I am rebuilding a 86 spree. I got it to run decent from 0-15. No Top End.
I still need an air filter, currently there is no air filter and the cover is off, will this cause it to bog down by getting too much air?

Well if you like to redo your engine from running lean go on ahead.
I myself would get a new filter..they are cheap afterall and keep dirt out of your engine.

they both are right. A filter is needed for a few things.
1- it gives your bike the right amount of restriction. Making the bike have all arround good performance. (your problem)
2- No filter will make your bike run lean. If the bike runs lean it will fry and rebuilding the motor is not fun.
3- it keeps dirt and crap out of your motor. I know it might not sound like much, but it is.
Just head to honda and get one. The after market ones dont work well on a spree.
