Spree AF05E

[Fishman43]

I picked up a CL Spree score yesrterday to put back together and sell locally (unless anyone wants to pay shipping ). I know didly about Sprees, but the trans cover says AF05E on it. Isn't that the restricted Elite motor?

[catsailor]

do you have any pics?

[Fishman43]

Not with me right now, but I could snap some later today. The scoot is still in the back of my car... smells a little like gas

[catsailor]

What color and condition are the plastics?

[Fishman43]

Sent you a PM

Stock Spree motor is stamped AFO5E as well. IDK why.

[Fishman43]

Thanks Marty. I may be needing some parts from you to get this beast back on the road ready for sale... I'll sort out the petcock cover myself

My pressure pot parts from Ebay just showed up yesterday so I hope for some good castings this weekend, I do have 3 days off after all

Yes the way to tell if your AF05E is variated is by taking a look @ the intake manifold. 4 bolt= variated.

True for the most part. The exception is the 1985 Aero, and perhaps the '83-'84s as well. For sure the '85 has a variator under its 2-Bolt intake.

The very Best way to determine this issue is to remove the belt cover. If you see a variator, then your scooter's variated.

Thanks I don't expect anyone to have slid a variated engine under my cheep CL find Spree, but know what parts I might need to get-r runnin is what I needed to know.

2 bolt manifolds can be variated as well. I have 2 parts engines like this.

[bradthreee]

I know that but I'll let other people chime in as well

Is "variated" good then? sorry -

[bradthreee]

Variated is great!

Un-Variated....mmm not so much...

No....ALL sprees say afo5e on the trans cover

All non-variator engines kickers go counter clockwise.

That is the easy way to tell. If there is no kicker, it in definaltly non-variated.
