Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

I replaced the choke bystarter tonight as i noticed it was broken when i cleaned the carb. I can now get up to 28-30mph and when i hit bumps my engine doesnt stall. I am thinking about putting a new exhaust on at some point. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks

Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

Bear, what mods have you done to your scooter? If I go with a big bore will I need a new carb and exhaust?

Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

I weight 195 lbs. I know I exceed the weight limit by 15 lbs. I have only calculated my speed by the speedo havent checked it with my gps yet. I plan on checking the compression and belt this weekend. So we will see.

Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

Sorry, I guess sarcasm doesn't go well on a blog. My apologies! I just want help, I'm new to the scooter world. I have worked on cars, atvs, etc. Is there anything else I can do?

Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

Thanks Christian, that is correct. Nothing is broken currently. Some ppl don't know how to read I guess. Is there anything besides modding the pulley? What do guys use when they put a big bore kit on for ignition systems?
Thanks

Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

Why do you want me to put the old stuff back on? For the testing or in general?

Re: 86 Spree only goes 26mph

Planning on checking that stuff this week. I noticed the exhaust is restricted as well.

86 Spree only goes 26mph

I recently purchased a 1986 Spree that ran pretty decent. I changed the spark plug, cleaned the air filter and carb and it ran a little better. I then purchased a high performance CDI and coil. I still only go 27mph. Any ideas on what else I can do?

Thanks Bill
