Wrong, the Spree has the AF05E as does the SB50 Elites yet neither has a variator.

The CT intake manifold is typically for bigger carbs, 24mm+ but I want to use it with a small Carb. is there a way to make the Carb output bigger? or to make the intake smaller? Where did you get that idea? It will work with anything you want to mount on it, even a stock carb. Here is a CT with an ...

paulpauly7 wrote:put a little smear of grease around the rubber gasket on the bottom of the carb befor you put the bowl back on this will help the seal

It's an o-ring seal, if it is bad, grease will just be washed away by the gas.

Where can i get the upgrade for the reads and intake? mainly the reads because ill probably polish the intake and call that good.Also where can i find a kickstart assembly? the honda elite sb50p intake and reeds will fit you will have to add another nipple for the oil though really easy to do. AS f...

With such a small swept volume these engines displace, it can be difficult to get an acurate reading with most compression testers which are designed much larger engines. Due to the volume of the hose, adapter and gauge result in low readings The rule of thumb that I have used for decades, is just ...

Anyway.... you guys sure are getting "all excited" for my Iowa Spree. :b2t: Gee, sorry, I didn't think a little story and some info about Iowa Sprees was Hijacking your thread. Somebody was trying to get some more top speed by removing the thrust washer and squeezing the pulley halves tog...

A set of small round wire brushes chucked into a drill motor works well for an assembled motor. As mentioned before, do not damage the piston or rings but if you just move the piston to BDC you will not have that issue.

Sprees do NOT have a variator and do NOT shift. As to the noise, you caused it so go back in an fix it.

Yes.

Sure, use a better quality oil and you won't have the problem to start with. To remove the carbon, remove the exhaust and crap it out of the port. I'll bet he meant "SCRAPE"... as I'm not sure how to crap it out.... :woot: LOL! Hey spell check only works if the word is spelled wrong, not ...

No, the Spree will handle 290 pounds forever, at least mine has for the last 18 years.

Hi everyone, this is my very first post here. I have a 1984 Spree that I can't get to idle correctly. With the float bowl removed from the carb, shining a flashlight through the pilot hole, should you definitively be able to see a speck of light? Is the hole a straight shot from top to bottom? Pics...

I've never seen a Iowa Spree that was actually registered in Iowa. Judging by the rust on the muffler, etc., it would make sense to just go ahead and replace the main bearings and seals now. Like any 2-stroke that has been stored "open"[no plug], it will only be a matter of time til the b...
