Hi guys, i need help with my 1986 Spree. The engine runs fine and sounds smooth when it is on the kickstand (full throttle). But when i take it off the stand to ride it, the engine bogs, then stalls.

Man, does this sound familar! Seems to be a common problem.Mine did the same thing and I replaced the reed valves and gaskets and it cured my problem.I went thru the scooter so many times till I deciced to replace them.Also, spray carb cleaner or starting fluid around the carb and reed gaskets while it is running and see if it changes how it runs.Could be just leaking gaskets onthe reed valve assy or bad reeds.good luck
