Need some help.
1985 Spree was running great and suddenly wont' take high speed.
It has a new gas tank.
New petcock
new gas lines
rebuily carb

Ran it for about 10 days then it started to sputter and died. I cleaned the carb real good but it still does the same thing. Idels but won't take throttle without breaking down.

Try cleaning the carb again
I'm guessing u may have to clean your muffler also

Are you running injector oil or premix?

As far as I know injection.
What difference would it make as long as it was 2 cycle oil?

Almost anything besides injection oil will just create a hassle. It'll really clog up a muffler and take away alot of the power from a spree. If your not sure clean out all that other oil from the tank and lines and replace it with 2 stroke injector

injection is more like oil (but has more stuff to make it burn, kerosine i think)
Premix is more of a liquid to "blend" with the gas before being put in the fuel tank

It will run on premix for awhile until the stuff gums up the plug, head, and exhaust. Then it will overheat and blow the piston, lowering compression until it won't run. Lots of dead scoots here b/c of this failure.
