Which way to install cylinder gasket and head gasket.

I am putting the head back on my Spree. The base gasket has printing on one side and the head gasket has a groove.

Groove up or down?

Brand printing up or down?

Re: HELP! Piston circlip stuck to magneto behind flywheel.

I was hoping i didnt have to pull the flywheel as I dont have the tools to do it.

Hypothetically, if you drop a circlip in the crankcase, can you flush it out or do you have to split the case?

I am installing the new piston set. I managed to get the first circlip in and then whilst trying to pry the second one in, it slipped and fell behind the flywheel and was eaten up by the magnets. is there anyway to get the little guy out with having to pull the flywheel? When I turn the flywheel ove...

Re: How rare is the shasta white/lollipop green color scheme?

white-greenspree.jpg white-greenspree.jpg This is the one I'm referring to. It's definitely a 1986 model. I have read here and there that it may have been a limited production. I would like to gauge how rare it is, whether its worth hunting for one and how much you would expect to pay for it. Would...

How rare is the shasta white/lollipop green color scheme?

How rare is the shasta white/lollipop green color scheme? Is it that hard to come by and if so how much would you pay for one in running condition?

Snagged a tidy 87 Spree for $250.

Lack of interest at work led me to check CL for scoots. Found a Red 87 Spree in good condition for $250. :werd: Only a few scratches on the plastic, tiny tear in the seat cover and "apparently" only 432 miles. What is the likely hood that someone has already gone "around the clock&quo...

Re: Looking for a performance clutch - 1986 Spree/NQ50

Thanks. The clutch was definitely slipping. A new clutch, belt and springs did the trick. It rides smoothly but yes the spree is pretty gutless between 0-10mph especially on inclines.

What would you pay for an Elite 125?

Hey folks. What would you pay for an '84 Elite 125 in good condition with 11k miles that only needs a shock replaced? I am also on the lookout for another 50cc ride in the Atlanta area. Let me know if you've got something in the 0-$400 price range in good condition. Non-starters are fine as long as ...

Re: Looking for a performance clutch - 1986 Spree/NQ50

So from my further research it seems that there are no aftermarket parts for the Spree.

If anyone knows otherwise let us all know.

Looking for a performance clutch - 1986 Spree/NQ50

Hi I'm new to the forum. I bought a little red spree back in February. I fiddled with it for a while: *derusted the tank with Evaporust (works really well) see: http://www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Removing_rust_from_a_gas_tank *changed the gunky fuel lines *cleaned the petcock and in-tank screen. *tried t...
