Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Yes, o ring was there, but no washer. I replaced the o ring as part of the gasket set I ordered. As far as the mix screw position, im guessing it was an attempt to get more fuel into the mix to compensate for the air box/exhaust derestricting.

So I've run into another minor head scratcher. As I was putting everything back together, I was looking over the oil system and at the oil pump in particular, intending to zip-tie it wide open. I noticed that there is a cable that connects to the oil pump. This cable seems to move in sync with the c...

Hi everyone- IÔÇÖm in the process of undoing some of the ÔÇ£modsÔÇØ on a 2001 Honda Elite S. IÔÇÖve recently taken the carb apart to clean it, and when I screwed in the mix screw to count the turns, I discovered it was screwed all the way in. Not sure why, but the main issue is that when I removed i...

9:1 gears on stock motor brought my scoot from 40mph to about 45 after changing roller weights, clutch springs and contra sping. If you swap in taller gears on a completely stock motor without tuning your trans to compensate, top speed will increase slightly while peak RPMÔÇÖs will be reduced. Acce...

Thank you, I am still learning about the intricacies of carburetor operations. I think what the other post was getting at was that because with lighter weights the engine would rev higher, a bigger jet might be necessary to supply the necessary fuel/oil at the higher rev. So, as I understand it, the...

One more (possibly stupid) question regarding jet size: is it possible to adjust the air/fuel via the mix screw so that it would not run too rich on an 88 jet? I had read on another thread that lighter rollers would make the engine rev higher and thus would warrant a larger jet. Since I am probably ...

Not excessive, informative! Thank you for the information, I will order the proper jet. I have a new exhaust gasket on hand and am waiting for the carburetor gasket set to come in (Honda OEM) from a local powersport shop. It should be in this week so hopefully I will be back on the road this weekend!

Thank you for the response. I do realize that any extra performance gained from an engine is going to come at a cost. My aim is to properly modify the engine such that the cost is mitigated and that the engine remains mechanically sound, with proper lubrication and air/fuel ratio, etc. The modificat...

Hello everyone! This forum has been immensely helpful for me, so I decided to create an account so I could ask a few questions of my own. Here's my situation. I currently am in possession of a 2001 Elite S. I realize this is the SA50P version and is restricted. I say "in possession of" as ...
