No gas to carburetor

Cleaned petcock assembly and carburetor, reattached and secured hoses, installed new starter valve set. No gas flow from full tank. Engine cranks with starter button but no gas. This is a vacuum system but does it need to be primed somehow? Could my fuel filter screen be clogged? How do I remove it ...

left hand brake does not engage stop light or starter button

1985 spree. Was in an accident which badly bent the front fork. Now left hand brake does not engage the stop light or, apparently, the starter button.

Re: Wrong oil added to tank.

Thank you, everybody! I appreciate your help. I am hopeful (and glad to hear that I am not the only one who has added the incorrect oil to the oil tank) that gravity and good fortune will sort things out. I am grateful for "Wheelman's" step by step instructions for draining and reconnecting to the ...

Re: Wrong oil added to tank.

I did add the oil to the oil tank and have been running the bike, which runs well...up to 25 mph. I just heard from the mechanic who tuned it up (cleaned the carb and new spark plug), but doesn't know about the wrong oil yet. I am worried about the air bubble and don't know about my oil line ...

Wrong oil added to tank.

I have an '86 Honda Spree which runs well. I added oil to the tank, but mistakenly read the manual and added sae 10-40 oil instead of the recommended 2-stroke oil. I only added 1/4 to 1/3 of a quart. Will this cause undo problems such that I should drain the oil and refill with recommended oil?
