?? function that you talk about?
also will order a plug, and will be more than happy to post a how to on conversion of oil tank to extra gas tank
Thanks guys

VT cycles is no longer in business

Scooter assasins has one for close to $25 which is pretty steep. You could make your own out of change for about $3 bucks

the power jet carb has a hose that goes from the float bowl to the mouth of the carb.

ok i have a screw on the top of the carb, is that ok, should i remove it, or should i take the hose off?

This is a powerjet carb. The power jet is the hose from the front top of the float bowl to the top of the air inlet.

Disconnect the hose from the top nipple and plug the hose with a screw .

Greetings:

You can purchase vacuum line caps at Autoparts stores and just cap the barbs,too.

Or just force a BB or a small ball bearing into the hose and reconnect it to the nipple.

That how we do it a Trafficjamz

ok, i have 2 BB's in there have a screw on the top and its reconected, jetted to 48/125 as i have no smaller mains than that, but have some on the mail on there way here!! she is running better but i think still a little rich, now i can hit 40mph with out too much struggle.

Greetings:

Consider dropping the needle while you wait for the 122-118-115 mains to arrive.
The pipe is a determinant of the optimal Main size, as is engine displacement and even the Air's Density Altitude.
That said, Flash liked the 118-120 @72cc and PG Long.
