1986 NQ50 Honda Spree won't turn over

[tstein]

I have a NQ50 Honda spree from when my mom was a kid and I am attempting to fix it. we broke it out of my grandmas garage about 6 ish years ago and she took it to a garage mechanic but we didn't have the keys for it at the time and he managed to get it running, however he cut wires and completely destroyed the ignition by jamming a screwdriver in attempt to over ride the ignition switch. i need help with the wiring to the ignition and maybe other parts. I also believe that there is a problem to do with something internally. when I kick start it, it just puffs from the air of the flywheel and comes out of the other side of the carb(without filter on), no air/gas/anything makes it all the way through the muffler. I have cleaned the carb already. also I just emptied the gas tank after sitting for who knows how long and I've noticed small specks of rust at the bottom of the tank. I'm just looking for any help anyone has to offer because this is my first project like this.
Thanks!

Sounds like the mag side crank seal is poped out, the manual out line the ignition wires but is hard to read so if you need visual im sure somkne here can help, chopchop001 or tazland on here has a igniton and key set her sells. Take the tank off, fill with white vinigar and let it sit a week while you fix everything else up and it should be easy enough to fill a quarter way with gas, shake it around real good then dump repeat 3 or 4 times then fill it up and it shoukd be good to go. If your also getting smoke out from the carb your reeds are either stuck or the pressure lost fro. The popped out seal is causing it to not close right. Muffler is clogged with bugs, dirt, oil, crust, whatever. Heat up your grill to like 350*f ouside and throw the pipe straight on the grill or a hot fire will work too, just outside and air the holes away from the house and people they will blow flames. You may also wanna change out your tires too, after sitting that long they probably dry rotted. Sounds like you have the same issues my bike had. Brings back nightmares, but if you take your time and do things right it should be fine and not to hard just time consuming to do. If you want you can upload videos, pictures, etc to help us help you. If your not too tech savvy, then I can get you to text me them and I can host them to the site for you. Were here to help, welcome to the fourms.

thank you! I will definitely give an update once all of that is done or attempted!

For the flywheel you may need a flywheel puller.

I recently restored two 1986 Spree "twins". The first one hadn't run since 2001, and the second one hadn't run since 1989.

The first one, just needed new gas, a new battery, tires, air filter and a carb cleaning. I didn't even drain the oil and it started on the second kick. It blew a lot of blue smoke for a week or so, but it's run fine ever since.

The second one that sat much longer, needed the gas tank and oil tanks drained and wiped clean (a trick for cleaning inside tanks, is one of those 30" long, flexible, four-pronged things you can buy in auto places that are used for retrieving dropped tools or parts from your engine. Just fold up absorbent paper towel and secure it firmly into the prongs). The oil was "lumpy" coming out of the tank so I pulled off the oil line to the oil pump and the oil in the tube seemed pretty good so I didn't bother pulling the pump off. I blew out the gas, vacuum and oil lines plus a carb cleaning and blowing out all the holes in it. A new air filter and sparkplug that you can buy on here is a must too.

Both needed carb throttle stop and air screw tweaking too. Also the second one would crank, but refused to start until I stuck a long screwdriver up the exhaust pipe to clear out the accumulated "crud" after 27 years.

Make sure you check out the things I did on my bikes, on your bike as a minimum.......Good luck Buddy!

Both run great now and can haul my 195 pound body at 30 to 32 MPH on a flat surface with no problem.
