i use penzoil 2 stroke oil. nothing fancy and it has worked great in my spree, i have 6422 miles on it and it runs GREAT!!

there is an endless amount of ways you could expand your tank. 1. taller (requires moding the seat) cutting into the bottom of the seat making it less padding but it would fit. 2. lower, cut off the petcock and make it go out the pet * cover. 3. bare bones the spree and expand towards the oil tank (...

I have gotten it running after a VERY long cleaning of the carb but as i took it apart i found this spring and i cant seem to figure out why?? now it will ...
