Re: Cant keep it running
I replaced the fuel with new. When I pull the fuel lines off of the carb they are dry. There is no fuel getting to the carb. I know the motor is good I used to take the Spree to the race track when you could still do it. I will change the oil as soon as I can keep it running. I have faith in my ...
