hello, earlier my spree was running perfect when i got home it was running low on oil and all i had was some 2-cycle outboard oil. So I put it in and i tried started it it idled good and then if i give it gas no matter how much it just idles for a few seconds and then gets a sudden burst of power for a quick second and then acts like its just idleing and then just keeps getting power boost and will not run smooth. I already cleaned the carb 3 times. The only thing I can think of it being is the different oil. If anybody thinks they know whats the problem please let me know, Thanks

id definitley change the oil to some good quality 2stroke oil. gn2 from honda dealership worked best for me.
also check ur jets for debris and airbox and carb gasket for leaks.

Wrong oil. It's too thick. Drain your Oil tank. remove your spark plug, clean your spark plug. Get a can of Seafoam, and pour about 8 cap fulls directly into your cylinder. With the spark plug still removed, operate the kick start about 10 times slowly. Replace and reconnect the spark plug.
Now, dump the entire remaining can of seafoam into your gas tank. Refill the oil tank with HONDA 2 CYCLE INJECTION OIL PLEASE!, then restart your engine (may take a number of tries to start, please use the kick start to start your bike). Once it starts, DONT TOUCH THE THROTTLE! just let it idle for a good 5 minues. If it has problems staying started, then go ahead and feather the throttle to keep it running.
Once the 5 minutes are up, take it for a ride at top speed for about 10 minutes. Your good to go. Seafoam will clean the thick oil out of your carbourator, as well as putting it in your cylinder will clean out the outboard oil that got in their that was causing your plug to foul.
So, YOUR GOOD TO GO!

Using "Sea and Snow" right now. $12 per gallon, or so. I don't use it in the big outboard (Mercury 115 hp), since I don't think it is TCW-III rated, but use it in an Evinrude 9.9 on a fishing boat. I use the "Sea and Snow" in my scooter, weedeaters, backpack leaf blower, etc. Probably use "Sea and Snow" in my snowmobile. Last year I think I used Quicksilver outboard oil.
