Anyone know the size of the Spree carb idle jet?

The tube leading into the idle portion is not a 'jet' in that it can't be replaced. The actual jet is machined in the floor of the intake.
The main jet is replaceable and is usually a stock #62.

On the carbs for my '82 CB900F, the idle jet is slightly larger than a #80 drill bit. These are available at hobby shops and work in extreme cases. Again, non-replaceable idle jet.

No idea Spree's are, but unless it's mechanically clogged, a toothpick should clean it out.
