My 85 spree has been running great all season, but the past few days have been cold/rainy and I store my spree outside, now it won't kick start (the taillight does come on and when I kick the front headlight lights up a little). I don't use my electric start since the battery to my knowledge is dead. Can anyone give me some tips or insight as to why it won't start? I use my spree daily and it would be great to have it up and running again.
Thanks,

Questions:
All stock setup?
Includes air box and well-oiled filter element?
Have you tried simply changing the spark plug? (Sometimes that's all it takes...)

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Yes all stock, It does have an air box and an oil filter. I have an extra new spark plug for a 86 honda elite 50 would that work in my spree?
Thanks for the help

There was no Honda Elite 50 in 1986. The standard plug on the '86 Aero was BPR-6. Confirm the same spec for the Spree and try it. It should be OK to see if it starts at leas.
