Re: Trying to resurrect a Spree, locked up kickstart/starter
Thank you! The flywheel is covered in rust so I've had to assault it a few times w/ WD-40 so I can get it all taken apart with the help from a puller. I've reached my hands into where the fuel pump was and pulled out pencil shaving sized metal shards and even some metal the size of a grain of rice. ...

Re: Trying to resurrect a Spree, locked up kickstart/starter
Thanks for the responses! It would roll counter-clockwise but get stuck rolling clockwise. I took off the engine and removed parts (carb, fuel lines etc.) for cleaning and further inspection.

Trying to resurrect a Spree, locked up kickstart/starter
So I've just acquired what I think to be an 86 Spree 50 from a guy who said one day it just stopped working. I pulled the carburetor out which had about a 1/2 inch of filth on the bottom bowl that I scraped out and a fully clogged jet. I cleaned that up, reattached the hoses and electric choke and d...
