Would not having the top bolt of the transmission case that holds on the rear fender possibly cause this oil leak from the rectangular weep hole?

It doesn't leak at all when its sitting on the stand. I didn't notice anything when swapping engines either. I only notice it after riding, so I am assuming a little bit of oil somehow sloshes out of the hole and that is what I see dripping when I park it. It only drips a few times then stops. The ...

Just swapped an 87 motor into my 85 spree. Rode it for awhile and it ran great but when I parked it I noticed oil dripping near the rear brake. I took off the wheel, pulled out all the cable hardware and I am pretty sure it is leaking out of the small rectangular notch in the casting near where the ...

Well now I feel like something is wrong with the amount of acceleration I have haha. Much better now, hit 30+ very quickly. Compression is just above 90 psi now? I hope its not running to lean or something. Either way thanks for the help!

Just shined a flash light into the exhaust tip and I could physically see that it is clogged. Burning it this afternoon. Hopefully this cures my problems. Thanks for the help guys!

The plug is wet/oily every time I remove it. Suggestions on the best way to "unplug" the exhaust? Just throw it on a fire and wait a while? I would say the acceleration is slightly slower when warmed up. It is hard to tell though since it sputters up to 15 when cold. I was planning on buying a BBK ...

With a warmed up engine the compression is about 92-93.

Finally got around to testing the compression and it was right around 97 so low. The spark plug looked to be oil fouled (pic). Idle airscrew and idle speed set per manual. I plan on removing and cleaning the muffler later.

I have a 1985 Honda Spree that runs, but does not run great. Acceleration is so slow that by the time I hit the top speed of 23 MPH!!!!!, I already have a line of cars behind me. Starts great cold but takes ~3 minutes of stuttering at 15 MPH to warm up. Requires almost full throttle to start it once ...

I have re cleaned the carb two times already. I do plan on replacing the filter once my new one comes in.

My 1985 Honda Spree will not start. It has not been ran for the last two years and has sat with bad gas (I know I'm an idiot). I cleaned the carburetor, put in a new spark plug, drained the old gas, and I the put in some new gas. After doing this I got it to start for about two seconds and then it ...

Bear, I am running an 85 jet with the uni filter. Everything else is stock on the spree, no bore kit/gears. Acceleration and power is much better than stock but top speed is about the same. It runs pretty good but definitely not perfect. KingJeff, I have them wired up to a toggle switch. A fuse is ...

Yea blue is probably the worst color to have because of cops. Other colors like green are even better since red is still used by emergency vehicles.

Plastic is destroyed, yes I know. I felt bad cutting that area out for the filter but i do have an extra set of plastic. For all of those who do this beware of the 5-0. It really depends on your state laws though. I already have been pulled over, no ticket luckily

Nevermind... Bear, you mentioned ground, i checked the ground in the back and the ground was not hooked up right (I had two wires mixed up for some reason ). Thank you very much!
