rebuild

Hi, Im currently working on a 84 Honda spree, My friend dropped it off in hopes of me getting it running for him, Sounded like low compression, so i pulled the top end apart and there is some pretty nasty scoring on the exhaust side, Looks like it needs new rings, piston, and head.

Or bigger piston and a bore.

Where can I purchase these parts? I have searched on here but dont see any links to any sites.

What is the engine code? I keep reading that its a nq50?

I work at oreilly auto parts and would prefer to order them through them since I can get them at cost.

But all the honda engines listed in the primeline book start with a G, such as gx100 or similar.

Any help would be appreciated!

I think you can only get parts from honda powersports but I could be wrong. The sprees product code is GK8. Why would it need a head?

you shouldn't';t need a head was it cracked or something

Well it can be honed, but if it wasnt outrageous i figure just buy a new one.

The scraches are pretty deep on the exhaust side.

the bottom piston ring was stuck to the piston from the wear.

Are the odometers in kmh, or miles

its got 10000 on it according to the odometer.

is there a site on the internet you can buy the engine parts from?

The closest honda powersports dealer is 50 miles away, dont really wanna drive that far.

probably more like 1k.. and its mi

yes, you can buy online. I've bought honda stuff from these guys before, pretty good service and prices but shipping is a bit much:

surprisingly cyl can still work okay even with light to medium scoring and light gouging.. if new cyl is too expensive, get new piston and rings, conrod bearing, piston pin and circlips. Then wetsand and crosshatch the inside of the current cylinder.

Re-install properly and you should be set

I'm going to get a flexhone soon. I end up honing so d*** many cylinders! The flexhone is only about $30, and I'll use the * out of it.

is the need inside the carb from the throttle cable suppose to go up and down?

I noticed the throttle cable is really stiff and only moves about 1/4 of a turn then just stops and the cable just tenses up. It just doesnt seem right.

I pull it all apart and relubed the cable it slides perfectly and feels how i think it should, Throttle moves fullly as i think it should. But when I put the other parts back into the bottom its back to the way it was.

any ideas?

Your putting the throttle slide in the carb wrong, it should drop in there very deep, there is a slot running the length of the side the rides on a little nub inside the carb. If the 2 dont line up the throttle will only have one position, wide open.
