86' spree: Low end power

[Spree<3]

Any ideas on ways to improve my low end power? Take off is very slugish and I want more

Lose 3/4's of your weight or do a motor swap.

is it properly tuned ?


mine had a HUGE lean spot from about 5-15mph, untill i figured out the idle and mixture settings better

Just lost 20 lbs... but doubt I'll be able to get down to 46 lbs any time soon.

I have it tuned pretty good. Just changed belt and did a full carb clean...helped mid and high,but low is same.

No mods that will help - other than Dio swap?

.....Hey,...Spree<3....let some skinny, trustworthy, friend ride it and see how it does....I weigh 195 now and have seen 225 as well as 165,......Little Spree run sluggish take-off when I'm 200+...OK when 195-175.....much better under 165.....

Trustworthy friends?? Where do I find one of those?

I'm at about 175 and its not doing well untill I hit about 12mph. My daughter - at 110 - rode it and it was still very slow on take off. And uphill... fegedaboudit. Unfortunately, I live in a hilly area

I'll have to check my airbox/intake again... make sure I got it hooked up tight.

Spree's have low end power? Since when?

Get a big block and the carb, intake and adapter from Tazland001. Other than that you are NOT gonna have low end power with a Spree. Or get a variated engine and swap it in to the Spree.
