Thanks vette! How is the headlights and guage lights controled to only light when running. I cannot see that on the electrical schematic. Is there a relay in the speedometer cluster that opens the ground for those items when it senses power (ie. voltage from the alternator)? It sounds like I am bein...

My experience with all small engines is to remove the filter and spray over the intake. I am not sure if the honda 2-cycle needs the filter to maintain the correct air flow to fuel ratio, but it will work either way. You are just adding fuel to the air so that there is something to burn. Obviously t...

Thanks. I will check to see if that does it. I will report back hopefully later tonight. EDIT: 30 minutes later. Chased back from the starter to the button. The key was the brakes on and the starter button was fouled. I got it to spin. Now I need to get a spark. EDIT: 1 hour later. Nothing still at ...

I have received a 1985 Spree which was recently running. (< 2years) I have worked through the service manual...
