most people will sell used cdi fairly cheap (like 10$) so they are normaly cheaper the ones on ebay are high and thats y they r still on their.

Yeah, but I figured at the time I'd rather go for something brand new, and the deal seemed good.

I run one of these on my 85 engine, and I'm pretty impressed. I don't notice much/any power increase, but it makes the bike run, lol. Unfortunately I didn't see Bear's post until after running mine for 2+ months, so I can't say anything about lasting long. However, it's cheaper than the genuine Hond...

I have the same problem on my '85, but not as bad. Mine still moves me, but if you give it like 1/4 throttle, the motor revs up high and the clutch takes a few moments to kick in, then slowly starts moving you. There's black dust all over the inside of the belt cover, and my almost new belt has sign...

I went ahead and bought the panel pieces. He said they were from a Honda Spree that had a kick starter, so that had to be an 86' or newer. Also, according to Wikipedia : 1985: For 1985, the Spree logo changed from a smaller italic font to a larger cursive font. The white exterior color was replaced...

It's just a stock rebuild kit, not a BBK, couldn't find a BBK anywhere. I've maybe put 20 miles on it since then. Yeah, I'd try a bit less gas in there. Still use more than normal, but I'll bet that's most of you're problem. Here's something you can also try. Drain the carburetor and fill the fuel ...

Allright, first mod for my Spree. I have another really cool mod coming up for my Spree involving the glove box, so check back for that one. So, without further a do, here's how I installed an '87 glove box onto my '85. OTHER PART TO GLOVEBOX MOD HERE: http://hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&...

LOVE the chrome belt cover! Did you just have the outside chromed? I know usually small things are dip-chromed inside and out. Where did you get yours done? I may have to steal that idea from you.

I like some of it. Found this kind of funny. ANYONE WITH EPILEPSY, DO NOT WATCH!!!

I recently replaced the bystarter on my 86 spree which was bump sensitive. It was no longer bogging/stalling on bumps or down hills. Unfortunately my throttle cable finally cashed out so it's full throttle 24/7. I will have more info after i swap throttle cables with my 85 spree. That had to be sca...

I've just running the 16:1 to break in the new top end and was planning to switch to 32:1 after I get some miles on it. Maybe I should switch sooner? I've been taking the spark plug out and putting a few drops of gas from the tank into the cylinder, I 'd read that about starting fluid on on this si...

Okay... So I think I've traced my engine problems to the bystarter. It's really bump-sensitive, and I took it apart for the last time and had my auto shop teacher dunk it in the gunk tank over the weekend. Blew it all out and used spray cleaner and compressed air like 3 times. Tested the bystarter, ...

Got an 85 spree a couple years ago and I've yet to have any fun with it. First things first, you should know this is my first small engine project. I'm learning as I go, asking for help here and there from a couple mechanics I know. I bought and read the manual and have scoured this forum and the t...

So, anyone know a place that sells a carb kit for these?
