Everyong has a limit to their patience and I have reached mine. I've been working on it for two weeks and like you said I have messed it up worse than B4 so I'm throwing in the towel. It's a lot more then just this problem that is driving me crazy. This is the last straw sort of things. I don't have ...

I dumped gas in where the sparkplug goes and she started up breifly before revving to a max and dying becuz I screwed up the throttle valve assembly. It's crunching and sticking. That can be done later I suppose. But I guess the problem is no fuel. The fuel is not coming out of the line at all, but ...

Gas is not coing out of the line now, but it did when I first took it off. How long should I crank it over for in order to get the gas to flow through it? I will be trying to get a video of the bike and the sound it makes.

OK...carburetor is cleaned and rebuilt, valve assembly and fuel lines are clean, but the auto fuel valve has what seems to be a clog in the lower stem. Is there a screen or something in there? I'm afraid to poke something in there as I have already soked it with the carburetor, sprayed jets of air ...

I am in the process of cleaning the carburetor, valve spring, fuel lines, the auto fuel valve and I have run into a couple of speed bumps. First, where is the strainer? It doesn't appear to be in the fuel valve. Is it part of the assembly where the fuel valve screws on? Should it drop out or ...

This is my only mode of transportation, so I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone could give me. I paid 300 for the bike and I want to avoid paying that much to bring it to the shop. Thanx in advance

85 spree won't start

I rode it around the corner to the store. Stopped and started again to get home. It had been working normally before this and a couple of hours later it won't start. Plenty of compression with finger over hole. I put in a new sparkplug and put in a capful of gas and it started for a split second ...

I put a new air filter in last year and only run it during the summer. I forgot to mention that it makes the same sound starting with the plug cap on as it does when the cap is off. I think the problem might be spark if it's doing that. Does the cap have 2 grippers inside the plug cap or one?

I suppose it's possible. Would the bike run normally at all other times? I'm thinking that the float might be getting stuck when the bike is over a certain degree angle. Is this possible? Also, does water settle or float in gasoline?

Wouldn't that effect the bike all the time not just on hills?
