Re: 86 Spree not running
I wiped the plug off and put it back in and it fired up. While it was running it was blowing white smoke like crazy. I had put a bit of seafoam in the gas however before this and previously I had sprayed a bit of starting fluid into the airbox to try to get it to run. Not sure what the white smoke w...

Re: 86 Spree not running
Before I take the carb off and clean it I decided to check the plug. Got the plug out and it was wet and had black build up on it. I'm wondering if this could be why it wouldn't start. I wiped it off and got the black gunk off the top of it and I'm gunna try again. I'm hoping I can get it to start u...

Re: 86 Spree not running
Yikes, I guess I'll try to get that accomplished. Im just feeling frustrated because I've had this thing for 7 years and never had a problem and then all of a sudden I can't get it started. I've even been having a difficult time finding a good parts store online.

Now, I've been trying to get it cleaned and in top notch mechanical condition and I can't get it started. Today I took the air filter cover off and noticed part of the...

Re: Newbie-Speedo cable ? and mirrors
For some reason I can't view these manuals. Im guessing the speedometer cable hooks up behind the speedometer and at one of the tires? I'm hoping the front, although I glanced down there today and it looked like everything was hooked up. This d*** thing I've had it for 7 years and never had a proble...

Re: '86 Spree electric start problem

Newbie-Speedo cable ? and mirrors
Hi I'm new to this site. I have an 86 spree that I bought in 05 and still have today. When I bought it the lady said the speedometer cable had been disconnected, thus no speedometer or odometer function. I was wondering how easy it would be to hook back up so I can get it working again. Also, my mir...
