What belt did you get?

With the Spree you start out in High gear, hence the clutch gets hot.

No, the bystarter can only enrichen the mixture as long as it is installed. If removed it can cause a lean condition.

thanks bear im very glad to know my bystarter wont kill my spree as for the belt i bought a 1cmx63.5 it works for now i gotta go to honda this weekend and order me a belt!
next a bystarter stupid electric parts expensive lol thats life!
thanks again well off to work
scott

The stock belt is 628x11.4x30 mm. The number I have is Dunlop DSL AX-24

thank you sir. the stupid belt i bought worked for 25 miles but i got to work and back i just hope it is a belt issue and not a thrashed cylinder time to go to honda.

i have a gates 7240 and it works very well. alot cheeper at $9

thanx spree-rider ill check it out. i know one thing for shure duralast 13250 no good.
bongs r better
scott

BONGS are always better. but i do think that a hukah is much better.

well i guess that is true but only with a few good buds....er friends and dont forget the doritos

Puff cheetos, a 4 loko, and a couple rockstars and im set.oh, And the homies.

good bud? I got the best. i got them PINE CONS . . . of heavenly swwet, delicous, mouth watering, DANK

ahhhhhhh if only to live in the northwest heck the northeast would do im really REALLY getting tired of the south.

ok so upon further inspection while waiting for my belt to come in i notice a large chunk of motherloving carbon restricting the exaust tip,pull it out with my trusty needle nose torque back all that was untourqed and fire it up...........whammo 22-25 up hill 30-32 on flat 35-38 downhill and thats with a cruddy auto belt cant wait for the honda part to come in! does anybody have a picture of a known glass filled muffler for an 84 spree? if so please post it here i have an odd feeling mine is and before i set it a blaze i wanna be shure its not.
thanks
