A Pair of Sprees


I got the white one from my long-time friend Felipe. He works on and rides motorcycles. He bought the Spree to use as a runabout while at races. It doesn't have a carburetor and I have only recently located one for it, so we'll see how it runs soon. 

I was asked to get the red one running and it will start up and I can get it to run full throttle but only if I stick my finger way up into the air intake to choke out the carb. I haven't given up yet.

  1. On the red one I'd go over the intake looking for the vacuum leak. There's a hole someplace, Or a cracked hose. Check the fuel pump line.
