Re: Ignition issue? Can't figure this out

This symptom points toward a pilot jet being compromised by debris or varnish. When throttle is closed, and you expect the engine to idle, it will die because there isn't enough fuel passing through the idle circuit to sustain ignition. A good cleaning seems to be in order. :urban: Thanks I ended u...

Re: Spree bogs down

Awesome I will try and locate a lid one of my sprees came with a home made metal lid and the other without a lid. I can't find a lid anywhere but I cant go over 25 either.

Hello, Bought a spree last week, rode good for a few days, now it barely runs. I stripped the carb, now using bolt and nut. I cleaned the carb and can blow air through both jets but I cannot see straight through the small jet next to the main jet. I can see light if I hold it angled. Is this suppose...
