Re: Benji's metro

Got this one started!

I had to order a fuel pump to make it work. After that, several minutes of hitting the starter button over n over finally got it puttering!

That's not exactly an easy "Spree 101" fix for a new owner... right? Knowing how much to drill and how to balance the weights?
But custom motor swaps and gear changes are "spree 101"?

Re: Benji's metro

Ok, did some stuff to this one. Cleaned the carb and re-drilled the OEM jets to 40/80 and swapped out the airbox for a foam filter and deleted the pair system. https://s26.postimg.org/yj98mb2vt/IMG_20180406_153754043.jpg https://s26.postimg.org/q3jo4vsbt/IMG_20180406_154236129.jpg https://s26.postim...

Re: need help with 1986 honda spree

It's easier than it sounds. There's actually a right up on 49ccscoot.com about it. And, like any tuning, you do a little at a time. I only put 1 hole in each clutch shoe, a 3/16" hole. Got me to a clutch release of about 2500-3000 rpm. Or buy a bunch of parts from the local scooter shop and see...

Re: need help with 1986 honda spree

Swap the clutch springs for stiffer ones, or drill holes in the stock clutch shoes to lighten it up. That's what I did, worked ok.

Re: Proma Bad Snake Af05

I think you may be right about the bore not timed right for the pipe. Airsal used to make an aluminum bore for that af05 motor, I don't know if it's any higher revving tho. The real big elephant in the room is the motor/case itself- these little vertical Honda motors just ain't meant to rev up to 10...

Re: Proma Bad Snake Af05

That pipe looks like it needs to go high in rpm to make any power. Try up jetting and running on the stand until it gets to 9-10k maybe. If you down jet you'll limit upper rpm power. Also, maybe a free-er flowing carb would help, but it should still provide enough air and fuel for it to rev up.
