Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

ok, i got some new spark plugs and did a plug chop. 100% perfect.
But i dont want perfect, i want it to be a little rich. I know you can set the little clip in the top of the carb. up or down to make it a hair rich or lean.

Now, im having a dumb * moment and i cant seem to remember if it is up or down that makes it rich. any one know?

(come on Kenny_McPlugChop ! i know you can help me! )

Up lean, down rich.

Up=lean, down=rich.

actually moving the clip wont make it richer or leaner, the position of the clip indicates the transition between the pilot and the main. Its usually adjusted for a mid throttle bog or hesitation. Remeber the pilot is the first 1/4 of throttle, then its the needle, then the main is for full throttle. If you want it richer, a bigger jet is needed or a easier way is to restrict your airbox just a bit with tape.
Less air means more gas...

thanks for the info that is really helpful.

my problem is, i dont remeber what jet i have in there. I know its something drilled. Maybe a 95 or 88 or something like that. I want to move up to jet 100 anyway.
Once i get my new bore kit i will be upgrading. But no since and ruining this one since its perfect.

dac, this might help you with some jetting . Its pretty cheap and i use this all the time when i do derestricts on stock bikes at work. You can also use this to check jet sizes too
