Dojo,

Asking a lot of questions is fine, crossposting is not. Refer back to tech help for the same question. I'm locking this post.

Dojo, An 80cc pipe will likely be too large, an 50cc enduro pipe should be sized closer. Problem is that these engines aren't highly tuned. An exhaust of 19mm diam for the initial downpipe is about the right size for these given the current porting. That happens to be the same size as the current ex...

Restrictor is in the exhuast PIPE, not port. Look inside the pipe inlet, if it's there you'll see it. Only exists on Iowa models.

$500's not a bad price IF the bike is in good cosmetic shape. I think Jim's been studying these for awhile now. If you can drive a stick shift car you should be fine. Do you know how to countersteer a bike?

On this note: I'd like to get the parts list manual on this site as well. Anyone have an electronic copy of this that I could post here? I'd like to have access to the Honda parts numbers here.

Sounds like it's running rich. Either the intake is plugged somewhere, or a jet is loose (I assume the carb is clean.) How's the aircleaner?

Glad to hear the site helped you out. Good idea on the baby seat... but I'm not sure I'm going to try it.

You can remove your belt and take it to the auto parts shop. They can measure it and (usually) give you an equivalent length back. The increased width of the belt does the same thing as the "pulley mod" listed above does for the stock belt i.e. removing .03" from inner pulley. The bel...

Went back and checked the numbers. The combination of pulley and slight compression bump got me about 3 MPH increase, from 27 to 30 on an '84 Iowa spree.

Dude, turn your caps lock off. No need to shout. I've been wanting to try the Chevy breather thing. You have two Sprees? Try it on the one that runs and see how it works. If it does, use it on the other. The critical thing on the intake is the length of the rubber tube to the carb. Do you have that ...
