Trouble with my spree

Post by Honda Spree Guy »

I'm having a hard time with my spree oil pump and my 21mm carburetor. Do i hook my pump up to my 21mm carburetor if i already have to mix my gas with oil.

Why does it have a 21mm carb on it? Es demasiado grande
I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.

Maybe you should ask Taz about running the oil pump and premixing. Is there a nipple on the carburetor for oil?

I'm not sure. Trying to ask taz about it and not getting full answers. Looked it up online, and people are saying drilling another nipple for the oil pump. Any help will be much appropriated.

It is not normally done.
If you are pre-mixing, no reason to have the pump also hooked up.
Ratio of mixture is a very important factor for 2 stroke engines.
Pre-mix to the suggested ratio...period.
Running pre-mix AND a pump too will create a "lean burn" and damage your bore.

Yes it will, if you have the wrong ratio. Only do this when using a BBK.

If retaining your oil pump, you'll want 80:1 in the tank for break in. Run that for 2 tanks, then switch to 96:1 in your tank after break in. This is what I run on my Cyclone Spree, works very well. I have revved past 11,000 several times, and plug is nice and brown.

Connect the oil pump here:

Thanks, I was wondering what that nipple by the choke was.

Eclark5483 what kind of carburetor is that.

I'm trying to figure out how to post pics, so I can show everyone how I got it all hooked up.

That is the carb that ships with the kits Taz sells. And to post pics, upload them to https://postimages.org/ and use the "IMG" tag button, between the tags, that's where the URL will go.

For instance, the way I got the image to display is:

Code: Select all
