Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Greetings: Even a small air leak at the reeds will have a significant effect on the compression measured at cranking speed. . The closure of the reed is in part dependent on the pressure applied from within the crankcase as the piston descends. If some air blows back out the reed cage, there's less ...

Greetings: I'll assume you were careful with your assembly. Did you insert the rings into the bore and measure gap? Also that you slathered everything with plenty of KY Jelly - no, check that - Genuine Soichiro Honda-Approved 2-Cycle oil when you screwed it together. No obvious external compression ...

Greetings:

Scroll right a skosh. It says E63.28. WIth the current exchange rate on the US dollar, that' about $51,248.

Greetings: I admire the skill with computers in evidence on Dac's post on this topic. I would add that another feature of a longer stroke engine is its increased displacement, which would account for its increased low-rev performance at least as much as the "leverage" factor. I also agree ...

Greetings: Quoth the Bear: "They stopped using rubber in carb gaskets and "o" rings better than 25 years ago because of the nasty stuff they started putting in gas to replace the nasty lead." Agreed, but plastic and polymers of all sorts lose integrity with time, become brittle a...

Greetings: My Aero was sold to me by a friend who at one time purchased a "kit" to overhaul the carb. As often happens, he never got around to finishing the project. I'm not sure if/where the kit can be procured today. Without replacement parts, cleaning the carb may or may not help. Rubbe...

Greetings: Internal combustion engines need three things to run, presuming the heavy parts are in working order: 1. Fuel Mixture 2. Compression 3. Spark at the right time. Number 3 is unlikely to be the problem. Everyone always talks about "Timing" being "off", because it sounds ...

Greetings:

Thanks. I called the 888 #. The website is Malossi USA. I really appreciate all the guidance. I'll get to tear into the Aero later this week or next.

Greetings: This is where I found some gears: http://www.malossionline.com/en/catalog/model/peugeot-st-50-2t-MO_PEST50/gears-67 Evidently a Peugeot shares some running gear with the Aero, AKA Vision 50 in Europe. I had less success finding an US distributor website from which to order. Roselle? Can y...

Greetings: Thanks for all the replies. The 50cc.eu site listed seven (7!) top-end kits for the Aero along with a 19mm Amal carb and a rusty-looking stock muffler, but no gears or anything else I could fiind today. Depending on the exchange rate, Polini and Malossi 47 mm piston/cyl kits for under E$1...

Greetings: I don't know what the power output of that little honey is. If it's 200/liter -- not an atypical output even for stock 4-stroke 600 sportbikes - then it makes about 14 hp. In full racing spec, durability and longevity is not a concern, so it's likely even more than that. No doubt that it ...

Greetings:

I had no idea:

Bad-ass scoot. With the US$ in the toilet, this thing probably costs more'n a dang Hayabusa. Still... What price is too much to own the baddest 50/70ccs. on the planet? Zing.

Greetings: Thanks to the kindness of this Collective, I have found sources for all the Go-Less-Slow parts I plan to install on the 1985 Aero with the exception of the final drive. There do not seem to be any available that are described as compatible with the NB. Lots for '94/later SA/Dio, though. S...

Sorry forgot to tack on the Earl:

Greetings: Yesterdaty my Google search broght me into a primitive-looking website that showed only one 63cc kit available for my Aero. Revisiting today I found a much more attractive site, and it now features a different kit (Proma) in addition to the Taiwan-made CMR I had seen. Someone told me thei...
