How much you weigh? I am at 285 so rings dont last long with my weight considering max weight limit is 180.

Trucks? Ha, i just throw it in the trunk of my grand am..its a pain but it works.

uspmale has one for you, Pm him. Its so small it could be sent first class so charges should be reasonable as opposed to a box via ground shipment.

Mine is doing the same exact thing, my compression is at 65 right now, so i know i need to replace the rings. Replace them now before it really blows and then u may have to get it bored out. If you catch it before you blow it up, then all you will need is a good honing.

I Blew up my bike..2nd time..so i bought used rings and piston and jug..had 2300 miles on it..slapped it all together and runs great. Got 32 mph with it..now i get 25..im sure my 285 lb butt isnt helping matters any but thats my story. I forgot to mention i didnt even use head or jug base gaskets ...

I have to agree..450-500 max anywhere.

vacuum vacuume vacumn hmm.......

The difference is the petcock will be 2 different sizes and only one will be able to screw in the tank. Swap out the tank or the petcock for the right fitment.

Torch with a rose bud tip on it and some tweaking? Nothing to lose to try it.

You will know because you wont be able to screw the cap on all the way if its installed incorrectly. It should tighten by hand with no tension, if you feel tension, turn the slide 180 degreees and you should be good.

If battery is fully charged, and all you hear is a click, then you have a broken or loose wire. Rig the battery staight to the starter motor. If that doesn't fix it, the starter motor is hosed, which I've personally never heard of on Spree. It happened to mine so dont rule it out entirley, rare ...

Your rings are blown..i blew mine up 3 times in a month before i found the oil pump to be the culprit.
