1986 honda spree pulley restricter plate? where is it at????

Post by needfasterthan31 »

i have been reading threads on how to make a spree go faster and one was to pull your side cover off and take off a restrictor plate that has 3-7mm bolts and you will gain at least a few miles per hour,i took my cover off and seen the front and rear pulleys and the drive belt but do not see a restrictor,the moped had 2200 miles from the original owner i doubt he took it off or maybe i am missing it,can someone explain exactly where it is or show a photo.i really need to try to keep up with traffic better,my spree does exactly 32 miles per hour flat ground.also what about the muffler,some say drill up the tip through both baffles and some say dremel or cut away the washer that is welded inside the flange.can anyone show me a photo of exactly what i drill away or explain it in exact detail.any suggestions are appreciated,thanks,

No restrictor plate on Spree, not even a variator.

There is no washer in a spree exahust, just the 2 baffels to drill
a spree has no variable front pulley and therefore has no variable pulley restricter plate.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

It was and there are restrictions on a spree, like the intake manifold needs some dremel work to function properly.

Remove it from the bike, its the metal deal between the reeds and the carb, its where the vacuum and oil line hooks up. Notice that it has sudden, sharp, poorly thought out transition form round to square, get a grinding stone a dremel and smooth it out really good.

Just remember to leave the finish rough.
