Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Thanks for all the help on my questions. I raised the needle one click and this seems to have solved the problem. I am now running in the 340-350 range at 1/2-3/4 throttle consistently on long hauls. The castor seemed to help with wot temps too. I also went ahead and put the smaller 138 jet back in ...

Castor is much thicker than the Honda GN2. Read to use as a pre-mix only. Not suitable for use in the pump. I found that at WOT the temperatures were lower 333 vs 360. At 1/4-3/4 throttle still had temperatures in the 360 to a max of 379. All in all I feel better about the castor because it doesn't ...

Thanks for the replies thus far. I need to add that I am running a ngk BR8hs plug and I meant to say that I am lowering the clip to raise the needle one position. Wandered if anyone else is running this setup and what jets they are using. I need some kind of ball park.
