problem after tune up
Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 10:18 pm
hi
i recently brought my 86 honda spree down from my cottage after years and years. it used to just sit there and get used every now and then. every time i rode it i would EASILY get up to 60 km/h. so when i brought it home i did a quick tune up. new spark plug, blew off ALL sand with compressor, cleaned the air filter, but i believe i put in 10W- 30 and not 40 or whatever it recommends. i know i put something less then what it asked, but it still works good. then my friend came over and tuned it up a bit too. he sprayed carb cleaner into the carb from the airbox. he also did it while running.next, he put lithium grease all over the belt and clutch and all around that case. i told him not too because it would slip. so i tried it out after he did that and of course the belt kept slipping. so i let it dry up after a few days and it was back to normal and everything is running smooth.but now i can only reach 50 km/h and then it pulls no further?any help would be nice
