Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Riches! YA!! Selling Spree parts! LOL. But naw. This ain't gonna make me any real money. Military work, thats how we make money. Abrams Tanks and Patriot missile stuff.

But what is the real reason that there isn't one currently? Beside the lack of the ability to bore the cylinder? No demand? I don ...

Ok, this has been bugging me for a little while. I've seen through adds on Ebay what a Variator looks like and I have a good idea how it works. I have a full machine shop. Not a little one like a school shop class. Lots of CNC lathes, Machining centers, even a large Horizontal. My Families shop, I ...

Keith, post those numbers!! Please. My local Honda dealer is no help to me finding them, even sold me one that doesn't fit. I don't know where else to look.

There is one in Dearborn off of Ford road. Just west off Telegraph. I hate the atmosphere in there, parking lot sucks, always a lone line. They do have some parts in stock, which is good. But I hate going there. If you have questions, they don't have answers for older mopeds. They couldn't even find ...

Yup, that sounds more like it. My 2000 Camaro SS don't like a 160.

I got my 86 spree to 37 mph. Pulley mod, and a clean exhaust.

I ported the engine and milled the head on the old motor. Only to find that the cylinder is shot and the piston is too. So I replaced the motor with a spare one off an 85 I have. The old motor still runs, it's just a hard start.

Where do I get a larger jet? Honda dealership?

So I did the pulley mod (.09 off) and belt, and felt as if I needed more power. (a weak 35mph) So I pulled the Cylinder and ported the exhaust and intake. Milled the head .018. Cleaned the muffler.

I put it back together and noticed a good power gain. Only gave me 1 plus mile per hour, from 35 to ...

I am not sure where the 5mm thing came from. I didn't really have any plans on making a big bore kit.

I would buy one of those mufflers too. For $100, that would save me lots of time.

Looks like the pipe is the way to go huh. So I cleaned mine for no good reason. I'll look into the pocket bike thing.

I am going to yank the motor soon and get everything going. I also need to paint this thing. It was red, and someone did the black half * job on it. It looks like crap.

That sucks ...

7) Experiment with raising exhaust port a little bit (1 or 2 mm to start)

I am not really sure about what you mean. The exhaust port that bolts up to the muffler, right? Move it up? Is this a grind away material thing, or is it an add a gasket (or thin metal) between the cylinder and casing.

I was thinking more along the lines of altering a Variator to fit on a Spree. Something like that. I don't think that a custom muffler will do much for me. I could machine a new larger piston, bore out and hone the cylinder. But then I have to really mess with the engine case for clearances.

I looked at the plug when I first got the moped. It was carbed up a little and I cleaned it.

I'll leave the screw alone. It runs fine when I put the screw back in. I am just trying to milk it for every little mph. (1 and 7/8 turns out)

First of all I have to say that it's great to see that there are still guys building these bikes. I was really, really into them back in 1992-1995 (I was 12-15 years old) and I just bought an 86 Spree.

Now that I am sort of grown up, I really want to make one fly. I know, Dio motor conversion is ...
