Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

any idea what size I am shooting for with these upgrades?

Making some headway... mounted engine (W00t!!!) , installed front fender, and leg shield/glovebox. Did all the wiring including jap tail. Installed throttle cable to carb. Installed vacuum line to intake manifold. I dremeled the shroud so the spark cap could fit.

I want to fire this bad boy up to see how we are doing but I need a new main fuel hose. Does anybody know what size hose I need for this?

looks great

so...

Went to advanced auto parts and got a new fuel line. Tried starting it up and kickstart was sticking. Removed it, grinded a lot more of the inside down with a dremel (powder coating added too much material) , installed it back and finally got this thing running.

Here is a movie... you can see my temp gauge is flashing 278.. that was the max temp I hit just driving it up and down the alley way here behind my place... I'm going to need some serious tuning help

your not in that much trouble but a quick pm to backa or wheelman once you get it broke in wouldn't hurt.....

so ran the bike again today. I have the bike idle-ing just fine. I definitely need to rejet my main though. I have strong power when I open the throttle until about 1/4 then it just BOGGGGGGG's out like its getting all air and no fuel. I maxed out at 301 degrees F probably around 30 mph and shut her down today

Time to order some jets from treatland

Also I'm leaking fuel from my main fuel line at the carb nipple, thank god I have my crank cover on-fire waiting to happen. Having a hard time getting that hose on and my hose clamp all smashed in between the carb and outside of hose

mehh....

That is how my 86cc ran .....with that filter on.

What is the jetting now?

Ha I knew someone was going to chime in about that filter. I'm at 50 pilot and 155 main. I just ordered a set from scooter assasins on fleabay which will give me 158, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180

I'm thinking one step at a time, shouldn't my ideal temp range be under 300?

Not sure on the 86cc but my 72cc corsa sees 325 to 350 temps normally with no concern

and by the way your white kicker cover..............I can't get over how bad * it looks!!!!!!!!!!!

That's good to know thank you I was getting worried at 300

Haha yeah it turned out pretty cool eh?

... this is going to sound ridiculous

are my floats installed correctly or are they upside down?





I'm up to a 160 main now and I still BOGGGGGGGGGGG at like 1/5 throttle I feel like I need to raise the needle, I got up to about 325f today

The floats are in right, it pretty d*** hard to install them upside down.

However, your float level is set way high which may explain the jetting problems your are having.

I assume you are referring to the actual fuel level we see there, how can that be adjusted? I remember reading through posts where an individual had to bend their floats back down, same situation here?

found trafficjamz's picture

is this what you are referring to ?
