spree help

Post by honda guy »

my daughter has a 1986 spree, she doesnt need more top end speed, just more power for the hills and a faster launch. because its not variated is there anything on the clutch that can be changed? what is the next size up on the torque spring? thanks for your help. i have considered a bbk, but want to keep the oil injection system.

How slow is the launch? Granted the stock motor is not "fast" (it is in fact quite the opposite in just about every way) I don't remember it being THAT bad of a launch or that terrible on the hills. On a steep incline, I mean steep, steep, my little Spree would could muster up 15 or so. 20 or so on average/small size hills. Are these the speeds you are achieving?

I can't speak to the clutch question as I never bothered messing with it (I'm sure there are others on the board who are much better equipped to answer that question), but I know new rings and a good tune really helped my little Spree's acceleration. This may be a silly question, but have you checked the condition of the cylinder?

*Sorry if my reply wasn't helpful, but to be honest the Spree's little engine is barely "street-able" in the best stock condition. And I'm not sure how fast you want/need it to accelerate.
