Overheating symptoms

Post by Farfignugin »

My spree has just recently come to a problem where it dies out with the covers on but runs fine with the covers off. Is this an overheating problem? Might it be because of high heat weather? Soloutions??

Thanks

Are you talking about the side panel or the engine shrouds? Hope you're not running without the shrouds.

I was trying to talk someone into building side scoops onto their Spree about a year ago...
