Re: Just recieved an 87 Spree

Okay. I ordered new rings & gaskets since I wasnt getting any compression. I just dug into the Spree today to find it needs something more than just rings. The cylinder & piston is all scratched up. On one side of the piston, the rings are flush with the piston from all the scratches. I have...

Re: Just recieved an 87 Spree

Havent checked if the head is loose, I didnt do the oil in the cylinder before I cranked or overnight.
I meant nothing as in firing up, it did backfire once, more like a poof.

Gonna go put oil in there now..

Re: Dies/locks up while riding.

Ok, I guess I used the wrong wording. The engine doesnt lock up. As youre riding, the rear tire locks up for a split second and the scoot dies. Then its a pain in the * to get started again. His scoot has gears, variator, 72cc big bore. Like I said, mines has done the same thing in the past and I do...

Re: Uni filter

If you run the uni filter,you will have to rejet your carb because it will be running lean.Thats why when you put the airbox back on it runs good.The airbox has some air restriction from the snorkle inlet and the filter. Will it be running lean since I'm running a #85 main jet? My set up so far is ...

Eventually I want to do more with a bigger carb. Will the Uni pod restrict the stockish set up?

Uni filter

Will putting a Uni pod filter cause the scoot (Dio) to run any worse than a stock airbox set-up? I know I have ridden the scoot after working on it and leaving the airbox off. It pretty much runs like crap, put the airbox & filter on and it runs perfect. I would like to get a Uni pod filter to g...

Re: Another question

Ive found an 85 Aero that another friend of mine might buy. But it has to have the potential to get to about 50 MPH. I know it would be easier to drop in a Dio, but I cant find any Dio's for a reasonable price around here. I don't know how the 85 would do specifically, but here is the list: Bore - ...

Another question

Does the Aero have the same engine as a '93 Elite SR?

I'm just wanting to know if there are gears and other goodies out there for an Aero.
