Re: Fuel petcock with "reserve"
The ebay ones are a crapshoot. Different years Spree’s have different thread pitch on the tank bung. The ebay sellers are 75% inaccurate on fitment. I say this because I had to buy 4 different petcocks from 4 different sellers before I got one with the correct threads. I made the rookie mistake of ...

Re: 85 Spree Won’t Start, Clean Carb, New Spark Plug

85 Spree Won’t Start, Clean Carb, New Spark Plug
Ok, here’s the rub. I have searched this forum up and down, trying to find answers for my problems, to no avail. So i’ve decided to make an account and a post. I bought my Spree in May, with under 700 original miles. Dude said he had recently cleaned the carb and it ran pretty well at that point. I ...
