Re: 1984 Spree no start

The new pipe is very light compared to the other one. There is a "good" spark, I changed out the CDI and Rectifier also. I know the motor was "gone though" prior to me getting it...I think Im going to blow it apart and recheck everything. My son wanted the wheels black so I did t...

Re: 1984 Spree no start

I went though the harness, new main ground, added in-line fuse back to harness, and did a continuity check on all wires. I put another muffler on it and put a lid on the air box. Cleaned carb again....still not running.

1984 Spree no start

I just was gifted a non running 1984 Spree. I drained and cleaned the oil/gas tank and lines, new oil and gas. It has fuel and spark. Carb wasnt too bad, main jet slightly clogged. It turns over but wont start, sounds like it wants to fire up only with a shot of fuel in the cylinder. There is no air...
