To get good help you probably need to define "lack of power" a little better.

Does the engine fail to accelerate?
Does the engine accelerate but it doesn't go anywhere?
Is it different under load vs. on its stand?

Also, if you have the capability, it would be good to check the compression.

I had an issue with my 86' Spree doing something similar (soft seizing?) and I corrected the issue by making sure that the fuel was full and all lines (vacuum, fuel, oil) were properly connected and flowing. You may be experiencing mixture issues so keep an eye & nose on the exhaust color, revability after idle, and your oil tank... Mixture would be my first step and then compression, plug fouling, drivetrain... Good luck

the engine will idle but dies as more gas is given. if i sit on it and try and give it gas it goes no were when its on the kick stand the back tire will spin. i just cleaned the carb and put it back togeather 10 mins ago

i had to give my friend a ride home on it so maby the 280 pounds messed up the drive train?

[andysspree]

could it be a air leak in one of the fuel/oil lines???

No, the Spree will handle 290 pounds forever, at least mine has for the last 18 years.
