Re: HELP!!! SPREE DIED!!!

I also noticed that a clip from the kickstarter came which was causing a rattle right before it died on me....also did the compression test and read 105 psi so its good I assume.

The float bowl is full should I drain it?

How can I check for spark on the sparkplug?

Re: HELP!!! SPREE DIED!!!

Don't worry you have nothing to apologize for, you don't know if you don't ask. You can replace the crank seals there are two, and the crank bearings. They are the seals that seal the crank shaft to the crank case. You have to split the cases and pull the engine apart but its a common thing that ha...

Re: HELP!!! SPREE DIED!!!

4 miles strait shouldn't seize anything if everything is working right carb and intake tract and if the engine is getting oil properly. My spree will go WOT all day long and then some. Is other oil in your oil tank, is the oil pump actually pumping oil? The screen in the oil tank could be clogged u...

Re: 87 spree trouble after cold start

First thing: these small engines will require some warm-up time before the internal temps are up enough to fire when throttled. The introduction of cold air will cause stumble until warmed. The fact that it starts right up indicates NO problem with bystarter. More likely to be a clogged pilot jet a...

Re: 87 spree trouble after cold start

I would suspect the by starter or or that passage that supplies the circuit with fuel is clogged up. First pull the carb and clean it well paying close attention to the small orifice in the float blowl. They clog easy and cause trouble. Also check check the entire intake tract. If the air hose or a...
