86 stock Spree issue, suggestions welcome

My cross reference says it fits 151 different scooter years and models.

The previous owner of my Spree was running without exhaust gasket and my plastics are melted at that same area.... There were other issues including a missing woodruff key causing incorrect ignition timing so I cant say with certainty, but my vote is "probably".

I installed a new exhaust gasket and air filter yesterday, now I can hit every pot hole and bump like a champ I put a little extra oil in the gas while it was running like that so I wouldnt hurt my engine running with a possible leak. Now I gotta burn all that gas out so I can readjust the air/fuel screw to run just right. It has to warm up in order to make the oil thinner so the gas will combust but no big deal. I rode the * out of it today without a problem other than bogging on take off after I let it kewl down at the gas station because of the oil in the gas thanks for all the helpful advice guys

Was the exhaust gasket you installed part #1 in the attached diagram? My spree bogs when I hit bumps. I am decarbonizing my muffler soon so I might as well check if that gasket is missing on mine.

Of course, my spree bogs down when I go down hills too lol but it doesn't seem to stall, just recovers a second or 2 later. Hoping its my malfunctioned bystarter bouncing around because a new one is in the mail headed to my house.


EDIT: holy * I have terrible luck... I thought this topic was from THIS YEAR. How unlucky that the dates matched up so nicely. SORRY!
