Re: Scoot adapted for snow?

Chrysler built these... often called "snow peds" , the brand name is "SNo-Runner" . Echo also built one called the Snow Bike. If I had a spree with no side panels... I think I would head down this direction. A water cooled engine might work better....hmm Click here for the link t...

Plastic repair, Tail light on an 87 Spree

How much JB Weld should I use to repair my plastic license bracket? The JB Weld website says it will not work for this application, can somebody with a high post count confirm that JB Weld will work? Since I have so few posts... can you guys make sure to use really small words if you reply. If I is ...

Re: CLeaning carb,can't get clean little brass tube beside main

OK, the score is in: Varnish: 0 Hondaspree.net: 1 I was spraying my can of carb cleaner through the passages and realized that the tiny hole (into the venturi) and the screw hole (on the side) were not clogged, and carb cleaner sprayed into one yielded spray out of the other. I found the below diagr...

Re: Tetanus Terror

those wheels (the metal star spokes) are HOT.

What are you doing with it? a full resto/mod?

I'm looking for a moped to add to my scooter collection, I envy your neat find. How much did you get it for?

Re: CLeaning carb,can't get clean little brass tube beside main

Ok. I didn't even know that the emulsion tube was there. I took the carb back apart and put it in the carb dip tank. I took the emulsion tube out this time (didn't even realize it was there). I still can't get the little idle tube to clear - it's killing me. I'm going to let it soak overnight again ...

CLeaning carb,can't get clean little brass tube beside main

So, my new-to-me-100-dollar-Spree idles great. Original issue: Idles great, when given throttle it would throttle up for about 5 seconds then start to die out I suspected fuel starvation, decided to clean carb and drain tank. Tank was clean, clean, clean on the inside, fuel lines were clear, vacuum ...

Re: Seat latch / lock stuck. Won't open - '86 Spree

I took your advice and reached up underneath, it's hard to find the catch if you have no idea what you are looking for - I just bought my spree and had never had the plastics off. Removing the plastic proved equally easy. I used a ratcheting wrench to take off the bolts under the back of the seat. T...

Re: supercharger?

These guys make "custom superchargers" for your application, in addition to the superchargers that they make for R/C cars and airplanes (Like 4cc size engines).

SO, yes, I would say you can get ones that are small enough - but...
