Value of a 1985 Honda Spree
After having to deal with a ton of small fixes on my scoot I've decided that I'm not cut out for all of the maintanance that older scooters require - I simply don't have the mechanical knowledge. My question, though, is what exactly is the value of the scooter? I know that value is contingent on a l...

Sparkplug issues? Engine turns over but won't start...
The scoot finally started with a little love when I first got it (about 5 months ago) but it just stopped one day and wouldn't start again. The engine would turn over but it wouldn't start. I had my uncle take a look at it (he's really into go-carts and stuff) and he got it to start again by messing...

I filled the scooter with fuel and it immediately started running better. I couldn't crank the throttle all the way, but it was getting about 21 to 22 before it'd bog down. Then today I started it - it's pretty cold here right now but it started right away. I let it idle for a while and then I rode ...

I just tried to jump the battery but the jumper cables were too big to hook onto the battery... Are there jumper cables that are specifically designed for small batteries? I just talked to the previous owner and he confirmed that the battery is old and the scooter has been sitting for a long time so...

Mechanic in the Seattle Tacoma Area
Long story short, I bought an 85 spree that ran - two hours later it wouldn't turn on. I'm a college student and I have been saving up for several months to get a scoot (this one was 450$) and I don't have the money to give a mechanic 85$ an hour to tell me that I need to spend 50$ for this part and...

Thanks for all of your replies. I'm gonna jump the battery tonight and I'm going to try to take off the panel tomorrow so that I can see what's going on - hopefully I'll be able to figure out which part is which :/ It's really strange because it literally started right away yesterday afternoon (just...

85 Honda Spree - help a scoot retard out
I just purchased an 85 honda spree off of craigslist. When I bought it yesterday it started right up - it has low milage and has been fairly well maintained - but several hours later when it was sitting in my garage it won't start. It just makes a squeal/whiny noise every time I try to get it going....
