Poor Acceleration 84 Honda Spree

Post by muppet »

Hi all:

My 1984 Honda Spree runs great -- except for one thing.. the accelaratrion is really poor in what would be considered "first gear"- once it gets going -- it runs fine... any suggestions?

You can clean out your combustion chamber to restore accelleration. also check your muffler tip, if thats clogged your whole exhaust might be clogged.

If you have a hard time starting out but the engine seems to be running fine, check the clutch also. It may be worn clutch plates.
