Recently I put on a K&N filter onto my honda spree. The filter is really a breather for an engine, but i managed to get it to fit onto my Spree. Now it seems that it gets too much air. I tried the adjusting screw, but it didn't help. Should I replace the jet with a bigger one to offset the increased airflow??? I took the jet out and it had a 68 stamped on it. If I can get a bigger jet, would it be a 67 or a 69??? By the way at speeds above 25 my scooter bogs down...could this be another problem besides the jet??? It seemed to happen the same time I replaced the filter. Thanks

Josh,
You need to do some "plug chops". Search the site for this, it may even be in Fred's "How to fix your moped".

Re: Honda Spree Carb Jets
A plug chop is where you run the engine at a given speed and then turn it off right away and check the color of the plug. So in my case at 25 mph I cut the engine and check the plug. Then according to the color I change my jets. The darker the pug is being too rich and the lighter the plug is being too lean, and ideally it should be a light brown.
Thanks Ron,

Josh,
Exactly. Dont even close the throttle, just hit the kill switch.

Re: Honda Spree Carb Jets
When doing a plug chop, should you wait for the engine to cool down before removing the plug (to avoid stripping it?)?

Morgan,
No, you can take them out hot, but you might burn your fingers!
