Have an 85 Honda Spree, runs but won't go anywhere.

Post by VLB4233 »

I have a 85 Honda Spree. You can start it and it runs. You can rev the engine but it just won't go anywhere. My son and I put the kick stand up to raise the back of the bike and the tire spins as you give it gas but he put his foot on the tire and it stopped. I've already put a new starter in it and a new battery. I don't have a owner's manual so I don't even have a picture with parts to tell me what to look for. Also, someone took the kick starter off. I REALLY want to get it going so I can ride it. I got to ride it for 2 weeks back and forth to work before it started this. At first it was fine. I could get it to almost 35 mph and then it kept getting slower and slower. It finally got down to 5 mph and then nothing. Please help.

Clutch pads are gone.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
