Can anyone tell me where to find detailed directions on taking apart the engine? I replaced the cylinder gasket but I am still not getting higher than 30 PSI for compression so I think a ring went evern though the cylinder is not marred or scratched.

wait, did you replace the top(metal gasket)? and were you getting above 30 psi before?

Does it run? If it does, let it run for maybe 15 min. Piston rings expand as they warm up. So if you hook a compression tester to your motor you are going to get a low reading. Just from experience....

If it runs with a compression of 30 PSI it will be the first engine in history to do so.

No it does not run and I have the Honda Elite not the Spree. Thanks for the posts.
