Why did my 86 spree run 10 mph faster without the aircleaner?

Because the old one was dirty?

Most sprees will not even run without the airbox.

If yours did 40 without it, it would be the first time in spree history.

I will try it again tommorow i guess Maybe even get film of it?

Have you changed the jets in the carb?

If you run your spree with no airbox, you risk blowing it up from running too lean.

A spree at 40 mph??

Yes please do id like to see this

I doubt it the guy i bought it from wasnt the smartest in the world?? Yeah there is a good engine blowing possibility but ive got another spree engine and 300 bucks

Do you have 2.5 tires?

The spreedometer is not very accurate.

GPS verified 40mph would be very impressive.

Everything is stock tires and all, Idk how it was possible but i was flying at 40. Possibly the ridiculous power to weight ratio?

Im not calling you a liar, but its highly unlikely that your spree does 40mph. Even if you are a very small asian girl, it probably would top @ 35mph...

Do you need glasses?

The stock speedo only reads 35 mph. How do you know it is doing 40? Oh and down hill don't count.

Power/weight has more to do with acceleration than top speed.

You were probably going 35 tops. The spree speedometer is not very accurate with a 2.5 tire.
