Re: 1887 Honda spree wont start!!!
Ok so I just found out that my moped is a 87 Iowa spree :/ I know they are slower, and I hate being slow! So I know they have a restrictor on the muffler some place that I need to remove or drill out. And if I do that I need a new jet! I would like to know exactly what I need to do so that it will g...

Re: 1887 Honda spree wont start!!!
OK! It started!!! I rode it down the road and back and it died when I got back into the garage. If I don't give it throttle it doesnt stay running. I'm guessing my carb needs to be tweaked so its perfect. I messed with the idle screw and oxygen screw for a while and I cant get it to idle for more th...

Re: 1887 Honda spree wont start!!!
Ok so I sucked on the vacuum hose and gas started to run out of the other hose into a bucket. It was a solid flow so I don't think that is a problem. Also I put a few drops of gas in the plug hole and still nothing. Like I said the spark plug is brand new and it has spark.

I brought it home, threw it in my basement and I haven't gotten it to start yet. I have read this forum and wi...
