1987 woody spree!
Saw an ad on CL for a 1989 spree
I called the number in the ad and spoke with a man who told me the spree ran when it was put away last year, but now wont start. My favorite
He sent me a pic, and right away I saw it was a 1987 spree.
He told me that the scooter would run if I replaced the tubes, pin, and set the carb timing.
The original asking price was $200. I counter offered $50. I brought it home for $100

Re: Found a 1989 spree for sale on CL.
I also got the service manual!
I've never had one of these before.
Now wheres the section that tells how to set the carb timing pin.

God I hate timing a carb. Cleaning is one thing, but man, timing those suckers is a b****!
Nice find!

I think I found your PO's cousin selling one near me - see if there's anything in that manual about how to regulate the fuel on this Honda NOS

Read the manual cover to cover and I adjusted the carb jet pin, for the timing, to the best of my ability.
It is running great now, and even has some turn signals.
I plan to just fix this one up a bit and sell it, I am too big for the spree
Woody panels for the 1987 spree

TJ, that is the cleanest woody I've seen. Now if you just had an '87 Chrysler to go with it...

...purdy good, jamz,..
Sometimes a hobby (like wrenching scootz) comes with secondary hobbies....buying scooters from people who barely know how to turn the key. Can be hilarious, confounding, and often times very sad when you think about the sellers mechanical IQ...rock-on...

Re: 1987 woody spree!
I saw that on Cl too. 1989 I text him to see if he had any pictures and I received no reply. When do you plan on selling it?
