Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Yours doesn't die while idling like that? I should throw a drill bit into my idle tube and pull it!

The wiki suggests that the air tract distance is a factor - going cone/free flow requires an upjet to compensate "running" but idle will be lean (possibly crummy). Standard advice I've seen is to locate a replacement on eBay! I see six on eBay right now (elite 50 air box) which would get y...

Hah-ha!

Warmed up and after yesterday's issues, 130psi.

I can't tell if that is a statement or question but yes. I was too quick to get off public transit :-/

Intriguing! Could they be removed and measured? Perhaps they are in the service manual! Either way keep us posted. My thoughts are that if these flake unless in grease, and grease melts out from heat and gas, engine wear may result negating or outright reducing performance. I am a noob though...

Heck of a read, thanks!

All these posts had me thinking I didn't read my directions... Now rechecking my boxes I can't find them and don't recall seeing 'em. Maybe Taz forgot them for this run, or figured the forum would provide!

Wouldn't jetting to the stock airbox keep things running smooth?

Does anyone else get snapped pictures of while cruising? Passengers in cars seem to go ballistic every once in a while when a putt by... Maybe spree sized scooters are just that rare over here!

Not visible on mobile view though. You're just Pauly! Are you a DJ?

Bligh. Two soft seizes opening my airbox for power and speed... Still running though! I will test warm compression this afternoon..

In my quest to learn a bit about cylinder heads before biting the bullet and dremeling my 41mm head to 48 to match bore, I stumbled across articles about Somender Singh. This guy tested various modifications to heads aimed at improving combustion. The groove is a channel cut going from the chamber i...

I haven't tried it yet, but this: http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewto ... 3&start=30

This is on my todo list! Without a freeflow my 48mm kit bogs like crazy unless I hold my airbox open. How is your idle with the free flow?

Cool! I want to open a business sometime... Do you have any advice?

I wonder if I overheated today due to running the 4. In any event two things lead me to believe I am running rich, beyond the fouled plug: the bike ran like a CHAMP - as it was running out of gas. Further, pulling up a corner of my air box lead to incredible acceleration and top speed gains compared...
