1985 Spree lurched after going up hill
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2022 8:02 pm
Hi all, I have a 1985 Spree.
I have the SSS speed pulley installed.
I was flooring it up a hill.
For some reason, it eventually sounded like it was dying.
I pulled off to the side, then tried to get going again. It would lurch (like go, then lurch).
Any tips?
Could this potentially be a gear thing? I remember one of my friends saying that the gears were pretty worn down.
This guy says that something is a common problem with Sprees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63jBt0m ... uthhillsMx
Do you all think that this could be my issue?
Just a thought, but could be completely wrong: Drive belt?
Also, the acceleration noise is interuppted. It would go, then lurch (like, noise would cut out) and it keeping going wasn't great.
Temperature-wise, it's also pretty cold around here too.
Thanks for your help in advance!
