hey guys
when i first rebuilt my spree and put it together it was running great but when i didnt apply throttle it would eventually die
so i started adjusting the settings on the carb
now it wont start at all and if it does its very few and far between and for a limited amount of time
anyone have any advice to get me back on the road?

Re: tuning my spree
So you started adjusting the carb and made things worse.
Did you follow the instructions in the service manual? If not you need to know that this ain't a d*** 4 stroke and you can't just wing it without ending up like you have.

Re: tuning my spree
Greetings:
I recommend you start with the easiest thing: Buy and install a new spark plug. Sometimes you get lucky and that's all it is. If it was run too rich for a while, or spent a lot of time on the enrichener without getting a chance to burn off the ash, the plug just fouls.
