I'm a Spree owner now

Post by flat350 »

Picked up an 87 Spree last week,fed it a new battery,did a 1/2 a** carb cleaning,some cable adjusting,and a little clean up.Starts good now(kick or elec)runs good up until about 25 mph and then a little bit of a burbble til you back off the throttle then it cleans up.I'm guessing it needs a good cleaning of the carb/main jet area if there is one in that tiny thing,I did read up on checking the coil too.Nice site here with some good info.

crean the crab !

i assume you replaced the spark plug too


good luck with it , and have fun with it. I found mine in a shed after sitting for 10 years, and after soaking the carb for a few days, it now does 36mph (downhill) !! i've put a thousand miles on it in the last 3 months :D
