my 85 spree goes about 31 on flat ground after warmed up but i have a slow take off. it goes quite slow till it gets going about 15 mph then goes fast but cant figure out how to make the take off faster.

Clean the carbourator, and de-carbonize the muffler. Check your belt for wear, to see if it needs relacement.

Instructions for all those are in the Tech Doc's section

I solved this on mine by cleaning and adjusting the carb and plugging a hole some one had drilled in my air cleaner. Make sure the air cleaner lid is tight and not leaking.

Pull the cylinder off (but only if you have a new head gasket) and see if the exhaust port in the cylinder is plugged with carbon.
