Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Low compression on 1983 Nu50. Rather than bore to next oversize, the customer want to fit a new cylinder/piston kit. Any suggestions? Is the Nu50 set up interchangeable with any other scooters?

And the guy at the scooter shop told me that there was noting I could do if the compression was low. Tsk, tsk! I knew better.

Can anyone tell me the best place to get a new cylinder/piston kit for a1983 NU50? Are other models compatible? Or might it be cheaper to bore out to next oversize and just replace the piston on this particular scooter? Thanks.

i believe honda hobbit and honda express engine parts are interchangeable

treatland.tv is the best resource

+3 on treatland... Benji (owner) is one cool dude that ships stuff faster than anyone else!
