Replacement reeds for an 85 Spree

Post by Buff71 »

I think I need new reeds for my 85 Spree. I can barely see light between the cage and the reeds. It's a very very small gap. Where can I find 84-85 reeds? Or can I use an 86-87 reed cage? I am thinking not, but I thought I would ask. Any help is appreciated.

I have a no start condition. I know the bystarter is junk and I will be ordering a new one of those. But for now, I have very little vacuum at the airbox side of the carb. I have checked the main seal behind the belt pulley and it is ok. The reeds may or may not fix my vacuum problem, but I figure that 35 year old reeds with 3500 miles on them are due to be replaced anyway.
