Selling a Spree - some questions.

I have recently decided to sell my 1984 Spree and am wondering what kind of price I should ask for. It's in awesome condition, runs well, only has 230 km on it. All parts are original - even the tires. There's no tears in the seat, only minor scuff marks on the body which could easily be fixed. It ...

Is there a way to judge the correct position of the idle screw without any tools, or is it up to chance and fiddling?

Sensitive throttle, air intake, problems running.

I recently installed a new bystarter into my 84 spree, thinking it was my only big problem, but I am still experiencing quite a few hiccups. I am still having to plug the air intake when starting it, and I don't know how to fix this. It starts after a few tries and runs to some extent, but sounds ...

Couple rubber straps and a zip up binder?

Heh, that would definitely get the job done. Maybe I'll look in an office supply store for a small rectangular lock box. I find the trunks look too insectoid and unbalanced and silly, and milk crates just won't cut it. I like the baskets but they aren't ...

I had thought about them but those seem really bulky and awkward...I guess I'm looking for something with not a lot of height.

What to put on rear rack.

What sort of cases, lockboxes, et cetera can anyone recommend that will fit on the rear rack of the Spree and not look too stupid? I am looking for something on the smaller side that can close to keep documents, papers, manuals in, nothing like a milk crate or basket. I've seen saddlebags on some of ...

Parts - need help where to find them

Honda Parts Direct e-mailed me to say that the parts I want for my 84 spree are discontinued (then they had the nerve to ask me if I was still willing to pay $35.58 for one nut), so I'm out of a bystarter. I really need a new one, and I am not sure where else to look. I live in Canada so shipping is ...

You can order it from the Honda PowerSports dealer, part 16046-GK8-003. You should also be able to order it from http://www.hondaparts-direct.com .

84 Spree Bystarter

So my bystarter is shot, and I'm looking for a replacement. Where would be an ideal place to get a new one? Honda parts store? Do they even still make them? Is there a newer model that'll work with the spree? I saw one for an aero on ebay, but I don't know if it's compatible. Anyone think eBay is my ...

1984 white spree

This is my new 1984 Spree. Just bought it Sunday from a guy whose grandfather only put 212 km on it. Still had the tank of gas in it from when it was last used in 1994. Needs to be cleaned, de-gunked, but it looks like it just came off the line.

The only problem so far is with the auto choke. I ...
