Spree High Speed Run problems

[jkovalcik]

Have a 1986 or so, Honda Spree. It's a runner after sitting for a few years and it sat because it runs well, at full speed for about 10 - 20 seconds and then only idles. If you leave it sit for an hour or two, it does same thing. It cuts out when you accelerate. Suspected the carb needed cleaning (suspected fuel bowl would fillup and then would not refill on demand) and followed the instructions on this site for carb cleaning and "jet setting" which were great but still have same issue. Seems to have pulsing fuel pressure from tank to carb. Read tech manual and wanted to see if someone better idea than pulling out VOM and checking the electronic stuff. Cleaned Spark plug and checked wiring as 90% of all carb problems are electric. jkovalcik@intepros.com Boston burbs.

sounds like to me you need to re-clean the carb with special attention to the small tiny hole inside the top, cant remember the name of it but if its not clean it wont run right. also check the float and float valve needle. and while your at it soak your fuel petcock it may be dirty. how does the air filter look? it may need cleaned or replaced.

Sounds like the carb is running out of fuel because of slow feed from the tank. Clean the tank, making sure the screen is clean. Flush the petcock and install a fuel filter between the petcock and the carb if you don't have on yet. You should be good to go. Oh and use Seafoam in every other tank to prevent this stuff.
