Compression

Post by matt »

my 86 spree seems to turn over very easy(i will run a compression test this weekend) what do i normaly need to get if it has low compression. rings and gaskets or usally a piston to. it seems to run ok but i never rode another scooter. i belive the odometer reads 6000miles. think i should invest the money to rebuild it all. (i have plans of selling soon. i own the spree cause i got it for free but i already own a truck.
Ducktape fixes everything.

1st three would be exactly what you need to have enough compression. look at about ~$50-70 for a complete top end rebuild, not including cylinder. pretty cheap and worth it if it works.
projects galore :nerd:
