Remeber they do idle rich, you gotta pull the pug at wide open.

There lies the problem. Try holding you hand over the intake holes while cranking, replace the spark plug(they might look and function fine but under compression is a different story).

I'll definitly try that thanks.
I did buy a hotter spark plug in order to get a cleaner burn, but the spark lead wont fit the new plug:(

run the plug recommended by the manual, they dont "burn hotter" they remove heat slower.

I my have been led down the garden path by the parts dealer- I went to get a NGK BPR6HS as per the downloaded service manual, but all he had in stock was a BPR4HS. The current plug in the head is a BP5HS

And a BPR4HSA for cold weather below 5°C or 41°F.
Or a BPR8HSA for extended high speed riding.
What is top speed for a Spree really be considered "high speed"?

Considering its the highest the poor little bike can go, yes its high speed.
