1989 nq50
Looking for some help on what the issue might be with my 89 nq50. I can get it to fire when I spray some starter fluid into the carb but I can't get it to stay running. I've cleaned the gas filter, tank and replaced fuel and vaccume line. I've also cleaned carb and replaced spark plug. I've noticed that I'm not getting suction on vaccume tube that goes to the carb

The NQ50 was only produced from 84-87 and it doesn't have a gas filter unless you count the one inside the petcock. You sure it's a Spree?

Shatz,
Have a look at this topic:

and report back here with what you find..
Yes, as eclark says, your NQ50 is not a 1989. While it is sitting on the centerstand, lay on the ground on the right side of it with you head near the front wheel, and look up. The model year will be in large font on the VIN sticker.. please report back here with what you found on this as well.

Re: 1989 nq50
One more thing.. starter fluid has no place in a scooter shop.. it probably means that you are removing the air filter box, and perhaps even trying to start it with the air filter box removed. Instead, simply fill a pump oil can with gasoline and a small amount of oil. Leave the air filter box in place, then unscrew the cap on the top of the carb where the throttle cable goes into the carb. Lift the cap slightly without removing the throttle slide, squirt a pump or two of your gasoline/oil mix into the slide, put the cap back on the carb, and hit your starter button. It is much easier and you will get a better understanding of how the engine runs by leaving the air box in place.
