Re: For sale: Spree Floor Mats, Petcock Covers, Battery Cove

From Brad:

Can you update the thread for me and let them know that I just moved houses this weekend and I will have some black petcock covers, a few floor mats left, and one or two black glove boxes?

I'm stuck until the site is updated.

Re: 1984 spree with 31 miles on it

okay so i just went for a 2 mile ride. runs great after 15 miles an hour but have to feather the throttle to get it to idle at all and to get to 15 is tough as you have very little power and must feather the throttle.

after 15 mph it is fine.... took the carb apart again and cleaned it... no change

Re: 1984 spree with 31 miles on it

Tank is new old stock, petcock is brand new as of last night. The flow out the gas line is pretty solid and consistent. As for the internals I felt certain it was clean but I guess I will start there when I take it back apart.
