Cracked Carb

Post by knikey25@ku.edu »

Hello All

My Spree I inherited wasn't running great and I Have cleaned the carb multiple times. Finally I noticed a small crack in the carb, in other words it is not salvageable. Does anyone know where to get a new carb/ aftermarket carb? it is an 87 NQ50 Spree. I appreciate any help. Just want to get it back on the road as this was my gramps favorite ride and he passed away. I am sure he would love to have it on the road again. Thanks for the help!

IHMO - stay away from the aftermarket carb, used clean OEM is a safer bet.
For a used Spree carb, put a posting into our Wanted/For Sale forum.

Can you tell us which piece of the carb has a crack (bowl or top) - might be easier to find a piece than whole carb.

Should have out that in my post. It is the top side of the carb. Opposite the intake side.

Sometimes you can find just the carb body on eBay.
