Also if it means anything, the sparkplug was wet with gasoline

If you mean the sparkplug plug that goes on top of it when it's in the motor I did try that, there was no spark...and I just went out and bought a new sparkplug and wound up with the same result, the motor just goes weh-weh-weh-weh. The motor itself does move

What do you mean shove it into the coil wire and let it hang there?

I sucked on the vacuum line and gas did come out of the other one

It's a rat-tat tat sound with no fire

Thanks for the input guys, yeah currently the engine will not turn over, I'm going to go try out the mentioned procedure and will let you know the result.

Hey all, I was wondering as to how I can go about determining if fuel is getting to the carb in my 84 Honda spree, thanks

My 84 Spree has been in the garage all winter and I am now getting it out for the spring. I tried starting it up but the engine made no effort to turn over, it would just chug until the battery was dead. I figured the carb must not be getting any or enough fuel, so I pulled the fuel cable from the c...

Greetings: The element that is most likely to lock up is the cable. Unscrew the carb top and tug to see what's up. I suspect you don't have a kickstarter, so remove the belt cover and see if the engine is hydrolocked from a winter's worth of pump leakage. I unscrewed the throttle on top of the carb...

You mean the grip just wont twist? Like its stuck? Does the motor spin when the starter is engaged or is that locked too?

Yeah the grip doesn't turn at all like it's stuck and it sounds like the motor is spinning when I engage the starter

I put my 1984 Honda Spree in my garage for the winter and got it back out today since the weather is so nice, my battery was fully charged and I tried to start it, but the engine would not turn over AND THE THROTTLE DOESNT MOVE AT ALL. Is there an adjustment I can make to possibly loosen the throttl...

I have a 1984 Honda spree and the max speed is 25 mph, my friends can go from 30-35 and even to 40 sometimes, I've heard a tune up can speed your spree up, what can speed it up and if a tune up is the way, how does one do that?

It's starts up immediately after but will just die when it idles I recently replaced the air filter as well

I have an 84 Honda spree that I recently got running after not being used for a while, but when come to a stop with no throttle it makes a "chug chug chug chug" noise and dies, so I have to start it up again real quick. I have adjusted the idle so I know it is not that does anyone know of ...

i have an 84 spree and i have had issues with it starting inconsistently, it only had an electric start. I thought maybe if I got a kick start it would start manually. I ordered one and installed it gave it some kicks and its started then died almost instantly. Occasionally it has run good but no lu...
