Hi all,
I have a 1985 Spree. When it rounds, it sounds like it's running a "little dry." (not getting enough oil.)
Someone at the place I work at likes to work on cars, and he has said that it sounds like it is running a little dry.
Is there any way to fix this? (for instance, maybe a parts or a part?)
Thanks so much in advance!

Greetings:
A two stroke engine that's not getting enough oil sounds like ... silence.
If it runs, it's getting enough oil.
YMMV

Re: 1985 Spree Oil Problem?
You can and should check the oil pump function. The check is in the manual. At idle it will be kicking out a drop or so every 5 seconds.
If it's not doing that, run 50:1 premix.
