Hi. Thanks to this forum, my '85 Spree lives and is doing 35mph!
Now to make it pretty again...
The front tabs on the side panels (below the front of the seat) from the Spree broke off and have been held together with washers, yet the plastic is kinda cracked around that area too. I'd like to ...

Tried to assemble it but the bolt on the gas tank is bigger than the nut on the petcock. Compared it to the ...

Spree spewing oil: Oil pump problem?
My 84 Spree was running okay last year, except it would have issues starting after a long ride (20mi+). After storing it in the garage over the winter, I noticed a big ole oil spot on the floor. The little scoot wouldnt start - even with fully charged battery and new plug installed. Yanked the new ...
