Oh, I thought he was talking about the needle height in the carb.

I had a problem a couple weeks ago that had the same symptoms, and by adjusting the position of the clip on the throttle cable it made it run 30 +, and also starting it was easy-er after making the adjustment.

It looks like this and uses the new blade type fuses.

I'm lost Bear, what does that have to do with the clip on the throttle cable?

See what happens first thing in the morning when you have 2 threads open at the same time.

I had the same problem your having. Found out it was my bowl and seat being stuck open causing all the gas to go out the overflow. Went threw a full tank overnite. Hope this helps ya

whats your top mph on your spree and if your more mechanically inclined what does my problem sound like.

My (long gone) '84 Spree topped out at around <>28MPH, hoisting my - then - 200 lb * 'round town. (Since then I've not only lost the weight, but the scoot too. )

In any event, our good Bud, Bear, is - as always - on the money: the subhuman(s) you brought your scoot to are full of more crap than is likely gumming up your carb. Nothing makes me angrier than an alleged 'pro shop' who are neither pro nor competent. Take the bike back and demand they do as they charged you for - or return your money. Period.

About 96.7% of ALL Spree engine problems are carb related. In most cases, a thorough cleaning (emphasis on 'thorough') is all that's needed. However, failing that, there are some honorable guys who'll sell you a freshly rebuilt carb, saving you the trouble.

Just my 2 centavos, adjusted for the current economic collapse.

Stock???? don't believe it. My stock 1985 does 30 on the speedo and 27.9 mph on the GPS.

[KillinSpree]

I believe it due to the fact i just sold an 87 spree bone stock that did 36mph!

I believe Zac put a 44mm BBK in my Spree. It moves pretty good.
