Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I see you guys are all experts here, maybe i will just throw a CR250 motor on it i have laying around in my shop


I also built this, it will run 160 turning only 5k rpm

It realistically will do probably 50 on flat land, 55 down a hill This is with a 200lb rider. It ran 40 stock with just a wider belt, gps verified. If my spree isnt fast enough to get me where i need to go i have a car that certainly will.

Its a good and bad thing. Its good for performance, but i would only do it with a forged piston. Opening up the spree intake allows higher RPM and the cast piston is already weak, youll just weaken it more by cutting it. I didnt touch my piston, i just raised the exhaust port 3 degrees, ported the ...

Found it for sale for 150, offered 100 and getting it tommorow after work. Guy says it doesnt run but has compression, no spark. Electrical issues can be $$ but i figure worse case scenario i put a couple hundred in it, and still have a sweet scooter. Any tips i need to know about these? I assume ...

d*** thats slow as *, the iowa sprees have a restricted exhaust, there is a washer in the headpipe. The airbox is also restricted.

Generally speaking, a smaller carb is going to provide more low end power, while a larger carb is going to provide better wot performance and top end power.

The block and cylinder are being ported, i dont really think with a 19mm ill need an intake though. Porting the stock one should be fine

I would consider buying the CT intake, where do you get it from though?

Yea, a buddy of mine made me an adaptor to bolt to stock intake, i will be porting the intake to open it up a little bit too. Im just going to join the carb to the manifold with a 1" heater hose. May have some issues with the throttle cable, i guess well see how that goes when the time comes.

Yes ...

Heres my new carb, a TK 19mm

I like making stuff fast that wasnt intended to be. One of my cars is an 81 Pontiac Catalina, typical grandpa sedan, actually passed down to me from my grandpa. I yanked the 3.8 v6 out of it in favor of more power. Built a 500 horse/600ft lb of torque stroked/bored 468 Olds engine, built trans, rear ...

Ive built briggs 5hp racing engines for 10 years, i know a little about centrifugual clutches. Weigh it, drill/grind a few grams off, see results, remove and do again until desired stall. Same concept as with the governor in my Buick GNX transmission. Easiest way without forking around with the ...

Im modding the clutch for higher stall as well, the torque multiplication of higher rpms should give it quite a bit more go off the line. Listen to the stall speed of the new scooters, its quite a bit higher than the old school stuff. A friend of mine just got a 2012 yamaha zuma, i told him im gonna ...

Ive had it to 40 with a stock engine, bigger rear tire, and ax24 belt swap.

Im just hopping it up a little bit. The cylinder is getting a midrange/bottom end power type port job, milling head, etc. ive been doing alot of swapping and not tying alot of money up in the project. I have 6$ in the spree itself which ran great. I have 20 bucks tied up in the pipe, 40 in the carb ...
