I have an 85' Spree and it idles fine. Top speed is good around 30 MPH. However, acceleration from 5-15 is horrible. I have to fan the throttle to get it to maximize the acceleration. Even doing this it still seem sluggish. I have cleaned the carb, any ideas on where to start.

Do you have an air filter, in place and in good shape?

My filter seems good, I could not find anywhere on how to test for compression. I found a section that says "Connect compression tester".
