Re: Spree carb is junk?

I just put it on last night. I haven’t touched the jet yet but the bike definitely likes the pipe.

Re: Spree carb is junk?

Yeah I’m gonna swap it up with a different one tonight. I’m confused as to what could go wrong with the current one. Main jet is clean. Emulsion tube clear. Idle circuit is clean . All passages clean… primer circuit clean

Re: Spree carb is junk?

Another thing I always thought was unrelated. The tail light will fade out once in a while. And for some reason it will only kickstart with a full battery. .. any ideas.. thanks man

Re: Spree carb is junk?

It’s gotta be the carb. I’m not new to carbs especially spree carbs so that makes me more frustrated.the air screw didn’t have a spring so I found one that fits. Other than that everything has Ben cleaned just like my other sprees. Any ideas on what I should check.?

Re: Spree carb is junk?

I’ve soaked it and used air as well as a small piece of wire. I have never seen daylight through a spree slowjet before. Diameter is so tiny. Even under 3/4 to full throttle not much power.. would this mean that slow jet is the culprit.?

Re: Spree aftermarket led blinker

OK thanks. Appreciate the information. All four of mine just stay on. I’m not very worried about power savings I just want them to blink accordingly. What the simplest way to achieve this. I still have the original flasher relay right now.. cheers

Re: 85 Honda Spree - petcock issue

I’ve purchased some through eBay as long as there listed for an 85 they worked for me… I’ve also drilled one out and just added an inline manual shutoff.
