Re: Spree won't do a thing after carb clean

Frustrating, I can relate. The issue is always something simple but not exactly obvious. Diagnosis is always 90% of the repair so just keep digging for it. Have you gone over everything under the belt cover? Maybe a slipping belt, cooked clutch, glazed bell, c etc… I had a faulty petcock once that w...

Re: Spree won't do a thing after carb clean

Check fuel delivery. Possibly faulty petcock or cracked/leaking vacuum hose to said petcock. Maybe blocked fuel line. Could be an air leak at one of 20 different places allowing air to suck in when revved but not at idle. Check every connection theres a gasket or rubber o-ring….bystarter, carb top c...

FYI, the Stage6 one is junk. I tried it and actually LOST performance.

Re: Proper selettra ignition for Honda Dio/Elite

In my experience building over 20 sport/race motors on the af16 platform, the cdi upgrades do little-to-nothing for performance. The stock Honda cdi keeps up with 11,500 rpm’s just fine with no noticeable spark lag. This is on fully built motors with ported engine cases, ported race bores, ported in...

Re: Dio af18 project🔥

Porting isnt necessary to make it rip. The Corsa is amazing for bolt-on and go as is. If you were going to do any porting you’d need to crack open the cases and remove the crank while you do it. Then do the boost port and some other small internal bits while youre in there. Its not worth the effort ...

Re: 86 SPREE ....GOOD NEWS ...BAD NEWS

Also, if you have jumper cables you can hook it to your car and start your Spree if the battery is weak. Just dont have the car running while you do it. The Spree doesnt like the 14.4v a running car will give. Leave the car off for a 12 volt jolt! If you have an electric car…I have no idea. Try at y...

Re: 86 SPREE ....GOOD NEWS ...BAD NEWS

Four things for starter to work: 1, key on 2, red button switched to “run” 3, left brake lever pulled and held (can be locked on via parking brake tab) make sure rear brake light illuminates brighter when lever is pulled. 4, press starter button If that doesnt work then you have issues like: bad sta...

Re: Dio af18 project🔥

If it doesnt like your oil mix, it will let you know pretty quick. Too much oil will either be fine, run like crap or not run at all. Its the “not enough oil” that will break stuff. Lol Be sure to hondabond the heck out of the oil plug before you shove it in. They have o-rings but somehow still leak...

Re: 1987 se50 elite mlm pipe.

Dont look at it as having seven…its 42g total. Getting the Malossi yellow contra would improve the shift curve as well. That stock spring is well worn by now and isnt doing you any favors.

Re: 1987 se50 elite mlm pipe.

If I remember right, the stock rollers are like 12g or something crazy. Been a minute since I weighed them. Its a sound investment to buy a cheap digital meth scale on Ebay. I think mine was less than $20. Keep in mind that you can mix-n-match different weights in the vari as long as they are evenly...

Re: 2000 Elite SA50P Not Running After Initial Repairs/Service

Heavier rollers than stock would hinder your take-offs. The stock rollers are way too heavy as it is. Get the yellow malossi contra spring, some 9:1 gears, a decent variator and some 6g rollers.

Re: 1986 Spree progress.

32:1 ratio is what these motors like. That works out to 4oz oil per gallon of gas. How much the pump provides is a variable number since it fluctuates with the rpm’s. Whenever an oil pump dies, begins leaking or otherwise needs replacing..most people delete it and just pre-mix their gas since oil pu...

Re: 85 spree

I suggest you get one here: https://www.amazon.com/Spree-Compatible ... ms&sr=1-15

Its the best thing going and comes with a new (and correct) spark plug.
