won't start
I have a 1986 Honda Spree that my uncle had in his barn for ages, and I took it to get it running. I cleaned out the carb, and I got it running for about five minutes, but it shut off. I tried starting it again but it doesn't go. when I try to start for a little bit, the gas flows out of the overflow line on the bottom of the carb. what is the problem?

Re: won't start
Your carb needs to come apart for a very thorough cleaning the float and or float valve is jammed up. As well as all of the maintenance that needs to be addressed after a scooter sits for a long period of time. Step 1... Download the service manual
Step 2... Read Manual
Step 3... Go to it
