Just got a Spree for 5$, need help

[bradthreee]

They need a 3 digit code off of the back of the ignition. Its the last 3 digits of a series of numbers and it starts with a letter then ends in 2 numbers. Example is ...D06...

This is how the kick start goes on.

That is NOT how the Spree kick starter goes. The Spree kick starter lever goes forward not back like the picture shows.

Good point Bear. I think toad was just showing how the lever is held on and he mentioned the cover pictured is off an aero.

Ok, so i dont have a key and hotwired it(as I thought), but then see that I actually put the two wires that connect to the sidecasing together and not the ignition... Is it going to affect anything if Just those 2 wires are connected after I hotwire the ignition?

If you disconnect the ignition switch, then nothing will turn on and that is why you have to jumper power and ground to the starter solenoid. With everything else off you can't hurt anything.

Do you have a picture of the starter solenoid? I just tried jumping it with a car battery and nothing, probably because the ignition isnt on. I dont know what to do from here, please give me a guide?

Thanks for the guide bear, ill print it out soon.

Ok, alittle soldering and 3 screws later, I got the ignition off. Idk what to do from here, can someone tell me how to hotwire it with these wires?

And where is the VIN number I need to get a key made? I contacted a locksmith and he said with some number he can make me a key. I cant find a number anywere on the ignition itself.

Connect the 2 black wires then touch the red wire to those to run the starter. The green is ground so hook that up with the black wires.

I wouldn't bridge it. Fuse are cheap so just buy a new one it is a 7A I think.

That is wrong!

The spree ingnition is simple. connect red and black so your tail light , brake lights and turn signals works.
Tape the other two wires off, you will not need them. Stop your engine with the kill switch.
None of those wires "run the starter" it is not a car.

That start button combined with the brake switch, activates the starter relay, that powers up the starter.

Well I was just going by how to do it for a car. You could still do it the way I said just tape the red wire on and pull the brake and hit the start button.

Remember that you cannot electric start the spree unless the kicker cover is in place.

if you are not sure if your starter works, you can connect directly to the starter wires to test it.

[tommy9345]

How does it know if the kicker cover is in place. And It actually doesn't have a kcikstart, the belt cover doesnt have a kickstart lever joint. And theres 2 black wires, so whic one would I connect to the red to start it?
