Keeping Spree Elite Aero 50cc and Gyro Alive!

Thanks! I took the carb off and checked the jet. Jet and float bowl are clean! Now I'm waiting for a battery to come in the mail, so I'll update when I drain gas and install new battery!motormike wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 5:41 pm If it starts, but won't hold a good idle, it's almost always the idle jet plugged.
If it starts and has a run-away throttle, then there is an air leak, OR throttle slide has been installed 180 degrees off.
Be aware that the air filter and airbox are critical to proper running on these tiny engines.
Just trying to give you some basic knowledge about Spree.
Good luck and report back here....motor
My battery came and I cleaned off the terminals as they work quotes corroded. I gave the electric start a push and not three pushes later, it started right up! I thought I was gonnna have to do more work but no! Thanks for The help!motormike wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 5:41 pm If it starts, but won't hold a good idle, it's almost always the idle jet plugged.

Thanks! I found out it's a 86' and it didn't take much to get going! I put on new fuel lines and a new battery and it fired right up after three pushes of the electric start!

Look up and see if you see the VIN sticker on the frame. If you can see it, the year will be in large font on the sticker, and you won't have to guess about the year. Then put in a new fully charged battery, and hook it up properly. Then squeeze one of the brake handles until the brake light comes on, and while holding it, push on the starter button. If the engine turns over, but doesn't fire, most likely, there is no gasoline in the carb, or the jets in the carb are blocked. Examine the spark plug, and if it looks dry, squirt in some gasoline/oil mix into the spark plug hole, put the spark plug back in, and try starting it again. If it fires and runs for a few seconds, you know the spark is ok. If it doesn't continue running, do a search on the forum for how to clean the carb and follow the instructions in the post.
