What belt did you get?

With the Spree you start out in High gear, hence the clutch gets hot.

No, the bystarter can only enrichen the mixture as long as it is installed. If removed it can cause a lean condition.

[spree-rider]

BONGS are always better. but i do think that a hukah is much better.

[woodman]

[spree-rider]

Puff cheetos, a 4 loko, and a couple rockstars and im set.oh, And the homies.

[woodman]

ahhhhhhh if only to live in the northwest heck the northeast would do im really REALLY getting tired of the south.

[woodman]

ok so upon further inspection while waiting for my belt to come in i notice a large chunk of motherloving carbon restricting the exaust tip,pull it out with my trusty needle nose torque back all that was untourqed and fire it up...........whammo 22-25 up hill 30-32 on flat 35-38 downhill and thats with a cruddy auto belt cant wait for the honda part to come in! does anybody have a picture of a known glass filled muffler for an 84 spree? if so please post it here i have an odd feeling mine is and before i set it a blaze i wanna be shure its not.
