1985 Spree starting then dying.
First post ever . New member . I have an 85 & an 87 Honda Spree . The 85 is giving me problems. It would start up and die immediately unless giving it gas. Now it just won't start at all. I don't know a lot about scooters. I just started working on them but love it. It's probably a common problem but if anyone can help that would be great, thanks.

Have seen some folks here chase a low compression issues lately... it is worth getting a reading.
Clean the carb, clean and oil your air fliter, and stuff in new ngk plug.
Report back.

I'm more than happy to explain it to you. I'll even draw you a picture! But I can't understand it for you.

All of the above... Paying close attention to the idle pilot circuit hole in the float bowl of the carb, it allows the fuel into the idle circuit of the carb so if it gets clogged which is easy cause its tiny no fuel gets in for idle and starting. Check all of the fuel lines they can rot on the inside dumping debris into the carb. Check the screen in the tank with a bright flashlight for clogging junk. I had a friends aero that would only run on above a half tank of fuel because there was stuff clogging the screen in the tank. A couple easy ways to check for fuel flow is first open the float bowl drain screw and see if any fuel drain out with the scooter not running, then crank it with the screw still open for a about 20 sec. Does any fuel come out. If not you can check the petcock by pulling the lines form the carb and intake apply vacuum to the vacuum line and see if fuel comes out of the fuel line. If fuel flows freely then go at the carb which should be done no matter what.swflcarl wrote:Have seen some folks here chase a low compression issues lately... it is worth getting a reading.
